If it exists, that shoots Beth's idea that words don't much matter and
that
we can treat them with contempt by writing them anyway we want without
observing the conventions.

Nope, thats not my idea at all. My idea is that the ability to express
ideas on usenet isnt' restricted by your ideas about what "good writing"

They are not my ideas but the ideas of all minimally educated persons who
believe that culture counts for something in this world.

Actually, I detect that you are writing somewhat better now than formerly.
All you need do is mind a few p's and q's and you will almost be up to the
mark. You do not ever want to be where slugger is at, do you?
