I’m not sure what that means, but it’s probably pretty accurate.

I’m glad you explained that, because your writing mistakes do not match up with your level of intelligence, at all. Colt.45, on the other hand, seems to be exactly on par with his writing.

We all make mistakes, spelling and otherwise. But I do know how to spell the 32nd state of the union, some don't.

Colt.45 is smart enough to know how to bypass spell check, use all the tabs on the reply bar to express his act in every post all while doing it from his cell phone. He does not do it on other forums just here and does not do it all the time here. The more attention and responses he gets to his posts the more he intensifies his routines in every reply after that.

I never could spell worth a spit. Funny in the corporate world never been an issue, but the forum world the spelling bee types always pointing it out, normally just typos.

I went to college and ended up with a major in English and taught high school English for 5 years. So the result is I have the curse that while I read anything I am checking the grammar! Not saying it is right - just saying it is what it is!

Also college I will add. Only freshman English did I get dinged for spelling errors, the rest of my classes through my masters, it was content they looked for in essays.

I had excellent English teachers all through school. Despite my lack of interest, I learned the subject. They saw to it. I’m quite thankful for that.

I can’t speak for everyone, but that’s dead on, for me. I’m glad you understand it.

I also appreciate when anyone points out my errors, though I may poke back at them. Keeps me sharp.


Exactly. I hate making grammatical errors or misspelling a word.


Same here. I proof everything I post to make sure I didn't fat finger anything or have a brain fart. Even with that something slips through sometimes and I end up editing the post because I just can't let it ride.

If you think it is bad here, wait until a defense lawyer reams you a new one, and makes you look illiterate, over a report you wrote, in front of a jury in federal court. There are times when it's important to know whether it is ant or aunt, they're, their, or there, etc.

An example:

"Joking apart, the following is a very strong example on how punctuation can change the entire meaning of a sentence/text.

Dear John:

I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we’re apart. I can be forever happy–will you let me be yours?

Jane

Now reread the letter which is punctuated in a completely different way.

Dear John,

I want a man who knows what love is. All about you are generous, kind, thoughtful people, who are not like you. Admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me. For other men, I yearn. For you, I have no feelings whatsoever. When we’re apart, I can be forever happy. Will you let me be?

Yours,

Jane"

Some people have let texting garbage override their ability to write coherently. A grammar Nazi reminds us that we need to think before hitting reply.
