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.

I'll say it again. We aren't writing Senior Papers here. Who the hell cares how it's spelled, written, looks, etc.


Yeah but there is a thing called common courtesy...

Since this post is still going strong I thought I'd have some fun with messaiah1's statement using the ebonics translator.

common courtesy...


Common courtesy...please, now common courtesy has to apply to how people spell/chat online. Why don't we just bring in the government and let them regulate how everything is typed/displayed on the Internet. Draw a line people. Again, there are far bigger things to get worked up about than spelling/grammar. So let's go, bring on the Grammar Nazi's, just remember, my English is gooder than yours.

Common courtesy...please,


seeing how this site and many others have members from all over the world that speak different languages, it is only common courtesy to make an attempt at being literal so it is easier for others to understand. To do otherwise is not thoughtful at all and you end up appearing somewhat uneducated.

This well-known classic comes to mind:

CANDIDATE FOR A PULLET SURPRISE
I have a spelling checker.
It came with my PC.
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot sea.
Eye ran this poem threw it,
Your sure reel glad two no.
Its vary polished inn it's weigh.
My checker tolled me sew.
A checker is a bless sing,
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when aye rime.
Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule.
The checker pours o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.
Bee fore a veiling checkers
Hour spelling mite decline,
And if we're lacks oar have a laps,
We wood bee maid too wine.
Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
Their are know faults with in my cite,
Of nun eye am a wear.
Now spelling does knot phase me,
It does knot bring a tier.
My pay purrs awl due glad den
With wrapped words fare as hear.
To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should bee proud,
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaws are knot aloud.
Sow ewe can sea why aye dew prays
Such soft wear four pea seas,
And why eye brake in two averse
Buy righting want too pleas.

I read that very easily. Amazing how the brain works.

I received this in a weekly newsletter and was amazed at how easily I could read it also. I'm not saying spelling and grammar shouldn't be important but it is an amazing thing to be able to decipher this mess!
