    No, your writing is not stuffy. It is more often than not thoughful, fair, and error-free. However your writing does betray your age, and suggests that you are a social conservative by stripperweb standard, but a free-wheeling liberal by your geographical community standard. You're most likely an independent on the socio-political spectrum. You're not a warrior; you have a 'need' (?) to keep things peaceful even at the cost of compromising/minimizing the importance of your own principles [this is not an attack just an assessment from my vantage point]. As far as grammatical mistakes and stuffiness are concerned, your writing does not exhibit any of that. I like you....sometimes. heheheh!!

    PS. To all those who look down on 'peeps who write like dat and say b4 u do this u must talk 2 tha boss': I do write like that sometimes when I feel like it, other times I also can put up some cool erudite English paragraphs that would make my parents proud.

    However your writing does betray your age,

    I have already owned up to my 87 years.

    and suggests that you are a social conservative by stripperweb standard,

    Bill Clinton was a social conservative by StripperWeb standard.

    but a free-wheeling liberal by your geographical community standard.

    Bill Clinton was a free-wheeling liberal by my geographical community standard.

    You're most likely an independent on the socio-political spectrum.

    I can't commit to that.

    You're not a warrior;

    Huh? Let's take that one outside, pal.

    you have a 'need' (?) to keep things peaceful even at the cost of compromising/minimizing the importance of your own principles [this is not an attack just an assessment from my vantage point].

    I'll own up to that here. Actually, I just don't think an Internet message board, any board, is important enough in life to get that worked up over (athough I probably let it happen from time to time).

    Appreciate the analysis, kikin. Pretty perceptive, really.

    I'm not that proficient with the English language myself. I'm a little too fond of run-on sentences when I write on any message board. And I'll sometimes get my "synapses crossed" when writing, for example: their, there or they're...

    But I am curious as to why so many people use "then" instead of the correct "than" when making a comparison. OTOH, I can understand why you have to think for a little while before writing "affect" or "effect."

    And then there are the exceptions to the spelling rules in English:"i before e except after c" isn't going to help you spell either "their" or "weird" as they are spelled in a good dictionary.

    Thank you for posting this!

    I don't mind typos, hell, I make them all the time. It's the ignorant butchering of the language that gets me. Loose-lose is one of the more common things you see on message boards, but there are TONS more and they all make me think that no one reads anymore to know how to properly use/spell certain things.

    "for all intensive purposes" NO NO NO...it's "for all intents and purposes."

    "Could of had/been/etc" NO NO NO...it's "Could have had/been/etc"

    The last one especially makes me NUTS! DON'T DO THAT PEOPLE!!

    That bugs me too and so many people do it! I'm kind of anal about spelling and spelling errors bug me. Another one of my pet peeves is when people say definately instead of definitely-that's another common one.

    I have been so short of sleep and time these days that I have caught myself in innumerable, really stupid spelling errors and typos here (Christ, I just typed "arrors'--see what I mean!).

    But what I find most amusing is when it's the people with the really grandiose titles, avatars, links to self-glorifying websites, etc., that write like f*cking retards, lol...
