shiit at spelling

3ndahalfof6

OK, so I was on a thread earlier, I replied, my spell check is not working and I got dogged (I probably spelt wrong as most words will be in this post), how does it effect you or does it effect you to replying to certain threads, or would you just not reply because you feel or know your spelling will be wrong,

letting the grammerists (thats how I spelll it) come on board to make you feel bad or insecure while making them feel important,

I can work any man into the ground, workers 20 years younger than me can not keep up or get to grip with the grind, I might not be able to spell well but for some reason my maths is better than most people I meet,

if I am set a challenge I will suceed because I willl ask the people around me what they think , where are there flaws,

I was told some months ago not to create a thread on AH again or I would be banned but I feel this should be talked about (because spelling about it would put me on the peripheral),

I understand what words mean, I just do not know how to spell them sometimes and some people seem to love to jump on the fact you are shiit at spelling,

this is something Boards.ie could look at, I see so many members who have been here for 3-4 years but do not post much,

now it could be that they think it is all bullshiiit, or it could be they feel when they do think they could contribute and it would be look pure stupid, non inteligeble.

There is probably plenty of spelling mistakes in this post, the reason I need help and the reason spell check was created. (just guessing)

I read your post in a Forrest Gump voice.

" I'm not a smart man... but I know what love is. "

El Guapo!

Unless you're an author or something, your spelling doesn't matter all that much. Who cares if you can't spell that well.
And the people who just pick out a persons spelling mistakes in their post and ridicule them about it are just arseholes in my opinion.

I really taught I could depend on the breathen AH to support me here, my bad I should of posted it in AH, at least I would of got some support there.

Spelling mistakes do not bother me at all. If someone corrects your spelling they are a complete knob. It's also the last resort when certain people are loosing a debate on here

On the other hand if a person creates a post with this new text language 'c u later' I would ignore that BS

They are, as are spelling pedants. The OP is just going to an awful lot of effort in an àrse covering exercise where in an attempt to make another poster feel like a twat, the OP claimed they were dyslexic.

The reason this claim particularly annoyed me is because I have worked with dyslexic people and have seen examples of real dyslexia at first hand, and quite frankly the àrse covering attempts of the OP are laughable.

I should probably have mentioned by now that spell check in browsers does just that, and doesn't just crash of it's own accord.

I'm not a grammar and spelling nazi either, I just can't hack people who make absolutely no effort to spell correctly when there is any amount of assistance available to them, but under normal circumstances I wouldn't usually make a point of it.

Spelling's not that important, unless you really need it for your job or if you write a lot.

I think if someone's aware that their spelling isn't great they should consider taking a little extra care by using a spellcheck or double-checking the spelling of long words, but it's not such a big deal as usually misspelled words can be understood (grammar can be a different story).

I do get surprised when people complain about Grammar and Spelling Nazis though. While I think the behaviour of such people is deplorable, I don't see them too often in After Hours. People seem to complain about them more often than they encounter them.

Hippies!

Good post OP, you remind me of my dad. His spelling isn't the best either and a combination of short sight and being a complete newb with computers means he wouldn't exactly conform to the type etiquette of snobby Nazis either but I'm proud of him anyway and I'm happy for you for standing up against them grammerholes.

Well my mon ami, I do spell words wrong and type the first letter of the first letter of the word last and the last letter first, but laugh at your leisure, you must feel so proud, important, to know you have the upper hand,

it is quick sand, how are you spelling it, ooooooooo sorry to late, blub blub.

T-K-O

Spell check is the solution and the problem. When you misspell a word most people right click and correct without actually processing how to spell that particular word

TheBody

My spelling is brutal too. I often start writing a sentence and have to re-write it because there is a word or two that I don't know how to spell.

aaronjumper

Try not to let it bother you op just post your opinions and ignore the over zealous spell checkers.

Sometimes people will use it in a debate if they feel they are not doing too well.
"You can't even spell why should I listen to you"

The internet is like real life you will meet a lot of pricks but you will also meet nice people. Don't let the few ruin your opinion of the many.

pawrick

My posts would be double what they are now easily if I posted all the rants I typed up only to reconsider before hitting the reply button.

Also sometimes not bothered/logged in

I work harder, just saying like. Probably not the best talent to have, in fairness, but it's the talent I got - I'm a workhorse, and I've worked with loads of workhorses, and I'm workhorsier.

I've probably slagged you over your spelling,(wouldn't come as much surprise) but in fairness I really couldn't care about spelling. This is a mess-ish forum, sure you have to slag about somthing, if it's not an opinion it's a spelling mistake. I wouldn't take it personally, it's just a bit of messing and in fairness, a spelling mistake is just that, a mistake, and not the end of the world really. If someone(a sarcy dickhead most would say) like me slags you about it, it's just as a way of extracting humour, not to do you down.

I said your attempts at àrse covering were laughable, but yet again you try and twist what a person says to claim I was laughing at someone who actually has dyslexia. Who's trying to be clever now? If you like I'm more than willing to PM you some links to resources which would help with your claimed condition.

I'm bowing out now before I earn myself an infraction, but the offer of assistance is there should you choose to take me up on it.

There have been tons of thread about spelling on boards.

It matters to some people, and that is fine bad spelling does annoy some people.

I often get called out over my spelling and grammar on after hours, it does not bother me in the slightest, what I do not like is the fact that the criticism of poor spelling or grammar might be enough to intimidate some poster from contributing to a discussion.

Sure your grand, but unfortunately the people who I mentioned you to asked me to send you no invitations, but if you would like to meet me, one on one for a drink or pepsi, I will breath on the glass writing messages,

once you stand under me I will sit at your table.

I am old enough and ugly enough to know what my problem is, I do not neen someone like you telling me how to fix it, you just need to be supportive of people who do struggle mixing with society because they may not be able to spell a word correct,

it might be time for you to have a career check, you could be doing more damage than good.. being up your own arse for to long could lead to, being up your arse to long, (I hope I smelt this right).

I had a friend too who used to say "stand under" when most people would say understand. She wasn't dyslexic either, she just thought she was being cute. Really she was just a head melt.

I also have a deaf friend who used communicate with me by typing out messages on their phone because I didn't understand sign language at the time. We could do that too if you like?

If you're cute I suppose it'd be rude of me to refuse to meet up for a drink and a chat

looksee

For some reason I have always been able to write pretty good English; spelling and grammar are easy to me, so I am lucky when it comes to communicating. If we communicated through maths or French (or any other language) I would be hopelessly lost.

That's why I am not going to get uptight with people who slip up on spelling and grammar. Its much more important to communicate than worry about how perfect your spelling is. I also don't agree that people should correct other people's spelling etc as that would lead to rows, break up the flow of discussions and be patronising.

However - how can people not see that their post is full of little wiggly red lines? Like the one I can see under patronising above, but I know that's because the spellcheck wants me to type 'patronizing', which I am not prepared to do.

Does it matter? If you posted in soccer and wrote all sorts of careless nonsense about teams, people would pick you up pretty quickly. Same in motors or computer forums, get things wrong just through carelessness and you will be quickly put right!

Maybe if everyone took a bit of time to at least take a hint from the spellchecker some of the really persistent errors would be corrected and it might even show in things like job applications in real life.

Gawd that all sounds a bit picky its just my take on it though.

Oh. I see.

Well while I can forgive your foul spelling, I cannot abide by your foul mouthed rants. Consider my previous offer withdrawn.

McCrack

Hang on now, if somebody struggles with spelling they can do something about it. Lessons or something.

I have no doubt bad spelling with guidance and practice (like anything) can be improved on.

To ignore it into adulthood is just lazy in my view. If youre having spelling difficulties go to night school and learn ffs.

Students typing "thought" for "taught" really grinds my gears, tbh, anything else is just an opportunity to have a laugh, but probably most don't get my sense of humour(understandable)- It worries me how often people take what I write seriously as I've only got 2 serious bones, and both are in me hole.

I admit that the following spellling mistakes do get under my skin: 'your' for 'you are' and 'there' for 'their' and 'lose' for 'loose'. Other ones don't bother me at all. I think its because i see these, like txtspk, as not caring. Its amazing how common they are though.

gurramok

I still can't spell or pronounce that damn word "pheunomon" or however its actually spelt without using a spell-checker.
I dunno but the older you get, you tend to lose the ability to spell that well or maybe its because we're all using computers to spell for us instead of pen on paper to help us spell?

It is not so much about spelling but putting the word on paper with the last letter 1st, it happens me so much I spend more time looking over what I have written (is this a word), it is the reason most of my replys are 3-4 words, not in this thread but in most of my replies to other threads.

I am not saying you are wrong, but when I have to go left or right I need to look at my hands, strange as this may seem it works for me.

This thread has shown up something very interesting. A lot of people do not seem to be aware that spell check will not always help particularly if you difficulties is around words that look the same but have different meanings or words that have similar spelling but have different meanings

For example ..siginfied and significant.

Also if your spelling is very very poor you might not have any idea of how the correct work should look, so even with spell check you are not sure if it is the correct word.

I have to look at the keyboard too when typing. I'm a fast typer but never caught the typing while not looking at keyboard thing. My memory to remember where the keys are is crap but my fingers know where they are!

You're not alone on the spelling thing, most of us here who have to use more than four letters in a word have to use a spell checker :pac:

I could not tell the difference between left and right till I was an adult.

My OH and two son's have great difficulty spelling but are very bright in lots of other areas. They are very strategic and good at seeing the bigger picture. They also have a great sense of direction.

Both sons have been assessed as having dyslexia - but I strongly believe that their brain just works in a different way from other other people; that's why they excel in some things but struggle with spelling.

A big issue for all of them is a lack of confidence - many people assume that because they can't spell that they are stupid (they even think this this! and I continually have to reinforce what they are good at).

I came across this video a few weeks ago - it's quite insightful into the world of bad spellers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPhV9SyVmwA&sns=em

Not sure what siginfied means, and my spellchecker doesn't like it!

Yes it is true that if two words are interchangeable in a sentence - it can't sort out there and their, not on this message board anyway, Word can sort it. If we just sorted the worst of the spellings it would be a good start though.

Really though, how hard is it to just type a word that you are really stuck on into a new tab, it takes a couple of seconds and you will get spelling, meaning and pseudonyms (I just had to check up the spelling of pseudonym because my brain fried )
