Well, Scott, I am not a native speaker, and I am not using an English
OS nor the keyboard layout I am used to. In fact, the OS and software
I use are almost without exception in a language I don't know, German.
I still care to run my posts through a spell-checker nonetheless. I am
not saying that I have to, or even that I should, only that I do.
Neither am I obliged to shave every morning before I go to work, but I
do so anyway. Nor is anyone making me call my boss (with whom we are
good friends) "Sir" when there are guests at the office. It all comes
down to respect and/or sloppiness.
