[Vision2020] Grammar

[Tami Stinebaugh]

I agree with Tom.  Content is more important in a forum such as vision 2020.  I find it somewhat embarrassing when one person corrects another on the list.  It seems inappropriate and uncalled for.  Alot of posts are written spur of the moment, or in a heated debate and therefore aren't always grammatically correct, but we still get the point.  In my opinion, if a person must correct another, it should be done privately.
