There are SO many misspelled words on this site, I can't stand it! If someone is empowered to design a Web Page, SOMEONE ELSE NEEDS TO PROOFREAD IT.
"Photo's" Is a possessive. You mean "photos", which is plural. The word "to" should be "too". Please! Please! Please! It's OK for subscribers to have errors, but YOU are supposed to be professionals!

I deleted this message at first but I decided to bring it back (because I want people to express there opinions). I don't mine the rant. I will be the first one too tell you that my spelling sucks. I do proof read carefully but spelling and grammer are not my strong points. What ever my spell checker (Word) doesn't catch usually slips by.
I do get a few emails from users every now and then telling me of a error here and there. I fix them right away. I don't want spelling and grammer mistakes on my site but, I don't have anyone else to proof read it.
Next time you want to express your opinion please be constructive and point out the spot (page, paragraph, sentence, ..) where the spelling, grammer or error occured.
Thank-you

I have read women complaining about spelling when it comes to guys responding to a personal ad.
Using a spell checker or even a professional program like Word Perfect is no promise of a correctly spelled word. Example: Most of us middle aged guys never took typing in public school or college (I did in junior high which was unusual for a guy since it was just me and another one in a room full of girls (and the other guy was one of the 'bad boys' you women love so much).
Even so, I am not a good typist even with training and having to do a lot in the later years of my job before I retired. I tend to transpose words like 'is' and write 'si'. Both are legitimate words with completely different meanings.
Another example is I write wee instead of were most of the time. Again legit but different words.
So a spell chekcer is like the old computer saying garbage in, gargage out.
Second, Why is spelling a few words incorrectly such a big deal? If I met a nice, attractive woman with normal intelligence, I would not sit there grading her like a school teacher grading a student. I want a potential companion and could care less if she can spell 'cat'.
I suspect women who complain about something so trivial will always be alone. If something this minor bothers you about another person, what about snoring? That will actually mess up a person's health being kept awake at night by another person snoring the night away and you women snore. Now that is an area to complain about because it does effect relationships.
My advice is lighten up. There are plenty of chances to find that new person annoying.
