Well, first I want to know who those two (so far) people are who consider their grammar and spelling impeccable? I would like to bow at their feet. I did not go that far but I think I'm pretty literate(I responded "better than most," but I did once tell a magazine editor that if the computer's grammar check disagreed with my copy editing, she should believe me over it).
Second, why am I the only one who is not blind and doesn't care how badly others spell? After all, the more poor spellers there are in the world, the better it makes me look! LOL, just kidding. I threw that in there just to be ornery.
The XM question? I'm an other; I prefer to hear what surrounds me--sounds of rain, traffic, voices, birds, etc.
I will comment that honestly, until I joined the SP list, with so many blind people on it, I had never seen so much phonetic spelling. It surprised me at first, but not so much now.
Anyway, cool poll. I love grammar, spelling, words...
