The hell with the poor spelling and 1st grade grammar, I'm sick of the Circuit City ad covering up half of every subject, everytime. A once great site turned into a thriving internet ad business.
AMF!
AMF!
No flames from me but I will say that I know a LOT of people that have trouble spelling, have trouble using a computer etc. etc. but they can flat out shoot and hunt circles around me, and probably most on this site.
I never condemn someone for their dress, demeanor, intelligence, knowledge or their use of the English language as long as they keep it clean.
I find it very interesting that you would state that simply because someone spells wrong or uses improper grammar that you would condemn them and not even give them the courtesy of reading their posts.
I do find it less than mentally stimulating personally when someone decides to appoint themselves as so far above others that they would belittle, degrade and or put down, those that may not be quite as technically proficient as some.
It's just my personal opinion but I be ashamed or myself if I put people down without knowing all of the facts. We're all in the same boat around here and like it or not, we are equals on this site until the day we get nuked.
If you don't like some posts then simply don't read them but don't come down on others for something they may not be able to help. Yeah I know, some people do irritating things and it may or may not meet with your, or my, standards of conduct but that doesn't make them any less of a contributor or member of this site.
Take a chill pill because if simple spelling mistakes torque you that much I'd hate to see what something serious does to your day.
Using Firefox any spelling mistakes are underlined and you are allowed to correct them when typing in your post.Question...
When you guys are tiping a new reply into this white box, does not the word "tiping" come up underlined...as a spelling mistake?
That does not work for the title of the thread, however.
PS. I can not spell well at all, I use the spell check that is at the top of the page in my tool bar.
Thanks Steve. I went and changed my toolbar settings and sure enough, there it was. A spell checker. Good job.
GG,
How'd you change your toolbar to bring spell check to life?
Tiping. Nope. Sorry. Nuthin'. No spell checker in my toolbox.
Dogdinger, your point is valid even if it offends everyone. Goodgrouper had a better point. The dwindling IQ is due to the dramatic increase in traffic. Good for Len. Not so good for the content of this site. Used to be a lot of fascinating conversation. Slipped a bit...
Dick has a good point too. Some real geniuses (spell check that) don't spell worth a hoot. Personally, I've noticed Kirby doesn't spell well. I read every word he takes the trouble to type, mispelled or not!
GG, on the other hand, spells superbly. Yet, he isn't worth reading!
