Oh, folks, it's so depressing to see how many of you are spelling the simplest of words wrong. I know your, (oops, you're) smarter than these errors show. They're, their, there....you're, your.... etc. It's just one of my pet peeves and I had to address it. i feel better now!

I once read somewhere...

"If you can find mistakes in this publication, please consider they are there for a purpose. We publish something for everyone and some people are always looking for mistakes."

Ain't nobody perfect. Ain't no reason to try. We are seniors and no one is grading our papers. Don't make no difference no how.

You are a good person Borjo. But there are some with dyslexia and some that are good spellers. Some are athletes and some are not. Some are smarter than others and some are kinder than others and some people have everybody fooled and some people have nobody fooled.

We is what we is.

A reader may find it difficult to follow the train of thought of a writer if he encounters more than a couple of obvious typographical spelling errors. Spelling errors are distracting and hijack a reader's focusing on content. Furthermore, spelling errors tend to reduce a reader's opinion of the writer's intellect.

As a related observation, some posts are so replete with grammatical errors that a reader may simply give up on trying to understand what the poster is attempting to present.

I have an old friend who used to complain about all the "errors" in emails she received from old friends. After discussions she finally realized it was nicer to receive the contact from old friends than it was to criticize the correspondence.
Personally, I can figure out what someone is trying to say and would not want them to stop writing.

with borjo. No matter where you're writing you should always put your best foot forward. I think it shows your lack of effort in elementary education. Try reading books more often, you can learn a great deal.

You're making one heckuva blanket statement here: those who misspell didn't try in school and don't read books. Wow.
