What also might help is just typing each post into MS Word. It`ll help you with punctuation. I can make sense of most spelling errors easy enough, if I have context to go on. For instance, I knew you weren`t really asking if Craig was from a different plant. The hard part is trying to figure out how to read a statement. Punctuation helps all the stresses and sentence flow fall together. 

For example:
I knew that Homer Simpson would cause a disaster that evening because I watch The Simpsons so often.

Did I mean:
I knew that Homer Simpson would cause a disaster this evening, because I watch The Simpsons so often. In this sentence I know that Homer is causing a disaster. I know it because I watch The Simpsons often. Homer is at fault, and I know it because I watch regularly.

Did I mean:
I knew that Homer Simpson would cause a disaster that evening because I watch The Simpsons so often. In this sentence the disaster Homer is going to cause is a result of my watching The Simpsons so much. I`m at fault, and I know it.

Sentences change wildly in meaning depending on how you punctuate them. Every little bone you can throw a reader in properly interpreting your thoughts will help us better respect your opinion.
