please use spell check

Hunter, the kid can't add or subtract but if my computer craps out I need a 14-year-old to get me going again.

Spellcheck can be very helpful learning a new language.

BTW I think you need to start typing after the last quote. I think thats why your last post didnt come out right.

I will try to use spellcheck more often. Its not that I cant spell, but it catches mistakes and I make more than my share of mistakes. (always editing)

That is a bold statement, but I have to admit I love your way of thinking It is a different world out there for sure and these kids will surely run circles around us in different fields.

I always hated fractions. when I found a decimal equivalent table and memorized it, I was in hog heave. At 79 I still switch to decimal in my mind. fractions are useless to my way of thinking. Now grab and run with this one. Bob

I use fractions most of the time.

I use fractions and decimal inter-changably, but then I'm ambidexterous

Really don't give a hoot if I spell correctly on a freindly, informal, public forum such as this, but use more care with more formal documents.

Bob, I'll go you one better. I'm a 53-year-old native born American who wishes we abolish all English measure and use the Metric System. Just like our 100 penny to the dollar money system, the metric system is very simple and much more intuitive.

What could be simpler than a metric socket set? No more 3/32 or 7/64 problems. Especially when you're buried in the engine well of a boat and can't see or move. Metric wrenches all the way. Same with length and weight measure too.

Me too, except when I'm dealing with hole numbers...

Such as this hole is 1 inch, this'ins 2 inches
