Just some of the things I need to get off my chest.
Things to consider before you post.

Don't post till you check your spelling. I know it might be difficult but why look like someone with a second grade education when you know you can do better. I think most just post and never look back to read what they have written first. Maybe you look after you post and think "oh no" did I really do that? Most miss-spelled words are just that, the person couldn't spell it, some are just silly as in the word wallpapers or problem, those look like someone who is frustrated but I think just re-reading your work is a must before you post. No one here might say anything but we do think it. There is no spell check for the posts here and I have been at other sites that have them and people seem to think they are too smart to use them.  I would say to that, so sorry but your post didn't make the cut because you didn't spell check. Here there isn't that option so you must proof read your post first and if you are not sure of the spelling please look up the word first to make sure you look like someone took a little time to read before you post. I do this for my own sanity. I try very hard to make sure I at least try to spell it right before I post. I might not be the brightest bulb in the box but I don't want to look like the broken bulb either. Please just check before you post and save the people here from looking at these mistakes and try to use "Caps" where needed. Couldn't hurt. Thanks from someone who goes crazy when she views posts like this.

Although I always try to spell check before posting, I don't give a rat's ass if others don't!

In fact, keep it up..... this provides well needed comic relief for me

I'll say it again. We aren't writing Senior Papers here. no one cares how it's spelled, written, looks, etc. If you are a moderately educated adult , you can figure out what most people are trying to say.


i agree it is the internet not the class rooom

I know when I sit down to write I found when I rant I tend to make many mistakes.


but I would like the information look good on the website



Just thought since it was important enough to revive a dead thread a couple weeks later that I would point out some of your grammatical errors, punctuation errors, and missing words.

In case you want to improve on those too

I have it when I type (Here in this area) it puts a nice red line under my misspelled words.
but it dose not always give me the option of the word I am trying to type so I use MS Word and my Oxford Dictionary.

Who gives a crap about spelling? More importantly, who made you the authority on correct spelling? Occasionally remind yourself: this is only an internet forum not an elementary school spelling bee. As long as the post is decipherable and one can reasonably understand the message being conveyed, what does a little spelling improvisation matter? I think it's creative and unique, but that’s just my opinion...

Come on folks, it's the thought that really counts here. Anyways she could have been a teacher in a former life and just might have that yard stick handy to reach out and touch you. I hated that, I always caught sleeping in class.

i have found what you are like
       i have found what you are like
the rain,

(Who feathers frightened fields
with the superior dust-of-sleep. wields

easily the pale club of the wind
and swirled justly souls of flower strike

the air in utterable coolness

deeds of green thrilling light
with thinned

newfragile yellows

lurch and.press

-in the woods
which
stutter
and

sing

And the coolness of your smile is
stirringofbirds between my arms;but
i should rather than anything
have(almost when hugeness will shut
quietly)almost,
your kiss


e.e. cummings
