The problem is, instead of actually learning words and/or their proper spelling and punctuation... people rely on Spell Check or Google.

There's a difference between retaining information and using it solely for instantaneous results.


They just did a story on this very thing, on the WALB 6 o'clock news. The experts are divided, somewhat.

Some say that spell check makes people lazy, and some say that it actually helps improve people's spelling. I think it ultimately comes down, to the drive , (or willingness to excel) as opposed to those who simply do not have the desire to better themselves.


All I can say is what it has done for me. I do look and take mental notes of the correct spelling. Therefore it has helped me.bigsmile

that definitely skims the surface...communication and word/sentence construction is completely changing with totally pervasive use of text abbreviations


they rule - great time to be interested in the changes of our written language

but I'm weird - I welcome what most loathe - not at all conservative with regards to our evolving written comm.

Language evolves over time, and that's the way it should be.

On the other hand, I'm never going to be OK with "I'm tired of dating loosers."

Just a few of the things I've learned.......You don't have to pay for porn. Unrelated, but helpful, there really is no need to ever wear pants. Spam is no longer only a 'meatlike' substance and comes from Nigeria. I may have just won $5,000,000. I can grow the size of my $%^* 2-4 inches!

I love meeting all the nice people online, but i hate how they always disappear...one of my best friends I met online on a site called sisterwoman...that was 4 years ago and she literally saved me from my colic BABY...we are still great friends..but some of the people especially here delete their accounts all the time..it makes me sad.

I got a family when I came to Mingle.

My mother and father are both gone....

except my dog.

My Mingle family was my support when going through cancer...

I never would have made it without the support I got here.

Mingle is my home and family...

it brought love back into my life.flowerforyou

Well, I need to make the internet bigger. I need to create at least 98 more websites. I have a plan for one, just need a good name for it, now the other 97 are going to be tricky. It's hard enough to come up with one good idea, let alone 97. lol

No coffee, I'll take Coca-Cola though. lol

I have 5 sites up, two are under development still, and two others are in a "growing phase". They moved and upgraded one of my servers, so one of the sites under development has been down for three days and has been up and down all day. They're coming out pretty good though. I might just make one more site and park the rest of the domains. IDK, it's addicting though. lol
