I agree! Bad spelling is kind of frustrating. I have to admit I'm occasionally lazy when it comes to capitalization, but... whooole different ballgame. Spelling is very important.  ~Blacksunshine  |

Storm Chaser you can't imagine how strongly I feel about this. I'm totally with you. When I text, I spell my words out but I have a QWERTY keyboard on my phone so it makes it easier. When I had a regular cell phone, I abbreviated. When I am typing something online for the public to see, I check my spelling. I was state UIL spelling champion for SIX years running, ever since I was old enough to compete. I realize typos happen, but just not making the effort to punctuate, spell, and use proper grammar really irritates me. And my number one spelling pet peeve? "Inconvenience"...such as when stores are under construction, out of a product or whatever, they will write it "sorry for inconvience" every time. I've been known to take a marker out of my purse and change the sign LOL Good post!  |

bad spelling is a big pet peeve of mine. grammar I don't really care about...we're not all english majors..I don't know when it's who or whom...I just learned recently when to say "her and I" and when it's "me and her"...but when you have to desypher an entire post because it's, "i no..me 2..wut do u thnk bout it?", it drives me CRAZY.  |

@}~~ You all make me laugh. Having worked in a school I was shocked recently when I was checking the "state tests" and noticed spelling was not graded. It is no wonder children today can't spell, the state does not require it. I remember when my boys were in school study time for spelling seemed to take forever, now if you ask a child "How long do you study for spelling?" they look at you as if you are crazy.  |

LOL, I made a post like this back in my college days....so it's not just you and your "age!" I've been known as the human spellcheck. I'm not kidding...I have friends actually call me in the middle of the day and say, "how do you spell......" I'm pretty picky about my spelling...if I make a typo it drives me crazy!!  |

My brother-in-law is a retired school teacher and his spelling is just bad, and yes, grammer should be important, one can be seen as an idiot by the way they compose and write, even a simple post, this is America and our first and primary language is English, anything else is alien, so be proud of your language, learn to use it properly, there is nothing more beautiful.  |

I hate it when people type like that on the internet! I admit I do type like "u, r, idk" etc when I'm texting just because it's faster and easier but there's no need for on here!  |

I'm a firm believer George encourages bad spelling on this site so that he can feel better about his horrid spelling.  |

I agree with you hun..although I heard on TV last night over here in Australia, and it came from very well educated men, that far too much emphasis is placed on spelling. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, but yes, as long as it looks similar to the actual word it should be sufficient is what they were saying.  |

I never mind the mispellings because not everyone is a great speller, so I just overlook it. Sometimes when I'm typing too fast and my fingers are flying I make errors, too. LOL! And, some are real doozies.  |

Radman, that was hard to read and I appreciated Chaser's translation! I used sms speak for the phone but I don't use it for longer writings. I find it incredibly hard to read on a post, for instance. As for spelling, well, I understand we can all get the odd thing mixed up, letters transposed, homophones, etc but as long as the majority of the message is fine, I can see what people are intending to convey. I think if text speak dominates a lengthy message it's down to laziness or it is littered in errors, then there's a problem somewhere.  |

I've struggled with spelling all my life. I'm just not good at it. I love spell checker and it's made quite an improvement in the readability of my writing. Without it, I type too fast then don't see my mistakes. Bad Spellers Of the World Untie!  |

LOL, I know how you feel. Once, I was in a forum, reading comments, everything was ok, until I found a comment, were the poster abbreviated (sp?) everything, like some people do when sending a text message. It took me a while to understand what it said.  |
