My own personal "Flowers for Algernon"....

Edited on Mon Jan-17-05 05:54 PM by Richardo

I find that I'm forgetting how to spell. I just posted with the word "it's" to denote possession, and I find that I'm putting in "your" for "You're" with alarming frequency... :eyes: And I have to stop to think whether it should be 'effect' or 'affect'.

(At the risk of sounding like Dustin Hoffman, I really used to be an excellent speller. Practically intuitive.)

So: am I just typing too fast or will I soon be asking you to put flowers on Algernon's grave for me? :scared:

Signed,

Charly Gordon

1. Well, most of your punctuation is in the right place, and in the right

quantity, so I don't think you've reached Charly level yet :)

3. Ooooooh, if it's a possessive, it's just "I-T-S"

but if it's supposed to be a contraction, then it's "I-T-apostrophe-S"...
