Why I Haven't Posted

I joined 11 months ago and got as far as reading all the rules. I felt completely intimidated. (I got out my dictionary so I could spell intimidated.) I am 71. I think that this site is a very good idea, but someone is so into control that it will scare off a lot of people; me included. Bye the way, in rule number one, it should be "used" not "use ". I don't know if that is a spelling error or an error in grammar, or both. (Used dictionary to check spelling of grammar.) My eyesight is not the best; my hands are crippled with arthritis and my brain often takes a hiatus without notice. I will try downloading the spell checker again. I did it once, but while it is on the computer, is not usable when I need it. I am running Windows 7 on an HP laptop and have MSN dial-up. Lynne

 

Shouldn't that be:

By the way​

The word "bye" (with a trailing "e ") is used to express farewell . . . an abbreviation of "goodbye" and/or the baby-talk version "bye-bye ".

 

Hi Lynne, Welcome to WindowsBBS. Keep that dictionary handy - it proves you know how to use one.
Let's know if you have any problems and I'm sure that someone will endeavour to find an answer for you. Cheers Neil.

This is exactly the sort of thing that I was afraid of if I posted. So I was correct with the bye. Bye bye, Lynne
