I find commas rather interesting... E.g. Let's eat Grandma. Let's eat, Grandma. Uh-oh this is "Panda goes into a bar and eats shoots and leaves" territory. Put the commas in where ever you like.

I've also been a teacher and never seem to get over that part of being a teacher. Bad spelling tends to really irritate me. I try to not pay heed to it, but I can't seem to find the off switch.

I try to be tolerant but I draw the line at school newsletters with spelling mistakes.

I'm the first to admit that i make some mistakes.it seems easier to spot errors from others,rather than my own. I do read a lot,so i suppose that helps ? As a result,and as far as online dating goes,my attraction to someone is much greater if they are literate....

So I got a message from a guy who seemed nice...I guess...I don't know since I could not understand a word of his message. I asked him if he was from the US and he said yes. He was talking a lot of gibberish...really bad misspellings and words that made no sense. Anyway, just wondering if I am the only one that this is a turn off for. I like someone who can spell wear :) .. bEcAuSe oF pAsT ExPeRiEnCeS i FiNd iT hArD tO tRuSt PeOpLe.. i LoVe CuDdLiNg.. wErE nOt iN HiGh sChOoL aNyMoRe sO LeAvE tHe dRaMa BeHiNd.. sTaRbUcKs iS mY PiCk mE uP.. ii LoVe SpRiNg & sUmMeR.. i LoVe hAuNtEd hOuSeS.. i hAvE fUn WiTh eVErYtHiNg i dO.. i LoVe hAnGiN’ oUt WiTh fRiEnDs.. i LiKe tO dReSs~uP aNd LoOk cUte bUt tHeRe aRe sOmE dAyS wHeRe i dOnT GiVe a ***.. i LoVe rAnDoMnEsS.. i LoVe tO dO cRaZy aNd sPoNtAnEoUs tHiNgS.. iiF yOu WaNt To KnOw AnYtHiiNg eLsE, JuSt AsK mE! bUt yEa..tHaTs iT! bYeS! ::.

Proper spelling can mean the difference between a good conversation, and getting blocked. God, this made me

Apperently, King Richard the 3rd's last words were, "' My Kingdom For A Hores !'" (At Least, I Think That's What He Said) . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . Now, the 'H' isn't always pronounced in Old English.

Maybe, he just wanted to feel good. And watch those legs go straight up.

Yes, Phonics were never my strong point in school. You have my complete empathy, RockGnome.
