I'm with EWR on this one. It surprises me how many college educated people choose to spell as if they never advanced beyond third grade. Someone spent mucho dinero for that sheepskin, don't let it go to waste.

Im not trying to be a grammar nazi. I don't mind poor spelling. The only thing on APC that is a spurise is the following....

Let me give you some ADVICE on the subject. Not ADVISE, but advice. There is a difference. Please refer to the example below.

Any ADVICE on applying for netjets?

ADVISE on initial contact you have information zulu.

But what if I "could" care less.? I just don't feel like doing it right now. And maybe I'll wind up caring more, or I'll care less, but later.

Take care.
