Check your spelling and grammar please!

Hi Webmasters,
I see so many misspelled words and improper grammar on blogs that it sometimes gets to me. If we don't watch our spelling and grammar, people that don't know any better will read what we write and think that's the right way to do it!
Here are some examples from the REW blogs:
- Tail of a happy homeseller... (should be Tale)
- My families business... (should be family's)
- For sales decline... (what for? This doesn't make sense)
- Who need back links anyways! (A question should end with a question mark)
Please don't take this the wrong way. There is poor spelling and grammar all over the internet. I think most of us realtors have college degrees and consider ourselves professionals. Shouldn't we write like professionals?
If you go on a crusade to show me my own grammatical errors (and maybe spelling) you'll probably find something. I was not a whiz at English in college. Let's just try and do better, okay?
Aloha, Mike

Good post Mikey! I appologize in advance for my run on sentences - I've got the spelling down pretty good though.
ha! Great Post! It gets on my nerves as well... But not enough to make a post about it 
SEO Gerry would love this.
You know I am probably one of the worst for this as well, and I have a 9 person writing team with a senior editor who probably wants to kick my butt every time I touch my keyboard lol - It is a great reminder though, be sure to check out the common writing mistakes that make you look stupid thread http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/thread11382.html - it's also a good read
I will absolutely check my splelling and grammer from now on! LOL. Thanks for the post. Aloha, cousin Mike.
Thanks for the positive responses! In response to Indy's comment, at least with the blogs we can go back and make corrections after we've posted a new entry. Have a great Friday. I hope somebody is making sales! Aloha, Mike

Mike- This drives me crazy too, but I am probably guilty of this far more often than I even know. Sometimes I will forget to put a word in and when I re-read it, my brain just inserts it in there. People will judge you though if you constantly are misspelling words.
