If we had a SPELLING COP on here and everyone agreed to forward .25 for every mistake they made , we could give it to Haiti and the place would look like Dubai by October.
Just sayin

Let's go a step further, and charge a dime for each improper use of grammar, (their vs. there) (we're vs were) etc.
Where/were
Sorry, yes, a pet peeve of mine also, but I tolerate it, and I'm not always perfect myself.
There is a good chance I made a mistake just in this post, but I only did that as a challenge to the members to pick it out ( if I did)."Keep the bottle on the bar Ira, I won't be long".

01-25-2010 12:23 AMSo does Chrome, but since I am a perfect speller I never need it.
I like the red underlines on the smilie copy.
Time for the classic:
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

01-25-2010 09:41 AMI am spelling OCD. Can't stand it. But for someone that types an incredible amount, I have no typing skills. So I have to look at the keyboard then check the screen to see what I ended up with. Not the most efficient, I know. Every once in a while I get stuck on a word. My latest is probably. I keep spelling it probabaly. Makes me nuts.
My favorite is Steve 1's random capitalization of some words. It's incredibly distracting- I keep wondering why he has strings of two or three words with the first letters in caps- like it's the name of something. I keep wondering "what the hell is that?".
