Thanks a lot. But that is because i check and recheck and recheck my posts.

And once they are posted i still make a few changes while i still can.

I lost a lot of time doing this. I know that practice and time will help.
But sometimes i still have an uneasy feeling about some sentences i wrote.
If u like, we can point out your errors
and make corrections. Some people don't like that. How do u feel about it??

@oristarA,
That's a kind of slang; in this case, my own slang. People sometimes use the word 'wise' attached to some other word, or after another word, such as money wise or fashion wise, as in "Fashion wise, she wears clothes that are completely out of style". It is used instead of saying "In regard to fashion, she...."

I happen to like word play and sometimes make up my own words. This can throw readers off - so don't always trust me to be speaking correct english usage.

In the example about Farmerman's spelling, I was trying to say he has quite a good reason for not always typing and spelling perfectly. So, when I said spelling word wise, I meant "in regard to his spelling..."
