Lightening or lightning?



I do know the difference, lightening is to make something lighter,  a load or color of fabric or hair or such, cheer up, refresh, alleviate etc.
While “lightning is a sudden electrostatic discharge during an electrical storm between electrically charged regions of a cloud (called intra-cloud or IC)”; thanks Wikipedia + my own brain, ha.

So what possesses me to be so grammatically incorrect on a too regular basis?
There is no grammatical word correct on my blogger page where I have been writing when on my notebook, only abc for spelling, which we all know that does not pick up on similar words used improperly, in other words just spelling counts.

And here’s the rub, as long as I spell words correctly it gives me a pass.
Sure at this point in my life and writings so voraciously I should know better than I do.
It does appear that I do, but at times way too late, months or weeks later, even one time years later I did go back and correct a BIG mistake!
Sadly, if I do not appear to know when I publish of course it is mine, and only my responsibility.
Let’s face the “hack” name for my type of writing is right on target!
Although, if I was a pro getting paid I might have an editor, so many writer’s, that are or were famous have been on occasion grammatically challenged so many you would be shocked there are some that are Dyslexic or have other learning difficulties, imagine how much fun his/her word program or editor had with his/her endeavors, and they were/are so successfully published!
Agatha Christie and Stephen J. Cannell just to name two; twenty-five are listed at the site/link above.

I’m not making excuses, and don’t think for one minute I believe that I am in either of those incredible people’s league, but since I am no where near them, cut me some slack please and I will try and be more careful, okay?

And no I have never been diagnosed with any learning disorders, except perhaps admitting I goofed sooner or maybe no one noticed I had one? I do know that MS has an affect on cognitive issues.

On that note of once again not happy with my own writing and thankful none of you outright say anything, how polite of all of you really, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know whom and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

PS This was for all you grammar Nazis out there! Be kind to the lesser than you.
