Spelling and the lack of an excuse

[Shayper]

Bizarre - that does make it a lot harder to read even though I had no issues with the first one!

Yeah. That actually hurt my brain trying to read. The first one was a lot easier.

That's a good way of ****ing with people though

I don't care if they're dyslexic, foreign or both, 'cuz' is not correct, and i will pick them up on it, if they truly had an excuse like above they'd chalk it down to learning and correct themselves, but people almost never do when you bring it up.

Most people whom I've come across that claim they're dsylexic have never actually been tested yet use it as an excuse.

It all stems from the namby-pamby education system in this country where in schools you can't call a stupid person stupid, a lazy person lazy, there has to be some sort of neurological disorder.

It's the same with ADD/ADHD etc. Whilst I don't doubt that in SOME cases it's valid, MANY of them are simply down to bad behaviour, made worse by the parents latching on to these disorders instead of facing the real issue, the lack of parenting skills & discipline.

You can normally spot the genuine cases of these disorders because they're the ones that strive to succeed despite them. Point in case, a member of my year in secondary school was tested and found to be dsylexic. She worked hard and ended up doing law at Oxford.

That's a load of ****, I have been in schools in this "new" generation and it's nothing like that.
You have to get tested to be able to get help and extra time in exam. And actually the teachers have better things to be doing than labeling kids lazy or stupid anyway.
Of course some kids will claim they are dyslexic or have ADHD, but kids are like that anyway, I am pretty sure half my school said their uncle was Micheal Owen.

Capitalisation is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

I don't think we should go off topic here, all browsers include a spell checker, so bloody well use it.

Do they? I can't find mine on ie

IE is not a browser, it's a virus created by microsoft.

As someone who is guilty of entirely random spelling, I dont care when other people do it either.

basically if you correct someone elses spelling or grammar on the internet your severely lacking something in your own life and should sort out your own neuroses.

Hands up which of you went over the OPs post with a fine toothcomb.

 

[Pawnless Endgame]

Spellings doesn't bother me that much. I dislike the usage of wrong words though like could have (could have) and your an overclocker (you are / you're an overclocker).

Should be 'you're severely lacking'

Not much use when the vast majority of mistakes are grammatical/wrong word and mobile/touch screen issues.
Words are not underlined on many many mobile browsers.

 

[wannabedamned]

People who type in their accent annoy me the most.

Although text speak is annoying also

That image should end any argument with someone who insists there is nothing wrong with poor spelling.
