vauge said:You rock! Thanks, it's been corrected.
That's true...vauge said:Hehe, I am not the worlds best speller. I would be lost without the spell check feature.
Comrade Brian said:I noticed under the Political Platforms Forum a mispelling it says:
"This politics forum is to discuss the specific platforms, ideas and directions of the many poliitcal parties.

aps said:LOL Many people misspell this word. The political word was clearly a typo.
I am a perfectionist when it comes to spelling. I have been like this since elementary school.
I dated a guy whose spelling was so bad (he would get "were" and "where" mixed up. He would call me princes (but he would mean princess)), that I was turned off by him. Is that superficial, or what? There were other things too, but that didn't help.
Stace said:Oh, I feel your pain.....I want to bash my husband over the head when he does stuff like use "your" when he means "you're"....but he wants to bash me over the head when I attempt to correct him, so I try to keep my mouth shut 'cause I do love the nut, but sometimes, a girl can only take so much!
aps said:LOL Stace, that has always been a pet peeve of mine (spelling), and it's the same way with speaking. My husband is a great speller but grew up hearing his mother say, "I haven't ate all day." So he would say that too. :shock:
The "your" thing happens all the time. In my more obnoxious days on here, I would point it out to a poster. I also notice that people don't know the difference between their and there. :lol:

Stace said:Well, for all intents and purposes, spelling doesn't matter....
But that's something of an eyesore, even if I can read it and comprehend what it's saying.
Conflict said:There are people out there with dyslexia and perhaps they might make sense to themself. I happen to be quite the iconoclast when defending the human nature. Was this an actual source or a hypothetical presentation? THere are situation and circumstances in which people do have types of linguistic disorders... but actually do hold a valid interpretation of words in a consentual semantic sense.
Conflict said:If you think dyslexia is an issue you should hear my Soviet diatribe when I drink Vodka! Oh man I have issues!:rofl
Stace said:You and vodka....well, at least I know what NOT to send you for Christmas :2razz:
MrFungus420 said:A good friend of mine is dyslexic. He told me that growing up he was terrified of Christmas...he was afraid that Satan's Claws would come down the chimney to get him...
That's not so bad...MrFungus420 said:A good friend of mine is dyslexic. He told me that growing up he was terrified of Christmas...he was afraid that Satan's Claws would come down the chimney to get him...
The irony...vauge said:Way back when, it was very common here to denounce a claim based on someone's spelling and grammer. I am very glad this is not so popular anymore. It was annoying! Again, I can't spell worth a flip. But hopefully it is good enough to get my points across.
Spelling or grammer doesn't bother me (obviously).
l33t speak, however, makes me want to ban them Johnny on the spot! Then I calmly hold back the urge and ask them politely to refrain. :rofl
