Sum thyme’s I’m ache Thai pose
Butt eyes up hose
Hats apart off fusing
Come pewter’s. Whirl oozing

Are ebb ill it he two ought toe
Core hector weed rat her
Ma sheens um owe no
how herds chews too gat her

let hers inn us pacific hoarder,
Witch his beater. En dime,
air head squid gills a porter
whose know shaving thyme

Whiff hit snot hunter limed inn read
They’re snow since inn re reed ding
Too Czechs peeling four miss leading
Thinks eye mite half’s ed.

Okay I got as far as some times I make typos
but I suppose that’s part of using computers.

after that I lose it. can’t look at it and not read the words that are there.

This is closer to say Elizibethan English where spelling took a backseat to phonetics (so to speak) and spelling became much more important when the modern language was standardized.

To me mispelling modern English is like fingernails screeching on a blackboard. Grammatical mistakes are more forgivable but mispelling online is not when we have the ubiquitous spellcheck.  I can tell more people are posting from their phones as aurocorrect seems to cause plenty of out of syntax mistakes.

So yes, at least to me- spelling is important…

Link to the second post.

I hate mispelling also; it gripes my a$$. Grammatical mistakes happen too but that is the current state of our education system. I posted this as an amusement.

The Tubercle still wishes we all would resort back to the glorious days of prose.

Irony?

;D

I think spelling is important, but sometimes my finger’s go faster than my brain. :wink:

I hait refferring to ones sef in the 3rd personn so we is even.  :stuck_out_tongue:

Out of respect to the Major, The Tubercle will attempt to refrain. :smiley:

Acutally I will lose all that fancy bookin’ what was learnt up in that there uppity college I attended and commence to a’speakin’ and a’spellin’ like a true South Carolinean ought to.

I don’t know whichin’ will be the worse.

Lucit marisi ergo;
Fortibus es en eros.

See!!? Damn you auto-correct!  ::slight_smile:

See!?  My brain knows there’s no apostrophe in fingers, but my fingers don’t.  Stupid, stupid fingers.

okay watched the video, awesome fred. hurray, you may be a new hero.

I am taking a break from reviewing the transcipts of a deposition I gave.

I remember the whole deposition very well (all six hours).  It is really intersting to see how often my thoughts out-paced my words.  I thought I was a better speaker than that.

Either that, or the court reporter really sucks…  :smiley:

Capitalization is also important:
