Well I dont think you should be critisizing people on their spelling skills on the INTERNET... stop using abreviations, okay like w/e b/c that bothers me too lol

sorry i didn't if there were post of this nature b4, i'm a so-so new. it's just i try to help people but sometimes w/ their writing skills, or lack of, it's hard for me to read so i just stop and move along, that's all.

i don't mind people using b/c or w/e. i mean like misspelling words that shouldn't be, for instance, dai=day, that sorta thing. it just that it's not all that much work to spell simply words correctly.

It doesn't really bug me, but whatever, I'm wierd

I think its a tragedy that a very large amount of people here do not know how to spell at the teenage. I think its also a combination of lacking vocabulary skills and failure to proof read that brings these forums downhill. I generally ignore it, but it is sad to see a 16 and 17 year olds who have worse vocabulary and spelling skills then my 5 year old sister.



adn tahts all i have to sat.



big love

I think I know what you mean about the spelling thing, especialy when it comes to the people who -purposely- misspell stuff [dai].



And then of corse, you get people like me, who are a product of a lacking border community school system, and never learned to spell well, and probably have mild dyslexia ontop of that. Sorry about that =P



You really just have to try and ignore it.

If i see a post with words misspelled purposely or just plain ignorance (like spelling "like" wrong), or do the alternate capitol letters, I skip the entire post, and sometimes the topic. I misspell words myself, but i do it occasionally and accedently. We are all human, and we all have to put up with this in our own way

I dont care how people type as long as i can figure out what they are saying...one time someone typed so badly that i had no idea what they were trying to say...and i said something about it to them...but other than that just live w/ it because people arent going to read your post and be like "oh yea i guess i should type correctly now that this person has lectured ..." common get a clue.

Well, to be fair, it does get annoying when a 15 year old shows the spelling skills of a sixth-grader. A typo here and there is to be expected, but when you have to concentrate to piece together some jargon a near-illiterate teen has written you have a right to be angry.

[daffodildreams]

some people can't help it!



sheesh. i think there are more important things to be worrying about around here!!!!!!

Anyway, yes it does get annoying after a while....



And, yes, I was being sarcastic in my first post. Eesh.
