1. My spelling has gone to hell as I got older

But thanks to the DU spelling police I am reminded from time to time of that fact. Even though I use spell check I can get my there's and theirs mixed up. Such as it is when you have been around a long time.

8. upaloopa..you are not alone..about the spelling police.

I too am reminded from time to time. Hell...I do the best I can, and then correct the mistake..Is that ok?

When I was a lad, I recall vaguely that there were erasers on pencils..Do they still do that?

In fact, I saw on the computer, that it has a key that will delete a word or a sentence if there is a mistake made..ok?

thank you for listening to this from a more mature individual.....
