I'm tired of those who are perpetually offended if they simply do not agree with another person's opinion. Is there an app for that?

CW4 (Join to see) I will have to say that the past two days I have not expressed myself well. I actually hate it when someone corrects "your" to "you're", etc. I just meant that "It appears that the majority of people seem to be offended by everything".
Therefore, I have updated my original comment to clarify what I was trying to express.
Thank you for noting that my original statement was properly written. That isn't always the case. :)

That's point of this media to be able to voice your opinions and concerns about popular or current military statuses. I don't really care what someone has to say you either like it or not. Don't attack them because you don't like their opinion, it's an honest opinion.

Before posting a question on Rally Point, open MS Word (2010) on your computer. Ensure you make the following proofing changes:
-Click File, Options, Select Proofing from left column options
-Under the heading "When correcting spelling in Microsoft Office Programs" check the first 4 boxes
-Under the heading "When correcting spelling and grammar in Word" check the first 4 boxes, for Writing Style select Grammar & Style, then select Writing Style Settings and select the following:
-Comma required: Always
-Punctuation required with quotes: Always
-Spaces required between sentences: 2
-Check EVERY BOX, then click OK
Click OK again
Now your MS Word will alert you when you fail to write in a moderately educated fashion. This will allow your readers to concentrate on the subject of your post and not your lack of education or lack of attention to detail. Once you are happy with the outcome of your writing, copy and paste it in Rally Point with confidence that your point will be made. If you don't have MS Office 2010, google "MS Word Proofing" for whatever version you have and it will walk you through similar steps.

PO2 Steven Erickson - I was taught to double space after the end of a sentence. That's what I'll continue to use forever regardless of what the PC types say.

As an old TTY operator, you always did a double CR at the end of a sentence. Still do it on occasion on my PC.
