I seldom respond to these threads but walking back from my office to finish the dishes I had two thoughts.....over the crying baby.
Most people dont even reread what they type, and if you think of the individuals you are referring too, is what they type even relevant in most cases. If you take the "p" out of spelling you get what I believe is an important skill. All the best. Wendell PS If I mis-spelled something or my grammer is poor, my wife is too busy with the baby to check it

When I go out onto my balcony, I have to inevitably look at a sign for a barber's shop across the street that reads: "Razors Edge". It makes me cringe. Call me a stickler; call me picky; call me an English major
But, I have been cursed, not only with the ability to spell almost everything correctly, but also abilities in punctuation and grammar. Woe is me. P.S. I may be considered one of those young'uns (at 30 years), but I'm probably the exception to the rule. I always got in trouble when I was a kid because I would stay up late, with a flashlight, reading into the wee hours of the morning. Such a rebel

 I've been in university for a long time, and I've really started to notice, the severe lack of spelling and grammar skills some of my younger peers posess. There is nothing like doing a project with someone, receiving their share of the work, and then having to spend a couple hours re-writing it because of grammar and spelling errors. Although as far as I am concerned, if I can understand the message or point, and its not an official communication that is fine. Its when I get official letters for job offers, or from my university with spelling errors, and incorrect grammar that I cringe. Last edited by michika; 08-20-2007 at 05:49 PM.

Teehee, people in this thread keep editing their posts for spelling mistakes but I'm not sure if they're leaving some intact just for the fun of it...
It's pretty rough when you have people in your workgroup writing at a 6th grade level.

It's pretty rough when I'm reading this at 1:17 AM
 In any case, I just caught Superbad. It was super wicked. Rules like I roll... Over old people with my Hummer. El - oh - el Marco. Beat that.

I got into the habit of correct spelling and punctuation and grammar when I was in high school. My blasted english teacher (also taught me in 8th grade) was so anal retentive about it. However, I'm a young young'un. Only 22. Nowadays, it bugs me to no end to see ppl talk lyk this. I do shorten "because" to "cuz" just because because is such an annoying word.
 Ha!
