Another point: those people who consider themselves good say at spelling are quite frequently shamelessly immodest about a somewhat mediocre achievement. Those who can do useful things say like sawing a piece of wood or metal accurateley are pleasingly modest about their undoubted skills.

Why is that I wonder ?


cos thats all they're good at?  I have issues with spelling too.  Honestly, i dont find it important enough to stress over in a forum.  I dont really care about all the grammatically correct bullshit that everyone feels the need to STRESS over.

i have much wierder things i like to stress over.  Tyvm.  I'm pretty sure people can "read" what i'm saying and thats what matters.  Not being the best or brightest or smartest or holy shitzu of the english class i am not in anymore.  This is not an english class.  If it was, i'd be typing in word.  This is a forum to express yourself in which every way you deem to express yourself.  If you desire to express yourself like a twit who cant spell - whose to say otherwise?

ooo fun fact.  My 8th grade English teacher taught us all the perfect way to kill some one and get away with it.  Crazy Cali ppl.

ohhhh.. we're all inept at something!  Might as well step up to the plate and say "i SUCK (but very well ty)"  Its ooookay to be inept.  Nobody is perfect.  While some may be genuis's at spelling and suck at sucking - some may suck at spelling but be great at sucking.

god only knows.  Onward to cherishing our talents!

I'm not the grammar or typo police by any means.  The to/too, they're/their/there, or your/you're when continually used wrong is a HUGE pet peeve.  It hurts, and not in a good way.

This is like, my favoritest thread ever.  Thanx.

They incorrectly spell a lot of words with "z" when it should be "s" too  (sorry twicehappy, couldn't help it)


Do you refer to netspeak? I refuse to consider that part of my nation's spelling culture. It's just a group of sad cheerleaders who inhaled way too much.

I actually laughed when someone suggested using search for help in the thread for humlation ideas.  I know they meant well, but I doubt that a search for humlation would find many hits.


I laughed so hard, too. I thought that a good humlation idea might be for someone to enter a spelling bee.

people have varying degrees of typing ability.


I type with one finger, ask Mistoferin; i had her rolling on the floor laughing at me that is not an excuse for poor spelling. I'm not talking about typos here (i've made those) i am talking about spelling and word usage errors that are so blatant there is no excuse.
