Spell checking & proofreading

How do people send emails out, publish pamphlets or brochures, etc. without checking for spelling errors? Most email programs have spell check, and outlook even has an option to automatically spell check your email before it is sent out. Honestly, people click the button before you send an email out! Let's play a game...Below are excerpts of emails I have received from fellow non-spell checkers. Can you figure out which word(s) are misspelled?

"Hope everyone also brings their game faces and kick butt attitute."

"It's necesary for everyone to be to the fields an hour beforehand."

"are we playing the memprial day tournamnet or not?"

"when do we ned to be to the fields?"

I understand that I am human and I admit I have sent emails out without checking for spelling when I am in a hurry. It's no excuse I know. I send at least fifteen emails out per day and I am very spell check & grammar conscience. Now let's play another game, can you find the grammar errors from these email excerpts?

"Sorry to bearer of bad news but RSL will be unable to come down play."

"Let only hope that the up coming tournaments and league games run as smoothly..."

"Thanks again to everyone without every ones efforts we wouldn't have has such a successful weekend!"

"...I will need to cal them and extend the invitation, as them maybe on vacation at not receiving the message."

"your all very good soccer players"

"hi couch"

Honestly people, would it hurt to look over your email before you send it out. Most of the above emails were not just sent to me but were also sent to 10+ people. I understand that most email programs on the internet do not have a grammar option. Would it hurt to take a few extra minutes to read through your email before pressing the send button?

Trust me, when people receive emails with basic grammar errors and/or spelling errors, they do not think very highly of you. Especially when you continually send out emails with errors. Once, twice, even three times fine but anymore than that you need to go back to school. You're definitely not smarter than a fifth grader!

Tax on Soft Drinks...What!?!

Okay I understand we are in a recession. I understand there are people walking the streets uninsured. But why do we need to cover their insurance? Okay since it seems there is no getting around covering the 1.5 trillion dollars over the next 10 years for the 50 million uninsured Americans. These amounts breakdown to $3,000 per uninsured American per year.

The Senate Finance Committee (SFC) has already suggested increasing alcohol taxes which will account for $60 billion of the required funds. As much as I dislike this suggestion, I cannot blame the government for increasing the taxes on alcohol. Whenever the economy is down people drink more. People are losing money with their stocks, some losing jobs, losing houses, etc… What better to companion depression with but with alcohol.

So where is the other $1.44 trillion dollars going to come from? The SFC is looking to start taxing soft drinks that contribute to the obesity in America. I do not think it is fair to only start taxing soft drinks if it is due to obesity. I believe there should be taxes on fast food chains where fried foods are located. As with the suggestion that no taxes will be levied on diet drinks, I would suggest the same for taxes on grilled and non-fried foods found in fast food chains. Do I want the government to start taxing soft drinks? Of course not!

Where should the funds come from then??? Legalize marijuana and tax the hell out of it? How about taxes on pornographic materials? Tax bibles?
