In another post someone took issue with anothers spelling and gammar.

I'm not the best spiller and don't know enough about grandma so, before you judge someone else, please read this.....

If you undersatand what someone says, don't worry about the small stuff, just remember the message.

 

A very good point!!!
With my dyslexic fingers....... .......I'd be the last person to say anything.

 

That's a really cool study that's been around for a little while. Thanks for the reminder of what's important. I gotta fess up, I've been guilty of what you said in the past. Sorry to all, and thanks for the gentle reminder!

 

Not only are my fingers, my eyes are as well. Does i come before e or after. If it does not look right, blame it on my eyes/fingers.
But a very good point.
I read it just fine.

 

I have to admit, I usually get a little miffed when the grammar or spelling is off (and I know I'm not the best either) but I don't usually make it a point to have someone correct it.

I did have a little trouble reading the paragraph at first, but the further I got into it, the faster I was reading and by the end I would say it was almost fluent.

That was an interesting study.

 

Imagine my pain: I teach high school English/literature and college composition!

 

I can spell decent, my problem is I can't type. I can hunt and peck with the best of them though.

 

I can read it and understand. I think that's been posted on here before. The one thing I find ironic about really bad spelling on the internet is that every computer can spell check for you and obviously the person is using a computer. There is even a little tab with ABC and a check mark on the forum so you can spell check before you post. That being said I still screw up all the time. Sometimes I type a really fast response and then post. Then when I read my post I realized that I spelled something wrong, typed a couple of letters backwards, left out a word, or one of my sentences doesn't make any sense because I typed something, deleted it, and re-wrote it but left part of my previous sentence. My biggest pet peeve about forums is most people don't seem to understand the difference between allot and a lot so they make up the word alot. That F'in kills me. I can't believe so many people can't get that right!

 

Misspellings are just a way of life and don't bother me any at all. However, when proper grammar isn't used as well as punctuation, it makes post very difficult to understand, which can lead a lot of misunderstandings.

 

Eye am glad wee awl get thee point eye worse making. Buy the weigh, this all past spill check width flying colors.
