<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: navy;">Our standard spelling, punctuation etc are in deed only a few
centuries old. So is the vast majority of our mathematical notation, and
all the rules of any modern sport or game. And all for the same reason:
as you reach or interact with more people with your ideas and concepts, the
more important it becomes that everyone follows what you are doing or
talking about.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: navy;">Thair is no reezun y u cahnt spel or rite wot u wont. The
problem is people spend more time looking at your idiosyncratic spelling,
grammar and punctuation than thinking about what you're trying to say
- assuming they can even work out what you are trying to say.
Which is fine if you're intended statement is "I am not bound by your
rules", but counterproductive if you are trying to get ideas across.</span></p>

(tenzij ze misschien héél ver weg in het zuidoosten wonen ;=)...misschien is
dat onze katholieke aard wel...maar...euh...heeft je spellingchecker (of is het
spellingschecker?) dat vijfde woord in je tweede zin opgemerkt?</span></p>

overcritische noorderling [als het om onze zuiderlingen gaat] liefdevol enkele
keren ben gaan tellen.<br>

PS: Deze fout lag dus niet aan mijn Lyme; want na zo'n 14000 euro daaraan
besteed te moeten hebben, zijn mijn hoofd en vingers weer redelijk normaal.
Dacht ik.<br>
PS2: Van onze zuiderlingen heb ik de laatste tijd begrepen dat sommigen daar
wel heeeel vergevingsgezind willen zijn.<br>
