I sent him a reply saying it was good to hear from him again. I don't really expect a reply since I didn't say anything that would require one.

Same here early yesterday except I specifically told him not to reply. He has not read it yet

Same here. But he might not be used to the message system used now instead of the older email system. I do have his old email address, but I don't want to let him think I am invading his privacy.

Maybe just a quick message, informing him there IS a new messaging system, rather than conveying any personal messages he'll think he needs to respond to.
Unless he has changed the default settings. He will receive at least one email notification from SOL and maybe even more, since I don't know if its one per message or just a notification of the new messages in total. But I will try it if he doesn't check his unread messages soon.
Several of his stories have ex-Marines as main characters. Worth reading again.

I've been told the correct term is Beached Marine.
Its ingrained into the Marine philosophy. Once a Marine always a Marine. I tend to think of it as once a Veteran always a veteran for anyone who has served in any military branch during active conflicts regardless of how it is named by the so-called PC groups. I admit I have no liking for any politician or policeman as such but that is due to my personal experience. I still love my country however.
Rotten to the corps.
I would be cautious about making jokes like that. Bear in mind that most of those most likely to be offended will own guns and know how to shoot straight.

Oh, I wasn't talking about the Marine Corps. Must have been the Signal Corps, or maybe the corps of engineers. Or I miss-spelled corpse. Is a marine corpse one floating in the water?
You misspelled miss-spelled, or alternatively, misspelt it. :-)
depends on the dictionary you use, doesn't it?

I very much doubt you can find any dictionary that spells it that way.

A lot of words started out as hyphenated, and miss-spelt is one, like co-ordinate, however, many have had the hyphen drop, but not every version of English accepts that yet.

Spelt is a grain. The growers sponsor a beauty contest, the winner becomes Miss Spelt.

Nice try. You might have got away with it if only your original mistake had been 'miss-spelt'.
I have no problem with the hyphen. I consider that unnecessary, but certainly acceptable.
It's the prefix which was wrong. The prefix meaning incorrectly is 'mis-', not 'miss-'.

Do you really think anyone will believe you thought you were telling me something I did not already know?
