RE: [TCML] Matt tesla



Hi Matthew,

Three things come to mind:

First -- building a Tesla coil is something that requires mental focus and
time spent learning new (and sometimes difficult) things.
If you are not able to put your thoughts into cohesive English, how
successful are you going to be in building a working and efficient Tesla
coil? 

Second -- pretty much every email application has a built-in spell check.  I
use Outlook and I just have to position the cursor at the beginning of my
message (CTRL+Home key) and hit [F7].
If you are using a Windows web-based email system, do yourself a favor and
install ieSpell -- awesome free package.

Third -- this email list is very informal but there are places where formal
communications are a fact of life.  The more you practice this, the better
you will get and the more successful you will be in business or your work.
Yeah, I know that this is an artificial and arbitrary measurement but it is
what has been in place for the last 100+ years so deal... Learning to speak
and write English is probably the best thing you can do for yourself. It
directly translates into more money in your pocket at the end of the day.

Take care and have fun!
Dave
