Slade,
I know you have got it from both sides on the spelling. LOL Some are a little more blunt than others, and some like myself, will try to lighten up the situation with some humor. BUT proper spelling, grammer and terminoligy are important things in this line of work. NONE of us are beyond spelling mistakes, I am daily living proof of this. :-)
As for the MT and PT you have received some good advice on this. Giving your general location may bring more advice to the surface.
Best of luck,
