You have to realize we're getting old. I'm only 72 but some may be in their 80s and 90s. Sometimes I will make a mistake and not even see it when I read it over to make corrections. And sometimes I just can't figure out the best way to express what I'm thinking.

But, listen, it's possible to be grammatically correct and not have quality of thought. On the other hand, some may be grammatically incorrect but have good quality of thought.

What I would like to see is an "English Board" on this site where one can go for help.
