Josie Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 LOL, no wonder we do such an awesome job deceifering everyone's mistakes in the chat. And here I thought it was just habit or us making so many mtsikeas ourselves that we were use to it. Boy was I fooled, it is all that wonderful mind the Lord gave me... That was great Ben. Thanks for keeping us informed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dror Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Ben, that is cool, and it is amazing that one can read what you wrote without (too much) trouble. Try reading a book that way, however! Still, it boggles the mind that one can make out that stuff with just the first and last letters being correct! Wow!

Guest MrsS Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 It is amazing how one can read that, but personally I got a headache from it. I have to decipher handwriting/ typing all day long where I work. Emails, written letters, even manuals. Believe me there is more incorrect spelling and grammer than you would believe. On your Word program there is the best tool that MS has yet to invent. It is Grammer Check. Not only does it check your spelling, but it also checks your grammer and offers suggestions (depending which upgrade you have) It also tells you what reading ease and grade level your document is at. When I get emails, or attachments that boggle the mind, I copy and paste it to Word, then do a spell/grammer check. I then 'correct' it, and read it again. Helps tremendously! Spell check is wonderful, as long as you don't use a sound alike for what you mean. Strait for straight. Diner for dinner, etc. Some days I go home from work with a killer headache from the bad spelling and poor grammer. <<<Rant On>>>One thing that really sets me off are the silly abbreviations that are used in chats and sometime on the posts. pple, u, r, and such. Come on, write out the entire word. To me it is just lazyness. Okay, <<Rant Off>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no better place for me to start cleaning up my act than here! Love Sunny :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
