Welcome to the site.

Most likely his tail is nipped and healed. Not a big deal.
And just a heads up, if you type something and there's a red wiggly line under it, it means it's spelled wrong.

Is that really the only "problom" you found?
I'm not a professor, but spelling correctly is very important. Particularly on a forum where words are the only thing you have to let people know who you are.

With all due respect,
Not only AMERICANS speak English and in any English speaking country, you should be able to spell correctly by the time you finish elementary school, and not go to college for that. :shock:
English is not my first language either by the way, but i could understand if the person was from a different country.
I'm not making "fun" of anybody. If anything I'm motivating the person to not sound like a 5 year old.

Your attitude is exactly the reason why this person (and many other young people) put no effort in spelling correctly.....No one cares to correct them!
