Yah, I guess. Most of us write these in a hurry without much editing and the grammar is often not perfect. Writing posts here makes me realize how much I've come to rely on spellcheckers. There were other errors I overlooked, after all you can find all kinds of mistakes in my posts too. It's just that that particular repeated mistake really bugged me for some reason.
I tend to over analyse things at times, so bear with me, but previous to the post by JS in this thread I read that same elementary mistake in another post by him and in the one by Come And See on the Dr. Phil website. In that post, which is linked to in a post on the GenX board, Come And See makes the preposterous claim that children in TF learn how to learn. Most, if not all, the adults lack that particular skill because it requires critical thinking with an open, inquiring mind free to question authority, received wisdom, etc. It is doubtful many children do actually learn how to learn in that environment.
