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.

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

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

[fredjacksonsan]

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

[RickwithaTbird]

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?
