boinky 0 #8 June 2, 2006 Let's just call it a Public Service Announcement. In the United States, these are 130 of the toughest words to spell. If you do not live in the United States, you can choose to pay attention to them or ignore them. America is all about freedom of choice! (mentally singing the song America The Beautiful) There! How's that? Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #9 June 2, 2006 ok just another reason to cause drama by my reply QuoteIf you do not live in the United States, you can choose to pay attention to them or ignore them. are you insinuating that because I live in the US that I have to pay attention to your request to spell correctly? I know I am one of the worse for spell checks but its my typing that sucks and I don't care to waste MORE time to got back and edit maybe it's something YOU"LL have to learn to deal withMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boinky 0 #10 June 2, 2006 Wow! Tough crowd tonight. For those of you who CARE whether you spell something correctly or not in American terms...the list is there for you. For those of you who don't, ignore it...just like you ignore clicking the little "check spelling" button before you click the "post reply" button. Once again, America is all about freedom of choice!

jtval 0 #11 June 2, 2006 I;m messin with ya. I DO type like shit, admittedly. I sometimes edit my posts but sometimes I just type (with what seems like my elbows) and hit post. I just figured I would keep the spirit of the thread going with my reply.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boinky 0 #12 June 2, 2006 Gee thanks...I think. But the original spirit of the thread was to help people learn to spell things correctly. Somehow, it has gotten WAY, WAY off track! Oh wait...I'm in the Bonfire, aren't I? Never mind....it's all par for the course! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

I know you weren't targeting me and I know it was a helpful post. thanks But Its not the spelling I have problems with, its the typing. I am a hunt and peck typer. it takes me way too long to be accurateMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak 17 #14 June 2, 2006 QuoteGee thanks...I think. But the original spirit of the thread was to help people learn to spell things correctly. See there you go again, inferring that if it's not spelled your way it's the wrong way, bloody parochialism thats what it is You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

Andy9o8 2 #18 June 2, 2006 You didn't include "hangar/hanger" so your list is invalid Seriously, being a spelling nazi myself (we really can't help ourselves, guys - think of it like "Monk" and germs...), I try to force myself to ignore the "noise" of spelling mistakes in the Forums. Now, the only time it really bugs me is when a mis-spelling makes me misunderstand what someone's saying so that I have to re-read it to be sure.

boinky 0 #22 June 2, 2006 Damn...you're right. I DID miss that one. But since I didn't actually create the list but just sort of "borrowed" it, do you think you can forgive me?
