A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi

I read a study that really important people send very sloppy e-mail. They don't have time to re-read and edit for grammar or spelling or all lower case or whatever.

Seriously, it's Aluminium. You can't just go around taking letters out of real words for your own amusement, where would it all end? Incidentally, what colour is the aluminium can from which you are imbibing?

The metal in question was originally named "Alumium" in 1808 by Sir Humphrey Davy, an English chemist. No one liked that name, so he changed it to "Aluminum". Americans adopted this spelling, but the Brits continued to whinge about it until Sir Davy changed it once again, this time to "Aluminium". The Americans largely ignored this later change, since the aluminum siding companies had already printed up their business stationery.

Well, the police announce themselves as "Freeze! Police" or with signs that say STOP! Police....So the Police cannot complain on being addressed as Police but I would think twice about that now.

Actually "really important people" have really meticulous secretaries who read and respond to their emails while they lunch and golf. So their responses are impeccable.

This is the next class war. While the rich bourgeois can afford to have their grammar and spelling checked, the downtrodden proletariat have to make do with shoddy writing. No more will we settle for this lack of equality! We will rise up and demand the ability, nay the right, to spell and write correctly. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their typing style. They have a dictionary to win. Working typists of all countries, unite!
