I see. Pure laziness, then.

I expected no less.

Thank you for the entertainment, Mr. Kierstead.

It has been enlightening.

[Edwin Pawlowski]

The best entertainment will be when you have a typing error not caught by your spell checker. That would be two funny!

[Adam Diehl]

Thank you! My next work will be an impartial and in-depth analysis of the character traits of people who click buttons versus those who push other peoples' buttons. Watch for it!

Us great ones are finding you both insufferable.

[Homer]

Four shore!

[Paul Kierstead]

Well, it could be many things but it could not be laziness. Since said button was pressed and the spelling error retained, then effort was placed into it. I try not to live up to expectations, since so few people expect anything worthwhile.

[Homer]

In that endeavor you have succeeded admirably.

Many years ago, I thought as you do that grammar and language was very important and of course it is. But in the years since, I have met and worked with many people who have difficulties learning and using English.

However, I have never noticed that this in any way diminished their character. In fact I would estimate that because of their lot in life, their character was more robust than most. Perhaps this was because they had experienced the hardness of life first hand.

For your edification, I have included the following. The final quotation is instructive. Perhaps you had intended reputation instead?

Personally, I appreciate the original posting as it has the potential of enlightening some readers and pertains to the topic of woodworking. Regretfully, your response does not.

It were much to be wished that there were throughout the world but one sort of character for each letter to express it to the eye. --Holder.

The character or that dominion. --Milton.

Know well each Ancient's proper character; His fable, subject, scope in every page; Religion, Country, genius of his Age. --Pope.

A man of . . . thoroughly subservient character. --Motley.

2. A unique or extraordinary individuality; a person characterized by peculiar or notable traits; a person who illustrates certain phases of character; as, Randolph was a character; Caesar is a great historical character.
3. One of the persons of a drama or novel.

Note: ``It would be well if character and reputation were used distinctively. In truth, character is what a person is; reputation is what he is supposed to be. Character is in himself, reputation is in the minds of others. Character is injured by temptations, and by wrongdoing; reputation by slanders, and libels. Character endures throughout defamation in every form, but perishes when there is a voluntary transgression; reputation may last through numerous transgressions, but be destroyed by a single, and even an unfounded, accusation or aspersion.'' --Abbott.
