I bet that had some folk wondering what on earth I was saying well there is one thing about being expressive and original but if nobody can understand the lingo then it must surely be counter productive. Anyway Walter, nice to hear from you again. In answer to your question, I don't really know but I will try and find out from my brother as he always has his ear to the ground. I do know that Shelby Lynne is coming to the Fruitmarket sometime in April. Will let you know asap.

It's not so much spelling that's the issue - -- some people just can't spell -- although I can't imagine why anybody wouldn't just use the spell check function before they send their mail to at least correct true misspellings. And it's not about regional dialects. It's about common courtesy and making yourself understood. Period. Unless you're writing simply to see your own words in print -- essentially writing for the sake of writing, or writing for yourself -- I'll never understand why you wouldn't do everything you could to make your posts easy to comprehend. Meaning appropriate capitalization Correct punctuation. Proper spelling. And the occasional paragraph break. I pretty much have a policy that I immediately delete posts from people who seem to think that breaking accepted rules of grammar and spelling is cute, creative or somehow "eccentric." And yes, it means that I often miss posts from some folks who I consider to be friends, but I just don't want to have to work that hard. If you want me to read what you have to say -- and I have to assume that's why you're writing -- you're the one who's going to have to do the work. Sorry.

Sometimes, the way people express themselves requires more work on the receiver's part. We each have to decide if it's worth the effort.
