Why?

awsomedog, I feel your pain I too suck at spelling.

I love this study, FYI spelling ability is not correlated to intelligence! And there is a twin study that indicates it is genetic It always makes me feel better when people feel they need to chime in about my spelling.

Then we can laugh equally loud at them. I love it!  It makes spelling bad worth doing just to give them something they can *really* take get worked up over. Bahahahaha

I always laugh at those who point out my spelling errors. 1. I already know my spelling sucks. 2. I types with two fingers 3. My grammer is also bad. 4. I don't even care enough to use spell check. Why? Because I actually have a life. I actually tend to concentrate on important things in life. So people (others than those who jest) who are fixated on someones spelling,  have some really bad tunnel vision.  And that! Is something they should worry about.

*reaches for that icepack again* []

Bad spelling and grammar do irritate me, mostly because I find it distracting and therefore hampering of good communication. And because I had it hammered into me until it WAS distracting to see obvious mistakes.

However, I will indeed survive and soldier on in my selfless, long-suffering way. [sm=beret.gif] Victim of bad spelling and grammar everywhere *sighs dramatically*. It will probably shorten my lifespan. When I'm on my death bed I'll be like, Awsomedog, or was it meant to be Awesomedog.... I'll never know!

*giggles* Okay, I'm sorry. Back on topic!

I don't personally feel for or against CM myself, which possibly makes it easier to hang out in this forum. I've only seen a few of his shows and I started reading his book Cesar's Way, but didn't get around to finishing it. To me, his biggest value is in that he makes me think. I see in his work moments when I think, hold on, why did that appear to work? And I see moments that make perfect sense to me. It's hard for me to understand this celebrity thing, too. When I was living in LA, I got to meet a lot of people that had done some really amazing work on the movie my boyfriend was working on. They were people whose names I didn't know and who I wouldn't recognise again if I saw them in the street, but all the same, I was genuinely impressed to meet one of the people that wrote the screenplay, and one of the people that made monsters, and someone who composed shots to fulfill needs they hadn't quite thought of yet. It was much more exciting than meeting the actors. I guess my point is, celebrity status in in the eye of the beholder. Some people just aren't impressed by a face on television, just like I expect plenty of people aren't impressed with someone who makes monsters for movies.

If you overlook the obvious mistakes it might make it easier to concentrate on posting[8D]

ROTFLMAO  Now that! is funny.

CM doesn't have a cultish following. Many people simply get value and some awareness from him. I defend him primarily because he is not the messiah or the anit-christ, just a guy doing what he knows how to do and happens to have a t.v. show to do it on.

That pretty much somes it up.

It would only seem cultlike and creepy if CM said his way was the "only" way and devoted entire website pages to self-rightously smearing another canine professional who used a different philosophy and/or methods.
 
CM's philosophy is just part of the whole. Operant conditioning (training) based primarily on positive reinforcement, has it's proper place too in the relationship between dog and owner depending on what you are trying to achieve with a particular dog in a given moment with that dog.

well said, both of you.
