getting tired of...

CAJ,
Oh and down South "T'aint" is a noun :D
If that means the same thing down there as it does here, mebbe we shouldn't take that one any further.

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! :D

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.

Nope did it on purpose...glad you picked it up...I tried to leave in the hilites for a misspelled word, but it wouldn't do that, so I went a little less subtle...

Catach22, nope, and nope...but I'm not crazy...my mother had me checked

Doug627...not grading, just observing and finally commenting...

bamabiker...HUH????

Jessie...thanks, I was not made aware of that but it appears to be a great possible explanation...

see, this is fun...for me
 
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!
 
Second language

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 ;)


You have my admiration; I can mistype in only one language, from what I have read of your posts you do quite well.

Cow folk

Hows bout them there's cow folk speak? Drives me nuts however, It's also just easier to write the way you speak.

Oh heavens, my sincerest apologies for my heretofore offensive missives posted hereon.

I shall, in the future, endeavor to refrain from my propensity to use cowboy colloquialisms which appear to cause such mental anguish to some of the denizens of this distinguished and august gathering of souls.

So that's what the poster meant by COW folk I thought maybe he was saying CCW but misspelling it.

Cow folks speak? Aw heck, that ain't nuthin.
Hav enny o y'all evva tryed ta rite wif a Suthen axcent? Thet thar iz tuff! :eek:

BTW: I DO know the difference between "naked" and "Nekkid". ;)
 
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.
 
Could someone please explain the difference between "Nekked" and "Naked" for me?
