It just amazes me that so many people don't take the time to make sure their profiles look like they are SOMEWHAT edgumacated <wink>; if someone presents him/herself looking like they cannot express themselves in their native language (was that grammatically correct???) who would want to initiate a conversation with them? Of course I'm only talking about English speaking people, the errors the furrners make is usually quite charming LMAO... oops, "foreigners"!

...And sometimes we leave errors there to give you perfectionists a rise, LOL; really though, some days I see a small error, I make an effort and refuse to obsess about it, and try to leave it if it's not a big deal...
I'm kidding for the most part, but there is an obvious error in my profile (misspelled girLfriend), but last time I updated it, it was a week before it showed up again, so I decided I can live with the misspelled word. As for correct punctuation, fohgettabout it... Best I hope for is to type as fast as I'm thinking so that the reader gets what passed through my brain, because more than once I've read my post a day later, and said "say what?", and editted.. M

I learned this silly little ditty when I was young and it springs to mind once in while, might help, might hinder... do with it what you will.

Oh, and as far as the poll goes, I am lazy, I am blonde, and I am a theatre major, not a theater major... there is a difference .

I am no saint, I am sure that I make errors but I do not profess to be an English Major either. I can tolerate some things when it comes to grammar and spelling if it is clear that someone is really trying and not just being a lazy twit.

I will use Internet shorthand when chatting e.g. BRB, or LOL but I will do my best to spell out everything else the way it is supposed to be done. It is a huge turn-off when I see that someone uses u or 2 for you and to.

So, while I am not a grammar or spelling Nazi I would say that I am careful not to make a complete ass out of myself.

Must have something to do with being raised by an English teacher for a Mom and a Marine DI / Debate coach for a Dad.

Though I do enjoy twisting my Mother a bit with my phrase "Used to be I couldn't spell gradiate, now I are one"

Get's me 'The LOOK' every time!

Status: offline 		I used to really upset a number of my US friends with some of my spelling until I reminded them that depending on which computer I’m using, they’re set to either UK English OR Australian English and thus the “errors” which people were having friendly hissy-fits about were in fact correct. Generally I compose posts in word and then cut and post. Knowing I have a very minor form of dyslexia, which presents itself when posting into wee box thingies, made me start using word, besides which I can then use the Dragon voice recognition system which I use for my studies and thesis.

I still love using terms like “Edumication” and “Tanfastic”

Status: offline 		I meant to say, you're right, that has to be the stupidest spelling rule. Just look at all the exceptions I can think of right off the top of my head:

sleigh
neigh
weigh (and words like weight, weighing, etc.)
rein
reign
skein
deign
weir
weird
heinous
protein
lutein (and there has to be dozens of -ein words)
feisty
either
neither

And that's not counting words like reinvent, reinvest, etc.

Edited to add: Just thought of yet another one--caffeine.

Edited to add again: And another--heist.

Status: offline 		what about accenting a particular word in a sentence.... can change the entire meaning of the sentence....

"I" think you're right.

I "think" you're right.

I think "you're" right.
