| Hey all,
It’s fantastic to see all the new members we’ve added recently, but it seems that the time has come for a friendly reminder on posting etiquette. There have been several posts lately that have been almost completely unreadable due to a lack of proper grammar and little punctuation, if any. Spelling mistakes are generally excusable given the ease of posting from smart phones and the complexities of autocorrect, but bear in mind that this is an international forum, and we do have several members with limited proficiency in English. We want all our members to be able to share information and be able learn from our vast pool of knowledge, and careless or poorly constructed posts will make it all but impossible for some members to participate.
Therefore, please take a few minutes when writing your responses to make sure they are coherent, properly punctuated, and generally spelled correctly. However, more than anything else, please DO NOT use text speak. We want this forum to remain a friendly and professional setting to share information, so we ask that you please present yourself as such.
Thank you! _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword.

| Thanks Meredith! I know I make typos (usually on my droid), but sometimes I feel like I am reading hieroglyphics. |

Nice reminder, Meredith!
Tis now unless the grammar nazis attack me for it.  butchery [ˈbʊtʃərɪ] n pl -eries 1. the business or work of a butcher 2. wanton and indiscriminate slaughter; carnage 3. (Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Agriculture) a less common word for slaughterhouse You're good to go, Len.
