Spelling nazis

[MotoGirl]

I wish poor spelling and grammar was easy to ignore, but it's not. In fact, I find that it distracts me from the message the writer is trying to get across.

I'm not being anal and looking for poor writing, but I do notice it because I have spent years writing and reviewing documentation.

I am sure you got a gold star at school well done.

Yet another thing about which you are wrong.

I sucked at spelling, incidentally that taught me how to use a dictionary.

In that case I hope the toilet isn't far away.

kb has spellcheck??

Yeah - here it goes; marvel as it does its thing:

Yeah it's a pain in the arse! Waiting for some good advice and getting a pointless retort.

It's like at Christmas when some distant relative gives you a keyring that's wrapped in a box big enough for a microwave.

Hehe, yeah, it's a bit of a messy one.

For the most part it's just annoying :P

Yeah, that was really hard to read.

[sunhuntin]

wow. amazing.

i think theres more need for paragraph and punctuation check. i find that harder to read than misspelled words.

Yeah - here it goes; marvel as it does its thing:

LOL ok, that was great

Should there be a captial "N" (and "S") in the title?

No. No. No.
There's a need for all of it. And not only spelling etc. The incorrect use of words gets me all upset, too.
For example...how often does one see the term 'quiet annoying'? When what is (probably) meant is 'quite annoying'. It is.
And I nearly entered such a state when I espied the term 'coma' - when what was meant was 'comma'. One may ask what's an 'm' between friends...but there is a gulf of meaning between 'riming' and 'rimming'.
For example.

Don't you mean 'their spelling...' ?
*snigger*

[vifferman]

No. No. No.

Defiantely.

I was looking on TardMe the other day and I was amazed - nay, my gast was nigh on flabbered! - at how many fucktards couldn't list things in the right category. And it never ceases to confound me how many eeejits can't spell the name of the thing that they're listing for sale. Like "Susuki".
How farkn hard is it (as the actress said to the bishop) to have a look at the label if you're not sure?

*snigger*

no i dont actually.

[MSTRS:Me]

It's the fault of the loony left...infiltrating what was once the finest education system in the world, and then dicking incessantly with it, until it was fucked.
EDIT...there is a saying that the pen is mightier than the sword. I'm not sure that still applies. Afterall, when one is left to work out what was/is meant from a badly spelt and constructed piece of writing...well, one is tempted to take a sword to the ignoramus who wasted all that ink.

This thread is just getting hilarious, if only i could have spelled everything wrong from my first post.

Bloody good point with the tardme idiots and their bad categorization of things.

Speaking of spelling, does anyone know whether 'z' in words like "categorization" are from an American dictionary or an English/GB dictionary?
