Who do you need help from? Webster next to your computer would be a start from there come in here. We are very helpful. Yes, there are certain people that will laugh but that means we are laughing with you not at you. I am assuming (which I probably shouldn't do) you are referring to the spelling thread. Well do you know that misspelled words will probably lose a seller some big dollars and a buyer jumping up and down. That thread wasn't started to make fun of anyone just to show that misspelled words can lead to a disaster for a seller.

basketman, I did not start that thread to make fun of anyone...there have been many times that I have posted an auction and then later hit myself in the head for a mistake I made.
when I have an item that I am not sure how to spell, I do a search on ebay until I find a few spelled the same way. Figure these people know what they are doing and spell it that way...
Libra is right on when she says you are costing yourself money...if collectors can't find your item, they can't bid on it.

You can make your post in MS Word and it will spell check it then cut and post it into the AW post message box.
I run all of my auction descriptions this way to look for spelling and grammatical errors before listing.
