Lack of....

SPELLING!

Typos? Normal. Jokes/accents? OK. Abbreviations? Fine. But the consistent misspelling of numerous simple words really gets on me.

Over THERE.

THEIR house.

THEY'RE pussies.

I'm not picking on anyone in particular, it's prevalent in today's society. I deal with attorneys. Can't spell. Travel professionals. Can't spell. Dentists. Other professionals. And these are supposedly educated people. I get letters in from clients, they can't spell - even with damn spell check, and they're too lazy to hit just one...damn...button. There's another word:

I'm going TO their house.

I want to go TOO.

Cool, my car seats TWO.

Sure, you get your message across in most cases; but in a professional environment you make a bad impression with poor spelling. I know a guy that didn't get a job because he misspelled a word. (No, not me) Not sure? Self education. Go to www.m-w.com and look it up.

Damn.

I hear that.

Glad i'm not the only one...

Speaking of Dentists and Doctors. Whats up with their handwriting? Good lord man! Whenever I bring a prescription to CVS it takes the guy a good 5 minutes to figure out what the Doc wrote.

I also can't stand it when people post on a message forum and decide grammar and punctuation no longer apply. Do you know how hard it is to read a post when there are no effin periods? How about those huge posts that are nothing more then a run on sentence? Then when you bring it up they say its just a forum and they don't need no stinking grammar.

Now typos and spelling mistakes happen. I know this cause I make mistakes too. But to just forgo any concept of grammar and puncuation is ignorant in my eyes.

Heres where I go if I wanna know how to spell a word; http://www.m-w.com/ or www.google.com

The BRAKE pads on my car are ceramic.

Quit complaining and give us all a BREAK. :banghead:

This IS a stress relief forum.

Initially I thought this hread was about the lack of sex in your life. How disappointing :(

THEY'RE pussies.


wouldn't it be "THEIR pussies"? oh, uhh.... yeah I must be thinking of something else... *excuses self*

Initially I thought this hread was about the lack of sex in your life. How disappointing :(


Fortunately, that's NOT the case. :D

:lol: If that were the case, were you planning on helping him out? Is that whats disappointing? :lol:

I think that Raz is a male, as am I. If he had offered, I would have had to politely refuse the offer of said "help".

i no i hate it when ppl cant spell proberly, i meen dam didint you goe too school i hate wen there all acing so smart but all theyre grammer isint even corect

That was seriously hard. It took quite a bit of concentration to decide the best way to spell things wrong, lol. I had an awesome first grade teacher, plus I used Reader Rabbit before kindergarten, so I think great English skills are bult on an early foundation of the fundamentals during childhood. Does anyone care to concur?

:lol: If that were the case, were you planning on helping him out? Is that whats disappointing? :lol:
Pssht, you wish buddy! LOL. It's disappointing because it's not as entertaining.

Harr!!!

Teh.

I Hate that one,
But that's just a personal problem probably.

LOL

Spelling hasn't improved.

cause some people dont give a fuck

Fred, you sound like my little brother. He is always complaining about peoples spelling, grammer, ect. ect. ect. I passed everything in school with a's and b's except english class. No matter how hard I tried I couldent make the grade. Not every one is perfect.

I'm just bitching - it's always been a pet peeve of mine and up to now I haven't really said anything here (except this thread). Not judging, but have seen enough people get shot down because of poor spelling - or for not giving a crap about it.

Sidwayz got pretty hot about stuff, must have plucked the wrong chord.

im clam i just think your a asshole

Well, you're entitled to your opinion.

As I am entitled to mine.

My grammer is pour. I park airplains in hangers.

But, that is a cool job!

"Huked onn fonics werked fer mee!!":lol: I agree, I don't like to bring up other people's inability to spell correctly, but when you are trying to get a point across, it's hard to take some people's posts seriously when it is full of grammatical errors. Maybe if more people had the English teachers/professors I had in school, there'd be less mis-spelled words and grammar errors. :grinyes:

I'm screwed both ways because I've been taught the Canadian curriculum from grade 1 to grade 4, the British curriculum from grade 5 to grade 9, the American curriculum for grade 10 and now I'm back to the Canadian curriculum. Yeah, I get confused which one is which.

I.e., 'Colour' is British, I think, and 'Color' is American. 'Sulphur' is British, and 'Sulfur' is American. GOD-DAMNIT! Why the FUCK can't we have a universal English language? :angryfire: :banghead:

Lots of ways & countries there; tough duty on that one, but I'd think if you can show someone it's in the dictionary, you're good to go.

airline maiintenance

After every flight, Quantas pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe

sheet," which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The

mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and

then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.



Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here
are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Quantas' pilots and
the solutions recorded by maintenance engineers.

By the way, Quantas is the only major airline that has never had an
accident.

(P= The problem logged by the pilot.)

(S= The solution and action taken by mechanics.)


P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.


P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.

P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.

P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per
minute descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.


P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what they're for.

P: IFF inoperative.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.

P: Number 3 engine missing.
