RARA-AVIS: Netiquette (WAS: The English Language)

Mon, 10 Aug 1998 12:43:26 -0700 It is my understanding that proper netiquette compels the reader to ignore
poor spelling and grammar, even on a literary list such as this, the reason
being that it is far easier to nitpick about these kinds of errors than to
move forward with a substantive discussion on the topic at issue. May we
continue with the HB topic at hand or pick a new one? Cynthia.
