I am HEAR to complain about those who like QUITE nights in front of the fire, don't like TO many tattoos, and spell every other word wrong on their profile.

Spellcheck will get you a much more intelligent set of responses! Literacy is sexy!

my 2 cents


bigsmile GOOD ONE BRO..


And I am NOT close to PERFECT in ANYway
So my spelling and my grammer need to always SHOW "ME",
So that I don't MIS-LEAD anyone about "THAT" fact...

No-one should be LOOKED DOWN AT, because they are not as "SMART" as "YOU" would like them to be.

We come here with ALL KINDS of indiffrences, and WE ALL LEARN,
through others as to What THEY can except and cannot except.

Me, I try not to EVER judge a stranger on anything, if THEY ARE "REAL" and seem to be GIVING ME, their TRUTH!:heart:

But I do hold people to BEING "REAL" on here!!
Hmm I wonder if you know spell check is two words? LOL:smile:

when you're typing something in your profile a red line will appear if something is misspelled and if you move the cursor on top of the word and right click it will give you a list of words that it thinks you are trying to use and you just pick the right one!....Ta da!....Sometimes though if the word is spelled too wrong then you have to keep trying with different combos until it gets the one you are really trying for....


This will only work if you have spellcheck (yes, the program is one word) enabled on your browser.

But it IS a rather handy device sometimes.

I'm pretty sure some people spell things wrong on purpose. It's the new thing with the kids.

Lyk how ar u? wats up dood?

Personally, I hate it. By typing things out correctly and coherently you can avoid misunderstandings. Since things like body language and expression can be lost in type, coherence is really important.

And besides, it's not a whole lot to ask.

I never claimed intelligence...but was merely voicing a concern and it ended up eliciting a tutorial on how this can be helped...I made my post a bit edgy to get more people into the conversation...wrong? maybe...but if 1 person is helped...it's all good (soft music plays...fade out)

If someone told me I had bad breath...I'd brush my teeth. I don't hate anyone...just getting a spelling forum charged up.

I've spent years as a writer/editor/proofreader, so I have a bias, sure....

But, in all honesty, it is truly refreshing to read a post where my eyes aren't being diverted to a mistake every three words.

Sorry, but communication is important to some of us, and communication (of the written variety) works more effectively if it's done properly.

I do (and this is entirely my own opinion and my own choice) tend to take a more postive view of someone who cares enough to get it right.

Just one opinion.
