tcnelson 1 #2 July 13, 2005 that is cool...and yes, spelling is important. when i come across writings that have many misspellings, i don't give the author as much respect as i would otherwise. so, even if the premise of the article is sound, poor spelling affects the way in which i regard the piece."Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rushmc 18 #3 July 13, 2005 ....and to think I just got hit for not being able to spell"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peregrinerose 0 #6 July 13, 2005 The first time my husband emailed me after becomming intregued by my online personals ad, his email got deleted after a very quick perusal. It was one line, no punctuation, horrible spelling. I never even gave the illiterate idiot a chance. I responded (unknowingly) to his ad a couple weeks later. Turns out he's not nearly as stupid as he came across in that first email. But his grammatical skills are still atrocious.

Channman 2 #8 July 13, 2005 Maybe I should have used a better topic sentence. The primary purpose was to show how something can be misspled and still be read. A person who can spell a word more than one way shows they have a creative mind. Or like me, there a product of Public Education. We all have our crosses to bear, bear..is that proper??? It looks right, it sounds right...but is it really. Sorry, got to go load up the RV-7A and fly on over to SkyFest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
