Spelling lessons

[Buddha 3]

You have to remember though, we were all young once !!

Even when I was a teenager, my spelling and grammar were good. It's got nothing to do with age, but rather with current standards and values.

I know my spelling's bad, mainly because there's a soupcon of dsylexia in my genes and I darn't download the spell checker at work. Personally think that things like spelling aren't that important as long as the post is understandable.

If your bad spelling (your words) resemble the standard of the post quoted above, you haven't got anything to worry about at all.

I don't think we need any more reasons preventing new people coming into the sport.

I agree completely, however there needs to be a a mutual respect. Most people just need telling nicely about their spelling, I've done it on a few occasions.It just needs a "you'll find people on here will respond better if you have a good attempt at spelling as best as you can. Otherwise people will skip over your posts." Rather than a full on grammar-attack. And that only needs to come from one person in the thread. If the member ignores it or comes up with a stupid aggressive answer, then go nuts until I Cook$'s Law it. If they make an effort or take it under advice, that's great, that's the sort of people we want here. It's all a question of tact.

I don't know why I'm telling you guys, you're among the good guys.

I dont agree with it to be honest i dont like text speak but thats not due to bad spelling its being lazy - There is a guy on my team who wont come on these forums as he is dyslexic and he got shot down in flames by members taking the pi$$ out of him. Most people on here know how to communicate properly and dont see it as a problem, I myself make alot of mistakes im sure as i cant be bothered to go back and read over posts checking for spelling mistakes.

Make your point if there are a few spelling mistakes so be it i dont see the need to be pointing it out if there are and certainly not to take the pi$$ out of someone who has because alot of it goes on here

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques for my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rarely ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
its letter perfect in it's weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.


Sauce unknown.

So Cook$'s Law people, you heard it here first.

Ninja Edit: I spelt Spelling wrong

Cook$'s law? No it should be Brannigan's law

 

[Missy-Q]

Cooks law huh?
You can put my name in the paper and even put a sign on my lawn if you like, I'm still going after the lazy spellers, especially the ones that claim to be dyslexic.

Hey, I don't mind if one person does it, it's just when everyone else joins in and the whole thread becomes another thread about spelling, that's what bores me.
