Dear Fernando, Good post. Actually, it should read "Too many frowning faces." Graham misspelled the word "grammer" It should be "grammar". Does Graham know Spanish or Portuguese? Unlike computers, the human mind can interpret the meaning from context. Example: T'waz da knight bevor Chrissmass and awl true da hows nutin waz sturing not e'en a maus. Keep up the good work Fernando. Jurnalizm and the styles of jurnalism differ greatly. The way words are spelled vary from language to language. The word for "box" is die Kiste in German, e kiste in Greek, and the chest in English. Too many of us box ourselves into the very tiny constraints of logic. Good journalism can be both logical and illogical, serious and flippant, short and long.
