Does it bother anyone else that so many responses are filled with bad spelling

Thank you both for your input. I really wasn't speaking about people from other areas as much as I was English speaking. I guess I should have been more specific in my question. I told you I was new at this. My first poopoo. First of many I would guess. Stick with me - I will learn. thanks

Thanks dopey22girl. I am glad to see it bothers someone else. I guess I take to much pride in myself to appear like I don't know how to spell. I understand about being busy and trying to hurry, but that really isn't an excuse as others seem to get it right. Thanks for the imput and happy myloting to you.

I have one friend however this pertains to your topic more than my other post is that when she spells the word divorce, she spells it divorse. this really really bugs me because she was an honor Student in HS and taking college corses her Sr. year. I've also argued with one person about how to spell stupid, they spell it stoopid. There are more but I'm not pondering them right now.

Thanks Andrea, I to get a little upset when I see silly things like you mentioned. It seems some one with that kind of education would no how to spell stupid.

Thank you for your response. I agree that I sometimes have a hard time finding discussions to respond to.

Hang in there Magiel. I never thought about tje fact that the poor spelling would make it even more difficult for some one who is trying to learn a second language. I guess our responsiblily is to try to get it right so others like you will learn. Nice response. Thank you.

Sorry - mistyped the - what next?

oops misspelled another work. Can you find it?

Didja use a dictionary to see that applaud doesn't end in an 'e'? And I type 'didja' on purpose as a shortcut. Any fool can understand what is meant by 'didja'. Applaud does not have an e -- we native writers ought to provide a good example to people trying to learn our most difficult language; rather than pointing fingers at them but overlooking our own shortcomings. Doncha think?

I guess since you didn't have anything constructive to add to this discussion you decided to pick me apart to make an extra penny. Thanks for the response

I applaude you. Thanks for responding.

Thank you so much for your response. I agree with you 100%.

Thanks for responding. I agree that a spell check would help everyone. But most of all it would help non english speaking members to learn to read and write it. Maybe if we keep asking they will eventually put one in.

The abbreviations really get to me. I don't think I could ever use text messaging. When I was taking a course in shorthand I had problems with it because I was so picky about spelling.

Thanks for responding. I don't think any of us mylotters are that critical of people from other contries (although) I will again say that if they are going to participate with an English discussion it my behoove them to use and English dictionary. But I think we all agree that it is the obviously lazy ones that make us want to scream. Leave the text messaging to cell phones.

Thank you. Point well taken. I have never had so many people think I was perfect before. Gosh!

I mean people in this dicussion. Not life in general. My family and friends sure don't think I'm perfect but they sure do love me a lot anyway.

Thank you for your response. This is basically what I was talking about. I guess I assumed that people would know I meant English speaking. My mistake.

This is going to sound snotty, I just know it is. But sometimes you have to practically spell it out for some people. I would have assumed people knew you weren't picking on those of a different language.

Thank you. I was beginning to feel beat up on. And I have just started trying to start some discussions today. Guess I picked the wrong topic. I suppose it would be stupid of me to ask about peoples pet peeves huh? hehehehe

That is a good thought. I guess if I were going to post things on a site that was not my own language it might be a good idea to have a dictionary of that language handy. English is a hard language and some words have several meanings but one letter wrong can give you a whole new word and completely different meaning. Thanks for your response

You are welcome.

Thank you for responding. Even though English is difficult wouldn't you think they would at least get a dictionary? If I were to try to communicate on a site that did not use my native tongue I think I would at least have a dictionary so that I could not only check the words others are using so I could understand them, but I would also use it to make sure not only that I have spelled it right but that I am using the right word to convey my message. I guess if they are just in here to make a little money they don't care much about being correct. I on the other hand don't have time for their dribble. I am enjoying the conversations and new friends I am making so I will continue to try to make my responses readable. Again, thanks for responding

Yes, that is true, but i am just as guilty as the next, i will be so quick to respond and not pay attention till i get ready to post and then i realize it....but it happens :)

You are brilliant. This would seem such a small way to help the Mylot community communicate better. And as you say would be so beneficial to the ones who don't have a good grasp on the English language. Great response. Thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is an excellent point and I guess one of the ones I was trying to get across. Thank you so much for responding.

Thank you for your response. If it doesn't make sense what are we to think? Thanks for your response.

I can so relate Laurika. Sometimes my mind is moving faster than my fingers and if I slow down to much I lose track. Thanks for the great response

You seem to do A OK. Thanks for responding.

Thank you for your support. I don't text message so I am not familiar with their short cuts. I guess this new age generation has to tolerate old foggies like me. Thanks for your response
