In the years I've used the newsgroups, it seems to me that typos &
incorrect statements was a norm. It is even worst when using
the mobile devices as meanings to abbreviations conflict & newer
meanings are created as well as spelling of words.
I do recall that apple claimed that "all we need" is to use icons; the
point & click will do everything one wanted which some have taken
it to also mean "spelling" & meanings. Isn't this "creative writing"?
