Some corrections are done diplomatically and some corrections sound cold and unfeeling. There is always a human typing behind every computer. That human might be beginning Alzheimers, or just cussed mean, but he or she thinks they are right.

Some corrections are made to feel superior and some corrections are because people are innate teachers.

I love this forum because although many are anonymous, after reading their posts for awhile you can figure out quite a bit about them.

Just because a person is diplomatic doesn't mean they are nice. And nice people are not always diplomatic.

A good deal of our misunderstandings on this forum are due to ways that people in different parts of the country communicate.
