WARRANTY

Seriously... how difficult is it to spell check?

Does anyone proof read anymore?

I guess I don't understand.
Warranty passes my spell checker.

Is warranty not a correct spelling?

Most browsers will do spell check for you but they have limitations. I realize some participants here say it is no big deal but putting some effort into writing correctly is important to me. If you cannot distinguish simple spelling mistakes and make corrections you must not really care much about what you are saying. Some will take issue with this point of view but like it or not being able to communicate well in written form has immense benefits in the real world. All of us will occasionally make an error we miss when writing and that is not the issue. Constantly abusing the language in written form will get you written off as uneducated, and not someone to take seriously. Just my opinion.

She tells me, I use way too many commas,,,,,,,,,,,,,, BTW.

Yup - that one, drives me, nuts. A comma means pause - sometimes it takes way too long to read a sentence with lots of commas because I naturally pause while reading them.

But my favorite is Opps. It is Oops - 2 Os make the oo sound, not 2 Ps. :)

I agree that most errors in spelling are a bit lazy...that said, I would think that a lot of the errors are simply the fact that some people just have difficulty with the letters on the keyboard. This finger want to hit a certain lettered key first, putting the correct letters out of place. I know...I know, you SHOULD proof read, but come on... don't crucify. My dad (at the age of 77) is lucky if he remembers how to spell my first name. It doesn't make him an idiot, just an old guy who has better things to think about, I suppose. I would much rather read misspelled words of someone who can teach me something, than the perfectly spelled manuscript of a bunch of bull sh* t.

x2. Lots of time I have red underlined words all over my post.

My favs though are;

I weighted my truck.
I want to sale my RV.

BUT THE WORST OF ALL IS WHEN PEOPLE USE THE BIG LETTERS WHEN THEY POST AND NEVER USE PERIODS OR COMMAS

That would be "proofread" and yes, some still do.

Scottiemom, a retired high school, vocational, business and computer applications teacher, is my primary spell-checker. I usually ask her if it doesn't look quite right. Any misspellings in a business letter was an "F", the same as it was, when she was in high school.

She tells me, I use way too many commas,,,,,,,,,,,,,, BTW.

There instead of their or their instead of there. Also for me breaks instead of brakes seems pretty simple.

My sentiments exactly!
However, I still occasionally make misteaks. But, when I read what I have written, I usually find the errors and correct them BEFORE clicking "Post Message".
Unless, Of course, the mistake was deliberate...
