Suffragette1 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 It's not the spelling that gets to me as much as the people that post one huge paragraph with no full stops or capitals, or they put several .... after each lump of information. The rules are quite simple, capital letter at the beginning of a sentence and a full-stop at the end. I agree, I find those posts impossible to read, so seldom bother. They're just too hard on the eye. I've never understood the whole suspension points craze, when did they take over commas or full stops? I only ever use them to indicate that a sentence is incomplete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carly83 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 personal opinion is that to many people make a huge deal out of spelling errors, and a few far from making a 'big deal' are just plain rude and nasty. granted the text speek is a nightmare as unless your use to it it's bound to come accross as a rambling mess. my spellings and grammor is terrible and i know it is but with a mixture of dyslexia, mental health condition, leaving school a year and half early and missing a total of 2 years of schooling from age 8-10 years its hardly a surprise. i have no nerves in my left little finger either so its unlikly to see a capital letter from me either as its very uncomfortable moving from the typing position each time as the finger that should work the key doesn't work! a few people in the past have been discustingly rude and down right nasty to me over my spellings and it is hurtfull. although granted they were mostly trolls that seemed to disapear anyway. if it was a job and spellings was causing a problem the employer would have the right to raise the issue as after all there paying them, but its not a paid position is a social site for people of all walks of life with many grades of education.

Gordonb Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Carly83 by virtue of your very readable post you have almost shown how bad some of the others are. Compared to some you are way above their standard. Plus this is never a case for being rude on the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ofTheseDays Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Just had a thought while looking through threads, even with spellchecker available, how many posts there are with wrongly spelt words. Why is this? You say "even with spellchecker available", but you have to have ieSpell installed on your computer for it, which i for one can't be bothered to do.

buck Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Either people don't know, don't care, or can't be bothered. Some people don't think spelling is important.They'd care if they can't get that good job that demands good spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
