Spelling Mistakes On Here

[TWR]

have you replied on any post on here with a spelling mistake, know you've made a mistake but can not see it? ( Without the aid of spell checker)

[nailit]

LOL, think zacs made one on my thread, Never use spell checker myself

[ummmm]

I barely notice them and at times very petty to correct them.

What's worse is lack of punctuation. It doesn't have to be the correct punctuation, just something to separate a sentence.

[Mamyalynne]

I certainly have, even with the use of a spell checker.

I mostly only correct my own or those of others on crossword threads when it matters.

[Islay]

Agree with Ummmm, punctuation is a must. Questions can be badly spelt and long as they make sense!

[nailit]

Murdo, yes. Or 'your' instead of 'you're'

[Togo]

Must of always gits me. Must HAVE!

[pixie374]

I'm sure I would have. It doesn't matter as long as the meaning is clear- or like mamya says, on a crossword answer. Autocorrect can have a lot to answer for too!

[nailit]

Don't know why but I can never quiet(?) get the difference between 'been' and 'being' or between 'quiet' and 'quite'..

[Zacs-Master]

Many times. Why is it you only spot it after you've posted?

[ummmm]

Nailit - I think a lot comes down to your accent.

[Arksided]

If I instantly know that I've posted a spelling mistake I just follow the post up with *correction word. The spelling and grammar police annoy me, no need for it if the Q/A is intelligible. However if you think you're helping someone that's different to nit picking.

[chrissa1]

The thing about autocorrect is that you have to know, that your and you're are different meaning words!!

If you stick an 'e' on the end of your, it comes up as, you're.

"Must of always gits me."

Heh!

But yes, to answer your question, I'm sure we all do typing and grammatical errors from time to time. I don't mind those much, as long as the post is legible, text speak however irritates me beyond belief.

[nailit]

ummmm, a stokie accent leaves a lot to be desired (so ive been led to believe)

[jno]

yes, my typing's not too bad, though a sticky keyboard does produce typos. but my proofreading isn't as good as it was which means I don't actually see the typos before posting. I don't point out other people's errors unless it's stopping them googling successfully. (Or unless they're pointing the finger at other people's typing.)

[anneasquith]

I care not a jot either way :-)

Marcus Aurelius

( 3T: mark - us or-who-lee-us ! or who healy den ? innit )

asked his philosophers and they said just repeat it correctly next time round and have done with it

Lawyers get off on repeating it in print and then putting (sic) after it
Latin for " that is so" 3T what-in for what is what ?

I would regret anyone pointing out to me that " Priddy Leddy" should
be pretty lady - and where would we be without some representation of Essex estuarial dialect ? [ ware dat den ? ]

// "Must of always gits me." //

mustuv
sudduv
kinduv

as in " I sudduv hit him " used to drive my late mother crazy
"sort of" cannot possibly be adverbial ( she liked Jane Austen a lot )

I seem able to cope wiv it bedda
