[sdiy] OT: grammar, spelling and communication

[Tim Parkhurst]

Oh yes, my only intent was to list some examples so that people could learn.
I think the best thing about SDIY is the fact that I have learned so much
from this list. This was my chance to 'give back' a little (even though it
wasn't about synths). Grammar and spelling rules my be OT, but remember that
language is the tool we use to express our ideas, so improving our language
skills will only help us express ourselves better.

One more: 
"Your" implies ownership: "Your Minimoog is on fire, again."
"You're" is a contraction of "You" and "are." As is "You're a wild man!"
