Apart from often changing the whole meaning of a word, incorrect spelling can make reading hard work.
The bright side is - you get the odd laugh!

Well put Greg.

Alot hear carnt spel four knuts!!!! Eye saie PHUKM !

yep iamwiht u matt phukeum the spelng

The spelling and use of punctuation on car forums is slightly worse the the fashion sense at your average swap meet IMO.

eg " I went there to see there things if I could do so while there at home."

Or it's a bit silly when you can't spell four letter words or use an apostophe in any shape or form.

Spell check isn't rocket surgery is it?

It's not spelling that irks me, but incorrect grammar like "I done that" and "nothink". Urgh.

I just hate everyone equally

Dont care if ya cun spell or not

nice 1 bizzarre

Ho ho hoTwokombies larfed mi selv gidie
But I do think that with a bit of effort we could improve the gramar and spelling, I tend to use a different word if I think I don't know the correct spelling, but I still slip up occasionaly.
Lee, we don't live in the US of A so dump that spelling please, that's the thing that realy makes me mad.
(like you would care if little old me got a dose of the crankies)
Ha, just noticed "importent"

as long as we all speakin good and doin good we must be good??

Guys, I understand about the spelling and how frustrating it can be for what most of us see as simple words. One of the miss spelled words that pisses me off, it the word 'off' when people only use one F. Makes all the difference.

With that said, I can overlook the spelling but the lack of punctuation gets right up my nose. You are reading through a sentence and it doesn't make any sense, then you realise(with an S) that they left out the full stop

Now do we all feel better now after offloading out troubles

if yuo can raed tihs, you hvae a sgtrane mnid, too.
Can you raed tihs? Olny 55 plepoe out of 100 can.

Seen that before but always good

Hi

I hate when people put a long rant into one sentence without a comma, full stop etc, its really hard work to read.

I'm a dumbarse that only just got through year 10, but I try as best as can, but I use Opera as my browser which has a really good spell-checker in it.

I never thought that after leaving school that I would need to use grammar or spelling again or Algebra for that matter, then the net came along and I just had to go and get a computer and get involved.

Steve

well there are days i'm in a daze and who knows how my nose is , but i'll say no to knowing too much. no wonder i wander off too much

Who 'corrected' my spelling, and why?

I finally changed the spelling of important..

it was driving Me crazy..

Lee

Did you not think that it might have been an 'important' part of the message?

O.K., I have a strange sense of humour - can't help it!

Cheers, Greg

Stop doing that!!!!!!!

Hiya Lee,

I always fix mine up if I notice I've done anything wrong because I'm OCD. I'd prefer it if people dont use SMS language when they have a full qwerty keyboard but as far as I know, this is just the internet, not a phd thesis and it doesnt matter at all.

If my wife told me I was an impotent member of the family, I'd probably not like that much though.

Those who think it doesn't matter are, I believe, are the problem. What else do they think doesn't matter?

The use of grammar and syntactic elements aids communication in this "online" context -- adding credibility to one's post.

Language -- particularly the english language -- has been, and continues to be in flux.

Not all of us are writers.

Not all of us have english as a first language and a generation of those that do were done a dis-service via a curricula which didn't teach grammar.

Most are still able get their point across.

We're all into Vee Dubs.

Too true, it is just he internet, but some pride in one's spelling is important IMO.

I suppose it's similar to people who take great delight in driving rat look cars and those who drive them without realising it.

I think that we should learn by all this writing and reading we do, like we learn a bit about our cars from sharing experiences with other dubbers.
