pigeonmomParticipantI could not function without some sort of spellcheck. Google Toolbar has one, Yahoo as well. Internet Explorer and Firefox also have spellcheck apps built in. Just a friendly suggestion. :-)

AnonymousInactivePidgeonmom. Thanks for the suggestion. I am using an old computer and windows 98 I think. My nephew says that I can’t do everything I should because the computer is so old and this windows is also very old. I guess I could type in word pefect then check spelling, then paste in here then post. Sorry for all the goofs. I’m not a very good typer.

rockergirlMemberWhen you type in the box to post something if you spelled something wrong it show up in RED on my computer – is it this way for others? Makes me aware if I have a typo so I can correct it.

AnonymousInactiveI have to look at the key board when typing, so I guess I don’t always catch the typos when I’m done. I will try to do a better job of typing so I don’t annoy people.

JanSParticipantNaturalMom…it’s not annoying anyone..honest :)
Perfection is illusive…no stones should be thrown by anyone ;-)

celeste17ParticipantEspecially by me. I am a horrible typer. I have to look at the keyboard. And on top of that I am on a lap top whose keys are small. Of course when I am on my phone the keys are even smaller. :)

Bikefor1MemberThey’re not simple typos. Some are gross grammatical mistakes. When did apostrophe + s become an acceptable way to pluralize nouns? As in NOUN’S? Arrrgggghhhh. (You know who you are)

AdamOnAlkiParticipantTo err is human, but when someone makes multiple egregious typos in a message, e-mail, forum-post or what have you, it losing them a lot of credibility, in my mind. They might be smart people, but when they fail to proof-read and/or double check spelling and grammar, it just makes me think less of their opinion. Right or wrong, it is what goes through my head.
HEEEEYYYYOOOO!!!!!!!!!

AnonymousInactiveI guess we’ve gone back to judging a book by its cover. I thought we moved beyond that in this country, but apparently I am misstaken.

CatPMemberWhen are y’all going to stop feeding the troll?

Bikefor1MemberNatural Mom: we’re judging the content, not the cover.
CatP, to which troll are you referring?

andreaParticipantthank you pigeonmom for posting this.

JiggersMemberI’m just lazy and stupid. I bet people don’t know how to write in cursive anymore because of technology, it’s a long lost art form of writing. Plus my chin gets in the way when I look down to view my keyboard so I miss hit a lot.
May 4, 2009 at 5:50 pm #665953
AnonymousInactiveJiggers. I am so glad you chimed in because you are so funny. Thank you for the giggle and making me smile.

beachdrivegirlParticipantI make lots of typos on the forum b/c i dont think of it as an professional environment. I dont make typos in business or professional situations. I think typos on a forum is acceptable b/c many of us are hurrying in our typing b/c we have other things to do than to sit here for hours on end perfecting our posts to put others down.
And to answer someones question about the red line showing up under errors while in the box- no that doesn’t show for me. And I am to d**n busy to type something in word to post on the forum.

ZenguyParticipantSome of the errors have been pretty funny Freudian slips though.

KeithMemberI don’t mind an occasional typo… it can happen to anyone… but my biggest punctuation pet peeve… hmmm… how should I put this?
Don’t want to point any fingers… or make anyone feel bad about it… it’s common here and elsewhere… and I hope that one of our most kind and prolific posters in particular won’t take this personally… because maybe it’s just me… but… when I’m reading some of these posts with a whole lot of ellipses… it just… takes me… forever… because every time I see “…” I read it as a long, trailing pause… when maybe it could just be a comma… or a period.
So I would propose to our ellipses enthusiasts: try out a comma, or a period. Think of the time you’ll save not having to hit that key two extra times, every time! And please don’t hate me.

JanSParticipantKeith, I am guilty as charged. I will do my best to cut it out :)

ErikParticipantI can stutter at times.
