How's Your Spelling?

Good for her! It's a shame some of the contributors on here don't avail themselves of a spellchecker before posting Or even read back what they've written to see whether it makes sense.....

 

Lynne Truss's book, Eats, Shoots and Leaves is a hoot. It should be available on NHS prescription

 

Ope yer nat tallkin abourt me tallking.

 

I do try...honestly....to check my posts, but they seem to change somehow when I press 'post reply'...

 

Yes for me the Edit button is used 2 seconds after the Post button!

 

Your posts are beautifully coherent, Upsy!

 

It is? It does? Isn't there some way to select English English?

 

So many operating systems have the U.S. dictionary attached as their default spell checker. I kept changing my language to UK English but every time Windows updates, it resets back to U.S. I gave up and now just keep going back and adding the u to neighbour, etc...

I do have to edit a lot because even after reading a post through before replying, I quite often see a spelling error or whatever.

I get ticked when people don't seem to even try to use punctuation or capitals where needed or ramble on and don't make any sense!

 

Unbelievably...I do overwork that poor button too, but occasionally I like to give it a little holiday. I'm just too kind for words...even the wrong ones!!!!

 

I forgot to mention that I don't bother going back and editing typos. Those are obviously easy to interpret. And I never correct someone's spelling. Rude is rude and not necessary or nice in a friendly forum.
