Also, the word magic was difficult for me because I lived next door to a Majic Market for about 25 years. Once the "j" got firmly implanted in my brain it was hard to get it out.

Tolerate: For some reason I keep thinking it should be "tollerate".

Double letters or not: Super or supper, diner or dinner, desert or dessert. Sometimes it makes me stop and think.

May have to go back and study your CVC, CVCe, CVVC patterns

You need a period at the end of your sentence, too!

I know the difference between there, they're, their, your, you're, etc. But I still occasionally use them incorrectly when typing. I proofread before posting, but often miss typos in things I've written. It's easier to see mistakes in what someone else has written. For instance, the "i" in your last sentence.

Which one would you use?

1) Also, I noticed he could have done a better job.

2) Too, I noticed he could have done a better job.

Are they both correct?

If the site had good spell check that gave suggestions instead of just underlining in red maybe there would be fewer mistakes.
I really can't see the errors in my posts and if they don't highlight you all will have to consider them a puzzle for you to solve or just ignore my posts.
Fell free to ignore my posts if spelling bugs you, as nothing I have to say is earth shattering anyway.

I think they are both correct. Sometimes you choose one word over another due to the flavor of the sentence--how you want to sound, what words you've already used, etc. For instance, in a paragraph where you have already used "also," using "too" makes for better reading.

I must admit that I am bothered by grammatical errors in posts. But, I
was an English major in college and had grammar drummed into me daily
in grammar school by the nuns, lol. Those two facts might explain my being bothered.
But, then I think that the people who make grammatical errors should not
be judged. They could be the nicest people you could ever meet and they
might be the most helpful people you could ever meet. And I would be very appreciative if I were in need and they helped me.

However, what really bothers me is grammatical errors while speaking.
For instance, I am bothered by people who say "He don't." Do they
ever say "He do not?" I do not understand why they don't understand
that don't is a contraction of "do not."

I also am bothered by people who say "I seen." I have seen is the
correct way to use "seen" or else simply say "I saw."

I try to not let it bother me but sometimes it is hard.

I do not mean to be a snob but I really think that people who
have graduated from high school should know when to say
"don't" and when to use the word "seen."

Sea speeling really duz knot matter......Read the passage below....Good example of a Brain Study: If you can read this OUT LOUD you have a strong mind. And better than that: Alzheimer's is a long, long, ways down the road before it ever gets anywhere near you.


To my "selected" strange-minded friends:
If you can read the following paragraph in RED andBLACK below, forward it on to your friends and the person that sent it to you with 'yes' in the subject line. Only very good minds can read this. This is weird, but interesting!
