Learning how to spell or at least proof read your post.
Things to consider before you post.
Monday, January 28, 2008 by mschleisner | Discussion: Community
Don't post till you check your spelling. I know it might be difficult but why look like someone with a second grade education when you know you can do better. I think most just post and never look back to read what they have written first. Maybe you look after you post and think "oh no" did I really do that? Most miss-spelled words are just that, the person couldn't spell it, some are just silly as in the word wallpapers or problem, those look like someone who is frustrated but I think just re-reading your work is a must before you post. No one here might say anything but we do think it. There is no spell check for the posts here and I have been at other sites that have them and people seem to think they are too smart to use them. 
I would say to that, so sorry but your post didn't make the cut because you didn't spell check. Here there isn't that option so you must proof read your post first and if you are not sure of the spelling please look up the word first to make sure you look like someone took a little time to read before you post. I do this for my own sanity. I try very hard to make sure I at least try to spell it right before I post. I might not be the brightest bulb in the box but I don't want to look like the broken bulb either. Please just check before you post and save the people here from looking at these mistakes and try to use "Caps" where needed. Couldn't hurt. Thanks from someone who goes crazy when she views posts like this.

There's no such word as 'atleast' (you wrote that twice). 'At least' is two words 
Anyway, people who can't spell are just zubish

That is proof that even those who are educated are not always good at spelling, yes I made two mistakes and they were caught fast and I am glad. I was hoping for that really...I however did put in that I am not the brightest bulb in the box. I do not mind people who correct me either. Mistakes are made and I understand this but I would like people to think about simple things they can do. I would not point out "atleast" to someone because it isn't that important to the big picture. I do that one all the time and I do know better. And consider was a type-o. not a miss-spelling but yes I did that too 
. I just hope we can all do better, and yes that includes me. I do try. I would like to say I am more than happy with everyone who catches my mistakes, this should go on and I will be belted for a while with this but hey, I like a good whipping now and then....

Yeah, I try to look over my posts before posting, but no one is perfect, and sometimes you're just in a hurry. What bugs me the most is excessive chat speak; can't stand it!

And how long before someone posts a topic about proper grammar and punctuation?

I never proofread or edit. Thaqt shows a lack of confidence in oneself.
I also do crossword puzzels and suduko in ink. And when my kids misbehave I don't beat them.
That's jsu tteh kind of guy I am. If you don't liek it you can lump it.

Ironically you misspelled misspelled too, and it's typo not type-o (I think that's blood)

With chat so common I don't think that would be an issue. Miss-spelled is accepted however I don't like the look of misspelled so that is why I use that one. I think it's easier to read the word. You can also use miss spelled without the -, I don't think we need to have everything perfect either. But for simple stuff let us please take a second look is what I am trying to get people to understand. I don't think I have really opened a can of worms but maybe I did. Who knows.

Thanks ALMonty for the ieSpell tip. Downloaded it and using it now. Looked in the 'Options' panel and there are quite a few language options but I'm afraid Zubish is a 'no show'

Side note for those who missed it (and again sorry about that Zu
) :
Zubish's meaning: Zub[az] + [engl]ish =Zubish
We have already two masters of Zubish here: One is Master Pizza

So basically you can make up your own words,but if someone else misspells something they appear to be undeducated? OK.

Umm, welll, it's ah... not miss-spelling that one's spelled misspelling. And, well your post could use a little punctuation and paragraphing. But, who am I to talk. Ahh.. perfection, will we ever attain it? lol later.
