Absolutely. Taking care puts you miles ahead of the average
(unfortunately for the average). I was home educated, and taught to
value correctness, so I tend to speak and write more carefully than
most do (people say I sound British for some reason - my accent
doesn't sound Australian). That's why I tend to do a lot (note, not
"alot", though the cute drawings are fun) of copyediting.

Thanks! I'm just a guy who types fast, mainly; but I've been coding
for about twenty years, and I'm always happy to help people. But this
list is more for me to learn than for me to share. I've learned no end
of things from these threads - it's awesome!
