Just something I found.

Try and read this.

I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid. Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer inwaht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? yaeh and I awlyas thought slpeling was ipmorantt.

I think this is the third time this has been posted. Bob is already aware of this study...

Yes I have seen it, and I agree that it is readable. However that does not help me when I see all the spelling errors our posters make. And really does it hurt to be a little careful when posting something for the world to see.

Well, sometimes it does. If you submitted a resume to me and it had a spelling error, it would get tossed. So it does pay to take a minute and proof read what you've typed.

Ya okay a resume but i mean an oline board aobut reefing. If i were jusding it would be about how crrect the information on that board was. Not the spelling. You are going to ry to tell me that you wont attempt to read a board that is full to the brim of top notch information but it has spelling mistakes? I dont think so.

myself being a teachers son,am very picky about spelling. My girlfriend is a terrible speller and I bug her all the time. I feel it is a good practise to spell correctly because you never know...
