Spelling in thread titles

[bennyboy]

What makes me laugh is he "knew" it was about him and his spelling mistakes.
If he knew he made that many spelling mistakes, why didn't he bother to correct them? Even after the fact!

That's just laziness and inconsiderate to the extreme.
We all make the odd mistake, no ones cares.

EXCELLENT point. Logic win!

I'm with the grammar Nazis. Folks, if you think your ideas are important enough to make a new thread accessible by all, use a damned spell checker already.

I personally am disciplined about spelling; I cannot stand misspelling a word. I very rarely use a spell-checker, too. I'm a writer; language is my tool. I take pride in wielding it well.

But I don't hold the misspellings of others against them, so long as they're not crowing about how intelligent they are.

I think of it this way. Sometimes a guy just has to fart, and there's nothing he can do about it. But if a guy will just let 'er rip anywhere, anytime, and expect me to accept it, that's rude.

Everyone makes mistakes. It's the obviously not trying to prevent them that bothers me, because that shows a disrespect for everyone on the forum.

I always cross the 7's when I'm writing here in France, since they put a thingy on the 1 which makes it look like a 7.

I cross 7s most of the time because I thought it was cool when I first learned of it when I was a teenager. I am now 56 but far from mature.

I never cross 7s, because then it looks dumb when I tell people how "1337" I am.

If everyone just used Google chrome we wouldn't have an issue with spelling mistakes, it has a spell checker built in.

Yeah, but Google products take pictures of you while you masturbate. That's a problem for me.
