If I slow down to think about grammar, sure. But a standard in nettiquette 
from WAAAY back is that you NEVER criticise grammar or spelling on lists.

Why? Because lists are the equivalent of water cooler talk. Not rehearsed 
public presentations to academia.

There are things I will say to certain audiences at certain times that I 
would NEVER consider saying at other times. As there are errors that I 
will make during smalltalk and spur-of-the-moment discussion that would be 
virtually inconceivable for me to make in a formal or rehearsed setting.
