Spelling 101

[rehmwa 2]

This whole thread pretty much defines Speaker's Corner over the last couple years.

Though it's a bit highbrow compared to other threads.

You misunderestimate it.

So....which excuse are you going to rely on for the missuse of the word "their"?

irregardless of that, why did you misspell misuse?

I figured since everybody was correcting everybody else by using sentences with mistakes.....

'irregardless' WTF (Hint : No such word in the English language)

It is a correct (coll.) word but, not that common in use (mainly in the US).

Irregardless is to regardless as irresponsible is to responsible, irreversible is to reversible or irrational is to rational. Just because ignorant people use it doesn't make it correct.

I like watching people use it badly.

Two things that really irk me:

1) The improper use of their, there, and they're. I know it is somewhat anal but darn it all it is such an easy concept to grasp.
2) People who write, "I could care less" when what they REALLY mean is "I couldn't care less".

I type fast, you, well you look for spelling errors, syntax, etc. I think I will pass on a trailer mechanic trying to judge me. I've gone pro per on cases, one where I researched the legal definition of, "Abandoned" for 2 days and used it as the basis for a post-arbitration argument where I went up against 2 law firms and won; pro per/pro se. I spent hours on that submission ensuring its accuracy and concision; think I'll do that here? Right, all people do is look for spelling errors, hurried mistakes, etc to make their argument that because a word was misspelled the content must be errant.

Ron tried that and then wrote fucked up the word, "backpedal." He quit the grammar Naziing then.

And people who dodge issues for semantics and call it relevant.

Yea no shit, as Raig wrote, in the process of whining about my grammatical mistake, you did the same . See, this is what Ron did and then went away, all you have to do is the latter.

Gee, you were having fun until you stepped in it by spell-Naziing and then fucking up like Ron. Oh and calling me an ass is acceptable, just not the other way around.

We've reached the pinnacle when "that side" is done talking issues and is down to semantics, spelling, etc. Esp considering they make as many errors. This is great, just attack the poster, an occasional spelling error, typo, etc.

I would just like to say that I've read this like four times and am laughing my *** *** at it. Needed the chuckle....

Well, the original post was clearly a well thought out argument against democratic ideals and a stark comparison of the party's members to rodents that really warranted swift interjection from someone such as yourself. Let's see how you did:
