| Sometimes it makes a real difference. Like one time in my home town when a guy was lifting buckets of cement with a winch. Handle got away from him and whacked him in the chest. The paper reported that his ribs had been broken by a wench. Totally different meaning. |

I think it's texting maybe. Some of the smartest and most capable people I've known couldn't spell "worth a dam" [sic] but I do need spaces between sentences to read it.
Slavia: that's funny! I notice the standards of general education or knowledge of journalists, these days, is at an all time low. |

Isn't that supposed to read "even though I REALLY want to!!!"?
I guess it's obvious I suffer from the same desires as you... |
