Were I a mental health professional, I'd say the visceral antipathy latent in many of these replies suggests feelings of guilt and inadequacy ...were I a mental health professional. Just read more; reading is how you learn to spell.

I was diagnosed with C.D.O. . It's much like O.C.D. but the letters are in the correct order.
That's awfully nice!
Among other unsavory things I'm a halfarséd writer (SEE: semicolon) and occasional editor of other people's writing. I notice misspellings and odd grammar, but life's too short to get all wrapped around the axle over such things.
I have way too much fun here, and learn far too much, to worry a hell of a lot about the small stuff.
If I spot bad writing on a news web site or in a supposedly respectable publication, all bets are off. That's careless or absent editing. Here, I'm not sweating it.

Which is it, hilites or highlites? You've used two different spellings and I want to use your approved spelling.

Was there spell check for Morse code?
Does broccoli taste any different if you spell it wrong?
Is it time for a thread drift yet?
I like polls. This should've been a poll!

English is my 2nd language, so I apologize if my spelling has caused anyone to get eye cancer. In case you want to sue me please call my lawyer at 1-800-DNT-CARE

ONE FOR THE PET PEEVE FORUM
We ALL have them and they don't seem to bother others as much as us. Having a Harvard lawyer as a Father, you can bet our grammar was corrected often. Did it stick? Not entirely. Somehow my spellcheck disappeared from my tool bar & I have to apologize, as I'm kinda lost without it. I tolerate as much as possible as long as I can figure out what is meant. The "I GOT ME's"/ "THEM'S MINE"/ and calling Leupold (pronounced lou- poled) as Lee- A- poled, still rankle but I can deal with it, most days. LIFE'S TOO SHORT & getting shorter. I wish those were my biggest problems. And I was certainly no English major. Trying to decipher the new generation texting shorthand is harder. In the medical field each department had their own recognized abbreviations, and many like me made some up as they went along.

I'm an Engineer. Engineers can't spell. English is not a require course for enginnering. Even worse somtimes Word substistues a different word than what I meant.
I do not make spelling errors. If you see a mistake in one of my posts, it's a typo.
