My proofreader is out of the office

Usually when I post a thread, I am in the middle of fuming from something I just read or heard, so I pop out my words and thoughts like a Pez dispenser. My wife usually assists me on the final draft. "Give honor to whom honor is due", amen. She has been hard at it lately with her own little projects in life.

I believe in the use of layman's terms, and proper English, so having come to grips with the reality that I never actually learned proper English and grammar during 12 years of public school, I am trying to reinvent my English and grammar and am also having to actually educate myself again along those same lines.  I do find it extremely important in this day and age, so forgive me if some posts are not properly proofed.
