I would like to clear up the terminology used among those who vape. A vapor is the cloud of vaporized e-liquid heated by the coil. A Vaper is the person who vapes. The issue with this is that if we as a community should speak or write intelligently on this subject, we should all agree to our patterns of speech. I understand that to many people this will appear like a waste of time but we are at a time in which t's must be crossed and i's dotted. If we can't convince others that vaping is a healthier choice, we will be spending $50 for 15ml of juice and hundreds of dollars for gear. Some of us already spend exorbitant amounts of money already but I for one want the choice, not because some bureaucrat decided it for me. I've said my piece so have at me but I just got tired of people writing "I'm a vapor who likes tasty vapers".

I agree heartily with the OP. We really need to watch our grammar and spelling when communicating with those who want to restrict our options. We are all intelligent enough to know that vaping is much better for us than smoking, and has helped many smokers to become ex-smokers. It really helps convey this to the "powers that be" if we use proper grammar and spelling. We do not want to come off as illiterate "nobodies" who do not know what we are talking about.

For the record, I am 65, and went through the Catholic school system from Kindergarten through high school. I did not see my first "lay" teacher (non-religious) until I got to high school. Proper grammar, sentence structure, and spelling were stressed in all subjects taught. I am retired now. When I was working, I had letters that I was requested to write to various clients sent back to me for correction because I "sounded too much like a lawyer". I can't help it. Between my education, and the fact that my first job was in a law office, I do tend to come off as more "impersonal" than I intend.

Bottom line - please use "spell check" and "grammar check" before communicating with government/health officials. It may help us to get our point across better.
