Not to upset anyone, but I figure if I can read it, and make sense out of it, it's good enough for the internet. Here is an example that has floated around the internet for years now. QUOTE cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid. Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosnt mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? yaeh and I awlyas thought slpeling was ipmorantt!
QUOTE(Beastdriver @ Jun 28 2005, 08:48 PM) Cheryl: I agree that spell check would be nice. We have too many folks who don't take the time to check the dictionary and misspell words. [snapback]2257[/snapback] I guess I misread this. Brownzin , We are in total agreement.
Ben: Congratulations. You wrote a whole eleven words without a spelling error except, of course, you misspelled the name of the person with whom you agreed. All joking aside, I have spent over 40 years tutoring disadvantaged children in how to read and write and, I must say, some of the spelling and grammar I see on the internet, and in this site, is worse than that exhibited by some of the kids I have worked with over the years. If it were a lack of education or ability, that would be one thing. But being too lazy to use an automatic feature such as spell check is quite another. That is my opinion, to which I am entitled. Of course, you, two, are intitilad to yore opinyon. That iz whut maks Amerika grate!
Well, Ben, if a person is entitled to their opinion as long as they keep it to themselves, then I suppose we won't be hearing any more from you on this site. Too bad because I find your posts amusing and interesting. I hope you will reconsider.
Big Ben, Beastdriver and everyone else. My point in posting the quote was strictly humor. I did not intend to make anyone think that bad spelling is acceptable. Many people including myself forget about using the spell check feature. Not every site that you go to will have it and if you normally visit a site with out spell check you will automatically forget to use it. Now for a case in point "Beastdriver" is improperly spelled according to the spell check, "but is it really"? Who is correct, the spell checker or the person using the pseudonym Beastdriver? Just something to think about...
Dear Browzin: It might be worth noting that both "Browzin" and "Beastdriver" are coined words that are unlikely to be found in any dictionary so a spell check program cannot identify them and, thusly, questions them. But your point is well taken.
Good Grief, a little ed-u-ma-cation is dangerous ! Everyone, just remember, " you can learn something new everyday if your not careful".
