When sending out the message I got this comment from Peter Miller peter@innovatewell.com :

“HI Kiran,

I need you to know that apostrophes are not plural, they are possessive. So you wouldn’t say CD’s you would simply say CDs. An example: you may say “the CD’s case is sent out to the distributors now” , meaning the case that belongs to the CD, but you cannot say there are many CD’s. This is punctuation incorrect. In the plural it is just simply “the CDs are sent out to the distributors now”

Kiran’s comment : It took me almost 2 years to come to version 6 because my abundance of ideas was hard to turn into computer code – it took me by now 354 updates of the 6 betabuilt’s (I am not sure about the apostrophe here – neither is my spell checker) to come to a somewhat stable version – because computers hang- up they freeze when only a comma or apostrophe is missing or wrongly placed

For humans to be concerned about apostrophes and spelling  is an expression of our cultures contemporary over -function of the left brain – which is the reason for so much autism –   http://www.informationenergymedicine-academy.com/category/categories-of-informational-diseases/autism/ – so over concern with spelling and details – with cleanliness and being proper is a serious health-risk  certainly more then our mothers have thought us – that is one reason why I have moved to Brazil – this virus is invading here as well – but only about 1 % of the population speak any english at all

WARNING : Version 6 may contain more  - spelling challenges than are digestible for your left brain – for sure its use is contraindicated for minors still learning proper spelling  - if serious side-effects of the use of 6 already have occurred I recommend as an acute remedy to come to Brazil

Hey Kiran,

I’m not too serious about it. Though I do notice that over the past 20 years the understanding of English has been lost. Interestingly I have friends in Germany and they learn better and more accurate English in their schools than Australian kids do.

No worries though.

Peter.

Yes Germany is worse in this respect

the dictionary is no 1 in the bestsellers since ever

this culture almost destroyed me – classified me a dyslexic

and I know the essence of a language is not lost by loosing proper spelling

but by over-focus on it

For example the Australians are completely unaware that they say “no-worries”

in almost every sentence – because the worry more then most other nations

start to worry about your attitude to language

Kiran

Well I have to move on from spelling shit. I am sorry for making you wrong! In fact I love what you are doing and I look forward to your emails.

All the best,

Peter

yes I am happy you could change your attitude to “spelling” so quickly – yesterday – you even took the time to point out a wrong apostrophe and now you call it “spelling shit” – this is how we should use any challenge

fixed rules need to be turned into DLE
