It is a reminder that using words right can save MUCH confusion among our many readers.

As opposed to using words left?  Or do you mean "using words in the right manner", or more concisely "using words correctly"?

I couldn't resist it . I don't apologize. My high-school band teacher used to say "if you were really sorry you wouldn't have done it".  Most of the time she was right.  We never did feel much remorse about sticking gum on the bottom side of our chairs.  We only felt remorse that somebody from 5th period didn't get the blame.

At some point one has to give up being a pedant and figure out the meaning from the context or ask for clarification.  In a forum of "many readers" and with significant exposure to countries where English is not the primary language, we will learn how to understand things that are not expressed in a conventional manner or we will lose patience with it all.  Patiently slogging through confusion rooted in poor use of the language is just a part communicating in a forum like this.

This cuts both ways...if you give a damn. 

(It doesn't cut at all if you don't give a damn.  Then you just roll your stool from the computer over to the workbench and pick up a soldering iron.  Everybody is happier.)
