A question for all…
Who uses spell check when typing up these threads? I have noticed that many people out there can’t spell for trying. Have you tried looking up a meaning of a word and then applying it in a thread? Or do you just go with what you type, without even putting any heart into it? How about a dictionary, online or offline? What is with that? I am shocked that someone has not said anything before this. So on top of that question above, would you be willing to meet someone who’s threads are all spelling mistakes and you know there is no way in hell that they are typos?

To me it is in the way you display yourself to the world.

Typos are a nonissue, we all do it.

What I DO take issue with, are the ones that are overly egotistical about their education but repeatedly respell the simplest of words.

Rather thought it would be Windygirl, but Twisters are definitely something to be careful of.

But kissing a cute butt wouldn't be so bad.

Oh, did I say that?

Well, your general point has some merit, but most of this banter is just rapid, perhaps vapid, and off the cuff. For a major communication, I think people should be more attentive, too, mais c'est la vie!

I use dictionary daily ....it is unfortunate that the dictionary is constantly removed from the postion that i place it.... I use the dictionary constantly when online and in forums. It elevates me to a height where I am able to correspond with nice people such as yourself. Even now while i type with 5 and half of my fingers I use the dictionary to better see what it is you are trying to convey. I place this 8 inch thick dictionary on the chair seat then place myself upon it it allows me to reach the level of intellect as to be accepted by the masses....its also great for reaching the cereal out of the cupboard..but then i must use the chair without wheels for that.

Have a excellent day CLEO

P.S. my spellchecker is still in bed.

Okaaaaaaaaaay...

I believe your original post started out, "A question for all."

Clarification: Typos are a nonissue to ME!

Bummer that your spell check function fails to correct capitalization, puncuation, and grammatic errors.

Save the flaming.
