You obviously have more than a few problems. From the reaction of the list
to your posting, either everyone else is wrong, or you are. I'm guessing
you can't admit when you're wrong.

You also seem to have a need to make yourself feel bigger, better, quicker,
etc. by finding trite examples of other people's errors.

If you've spent any time on these lists at all, or in public for that
matter, you know that there are plenty out there who don't have the benefit
of the education that some others have had. However, they are trying.
Regardless of the language they use - be it grammatically correct, spelled
properly or otherwise, they are just as entitled as anyone else to post,
research and query.

As a matter of fact, I'm sure they are improving their skills - both
genealogy and language skills - by posting, reading and researching.

If you know much about genealogy, you know that to trust anyone's
information without viewing the sources yourself is taking too much for
granted. You would also know that anyone who checked, would find in any
further records, that there is only one county in MD with a spelling even
close to Worcester, and those who have misspelled it would find out very
quickly what the proper spelling is.

If you have such a grand concern over other's opinions of genealogist,
perhaps you should focus more on the foot you put forward yourself, and let
everyone else worry about their own reputations.

Spend more time on your manners. People will take more notice of that than
your desire to win a spelling bee as an adult.

It's quite sad that you can't spell "your".
