It's very frustrating that I still cannot remember how to spell some words that I have written a thousand times. There must be a memory technique that I am missing.

Oh, my, my — watt a tail of whoa.

I think ewe should just bare with the writers who offend ewe. Although ewe might think there posts pail in comparison to you’re own, ewe should knot let they’re spelling great on you’re nerves.

If ewe bale out before finishing said offending posts, ewe might later discover ewe mist something good and that could hinder you’re piece of mind.

PROPER grammar, punctuation,

Lack of paragraphs reminds me of that person who doesn’t seem to take a breath when rapidly telling a long winded story.

Folks tend to stop listening
and look for a way to retreat …

… just as when I see a single, 120 word paragraph, I immediately have very little interest in reading through it
I am so confused. Was this post sarcasm, or real?
That would be important to know before correcting the spelling and punctuation errors in the post and looking silly for not recognizing the sarcasm.
