Connitent?  Do they have tasty bite sized guns available for purchase?  Are they legal to purchase on Sunday in Pencilvania?

Most likely where Binghampton is. 

Binhampton was where that teen from Phillipsburg, NJ once said lied where I-81 and NY 17 meet for those who do not remember that place  the other teen posted once before.  It has been a while as he has been off the forum for a couple of years.

And if all else fails, you can do like we did in the olden days and look it up.  It's even easier now.  Type the word into Google or dictionary.com and it will probably tell you the correct spelling.

Not caring about spelling is a good way to make others not care about reading your writing.

For instance, among my jobs is hiring college student assistants.  Most of them say they're good at detail work.  If they say they're good at detail work, having misspellings or typos on their application is a quick route to the "regrets" pile.

You know freebrick, I really have to wonder about this. By the time I am in a nursing home and today's teens are running the business world, will those employers really care about good spelling & grammar? They may say, "I didn't care about my writing, why should I judge anyone else's?

Then the world will really hit that proverbial greased chute. Alanland will by then have successfully conquered the United States. Next stop, the world.

People have been wondering that for a long time, as the baby boomers came up listing to nonsense lyrics on the radio and reading beat poets.  Yet when it came time to hire professional people, suddenly spelling and grammar became important again.
