No, of course I am not going to point out every spelling error (why did I
hear that one coming). But she had used the word numerous times (had it just
been that once or twice, I would have ignored it). I thought that it would
have been better to point it out to help (yes, help) her, since I'm sure she
will use that word again, as it has shown up in her posts so often.
Sorry I didn't think to tell her privately. I'll give you that one.
Kimber, if you're reading this, I hope you didn't take offense to what I
said, though if I did, I apologize a hundred times. I honestly did not mean
to "humiliate" you (if I even did), though some people seem to believe that
that was my motive.
My humble apologies,
Natalie
