I personally am throughly ashamed at these responses !!! This young girl came here for support and love... and yes, I at first was VERY mean to her. I didn't know she was 11 yrs. old and I appologized ! Lord help my grandson Nash when he posts here !!! With Down Syndrome at 16 he may post as a 10 year old !!! Chaz is a family ... we welcome ( I hope ) young and old and all in between...... Kity ... I guess you are the youngest and I am the oldest.... so high fives gal !!!!

I don't believe I was rude. No I DON'T believe she has 52 ponies. Her spelling and grammar isn't good. It's hard to read, and generally I just don't take the time to read posts with bad spelling and grammar because it takes so long. Like I said, it might just be her typing. I took a typing program for a little while helped me type correctly, fast, and spell things correctly. It helped a lot.
2pups622 it's just hard to read your posts.

I'm a bit surprised about the attitude on this thread as well- especially when people attack spelling, grammar and clarity, yet fail to master it themselves. It's fine to recommend spell check...but make sure you're using it as well! 
I admit I was being silly in the beginning, but I think it's gone beyond light hearted fun and turned into a somewhat mean-spirited attack on mastery of the written word- rather than JRTs.
That being said- I adore JRTs, (or rather, Parson Russel Terriers), although I'll probably never own one. Still, there's nothing quite so cute as the twinkle in the eye of one getting into mischief (which seems to be a full-time job for them!)

I'm sorry if my spelling is so bad !!!!
And I would like the names of all 52 ponies...please.
I think it would be more damaging to a child to let her continue communicating in broken sentences with mispelled words, and ignoring punctuation. Writing on these forums is a good opportunity to practice writing skills. She should be encouraged to stive for better. A few mistakes are understandable; no one is perfect. But accepting lazy writing only encourages sub-par writing. That won't help her at all in the long run.
