Spelling Does Count!

See on your "create a new post" page on your blog-that little thing with a check mark and ABC over the top? Right next to the add photo button??

Use the f***ing thing!

Click it and it will high-lite the words it thinks are wrong. You also have a better spell check in your Internet Explorer up on the top next to the IM icon ( I know you all can use that-probably way too much).

Everyone screws up a word here or there but a handful of blogs are so badly typed and/or written that I can't read them. You may have something serious to say, but I am laughing at your grade school writing and you are what-35? At least learn to spell for the kids who you chat about. They need a teacher at home too. OMG! You're home schooling?? Oy Vey!!

Endora may have to cast a spell so you can spell so your kids can spell!

If you have Fire Fox, misspelled words will be underlined for you. Thus making it simplier for you to learn English.

One that drives me absolutely crazy used the word Bloom's in her title, but it is not a possessive. She keeps that apostrophe in there despite readers telling her it does not belong there and is completely and blatantly incorrect. Why would a person insist on keeping an error such as this, unless it is just out of pure defiance, is beyond me!

Funny that this is a diatribe about spelling, and there's a big gramatical oops...

Your sentance shoud read "...learn to spell for the kids about whom you chat."

To the double snort poster. You learned the rules out of context. The original post is completely acceptable.

I write in slang at times. Who cares? You're getting the story, ain't cha? Cha isn't a word, but you understood it, duh!

Also to double snorter to "Chat" means to actually be doing a live instant messaging. Nobody is "chatting" when they are blogging. And watch out, you're bitching about what was written, I think they rules here.

"double snort"---you spelled grammatical incorrectly.

again, the spell check is at the top of your explorer.

one demerit.

Now on to lighter things.

Check out this little poem from the link above! Computer spell checkers are not infallible!

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
