learning spelling from mylot

Even with the trend of text words or text speaks, I still prefer spelling the full word. I often get teased on by my colleagues because they say I text like someone who is new to text messaging. I just nod and smile; maybe it's just me or I am just not fond of doing shortcuts and still prefer the proper spelling. I have younger siblings that are still in school, so I guess that is one of the major reasons why I have to use the proper spelling all the time, have to set a good example as the eldest sister.

Yes i do have noticed. Now a days people have forgotten the original spelling because everybody is having a habit of short messages thru sms on mobile while chating on net. Anyway whatever you are doing is good. I am not against the short cuts but proper care should be taken as to our English language is not spoiled.

Riyau, indeed Mylot is a good place for you to learn to upgrade your English. Try to spend more time in here and i am sure you will be able to improve your English. I saw quite a few foreign friends who said they had improved their English writing through here as well. Hope you will be able to improve your English as well.

Same here I used to use shortcuts a lot before i joined here now even when i am at facebook i usally don't use shortcuts well thanks mylot for this

Sms really messed us up - it makes us dumb =). I used to be really good in spelling too. But now there were days that I have to stop and think if what I typed in or wrote down is correct or not. =) I do think that if we keep on writing blogs, participate on discussions here on mylot - then it'll really be a great help for us to be good in spelling again.

Yes that is true. i am thankful to mylot as well. Mylot helps me practice my english actually. Here, I have to use the correct spelling unlike in other social sites like facebook! Happy mylotting.

Well thats awesome to hear that mylot is helping with your spelling along with earning you money that is a definite bonus. I do annreviate some words such as definitely I write def. It is just faster to write that and sometimes the spelling of it confuses me so I will abbreviate it. Some people prefer texts to be written out and not write u for you but I try to make the texts written as short as possible so I shorten things when I can.

Hi for me I can not rally text i aways get it wrong and my spelling and grammer has always been bad and my hobbies is writing short stories with mylot and other site like this it going to help me with my spelling and gramer then hope fully i can sell my stories on line by ebook style.

Yes. we can learn words with which we are not familiar. Further I was advised by a member not to use sms language while replying. So we have to write with correct full spelling for words. I learnt and remembered the following words from mylot disucssion--diktat--i am not remembering other words readily.

Yes, I do believe myLot has and always will be an excellent teaching tool to help me improve by thoughtfulness and creativity. I also try to work with sentence flow and just an easy acceleration of my ideas, so that my college writing can hopefully be easier to improve. I'm using myLot to help me with typing and I will then be very prepared for college research papers! I can't wait lol, I sound really nerdy but I'm proud to be a myLot member!

I think my age is the reason why I do not know how to use most of those short cuts. I have to learn how to understand them when I receive messages with some of those. My kids know this; so they have to spell out their messages to me properly if they are tired of me asking what do their messages mean...

Yes I started to do that too but now i'm getting better working hear and two more web sites. My spelling are getting better.

Well that's good that you have learned to spell again. I never used shortcuts as I couldn't stand them at times. I don't mind people using a few but I don't really use them myself

I do too. You mean write, right? Often i see my mistakes when I have posted it and it's embarrassing sometimes. But of course, I learned from it.

I've really gotten used to using short forms due to text messaging or emailing, however I know that I shouldn't really become lazy like this on mylot because a lot of people may not know what I'm talking about and I want my discussion to make sense.

a pleasant day to you riyauro, with regard to what you have posted, that is a pretty good thing to know. well, due to the evolution of technology on sending messages via mobile phones, words are being cut and forwarded in a short cut way. as a result, words are being misspelled now a days. and almost all people are doing this. but, i guess, we still should remember how to write the correct spelling.

hi riyauro! hi i also notice it even though i am writing i try to used also short cuts but for now because of mylot honestly i was able to correct my spelling and as well as the short cut and the grammar this is all about mylot helping us :)

That is nice. Yeah, the technology of some sites and even short messaging through cellphones nowadays diverts correct spelling out of the minds of the young generation. Shortcuts and a different language is being made through them. Good thing that you are getting rid of that habit now. Be sure to always remember the correct spelling and way of communicating.

I did many mistakes here due to the short cuts text I used to chat using my mobile application and all members in chat rooms were using short cuts text that influence me till now

Mylot is really a good place to learn English. I remembered I once chatted with a man from European country, I wrote the full sentence, right spellings, after a while I got a message from him,"You are so dull." Maybe it's because I don't know how to use "short cuts".
