I am HEAR to complain about those who like QUITE nights in front of the fire, don't like TO many tattoos, and spell every other word wrong on their profile.

Spellcheck will get you a much more intelligent set of responses! Literacy is sexy!

Ooooh boy, here we go again....

You're gonna get some unkind remarks sent your way friend.



My FAVORITE of ALL TIME is the profile (on another site) that opened with the line:

"I'm intelligent, if your not don't bother"

C'mon, THAT'S funny!

It was a phrase from a song. I have very good spelling and grammar before someone jumps on me.

when you're typing something in your profile a red line will appear if something is misspelled and if you move the cursor on top of the word and right click it will give you a list of words that it thinks you are trying to use and you just pick the right one!....Ta da!....Sometimes though if the word is spelled too wrong then you have to keep trying with different combos until it gets the one you are really trying for....

What gets me is no one seems to know the difference between "loose" and "lose," or that apostrophes are used in possessives and contractions, but almost never in plurals.

I mean, this is 4th grade stuff.

"Literacy is sexy!" You would think so. I would LIKE to think so. But in a context where a significant proportion of users can't define (or spell) literacy, the whole premise loses a lot of its potency! They have to be able to recognize and identify it before it can be interpreted as sexy!

Sorry, this is a huge pet peeve of mine....!

:wink:
