Speeling rant

[Anonymous]

OK, I admit I'm in a foul mood today, but ...

* When you get sued by a creditor or CA and you lose, they get a JUDGMENT against you, not a judgement.  There's only one "e" in "judgment."

* If you want suggestions about what to do, you want some ADVICE or you want us TO ADVISE you.  You don't "need some advise."

* If you worry that something will lower your score, you are worrying about LOSING points, not "loosing" them.

Thanks for indulging my little spelling rant.  I'm glad we don't have the thread rating system open to everyone, because I'm sure someone would hit me with a 1.

As an editor, I must point out that "judgement" is also considered acceptable:

The rest of you're advise is spot-on, people really should learn there spelling, and their ain't no excuse to except such mistakes.

Our spelling misteaks result from posting too much.  The muscles in our fingers and hands are tired.

Judgement with two e's is acceptable, but is generally used in English law.  I think we're sticking to the jurisdictions of the U.S. when we're talking about public records that show up on (or get deleted from) credit reports.  

OK, I'll get off my grammar high horse now ...

Oh man ... you almost got it right. You even spelled "atrocious" correctly.  But your writing and grammar "are" (not "is"  ) atrocious.. but maybe you knew that ....

I knew it!  I knew you had something to do with books/novels/authoring, NewWorldMan!!!  An editor, huh?  You should be a writer --  SciFi, perhaps?
