Jest and the misuse of Sell

[Eric Cartman]

Learn to spell it will help you later in life! That is no jest

QFT

Then / than and effect / affect are two that drive me nuts. I can understand if English is your second language, but if it's your primary language, then learn it for Jebus' sake! It's just not that difficult.
Thye vast majority of job postings that I see that require "good communication skills" or something to that effect (not affect damn it!). The inability to make proper use of the language will hold you back in life.

Just read a book or two, it'll start to rub off on you.

The fact that this has really caught on as well makes me sad. I was hoping that it would blow over really fast. Plus when people type "teh" on purpose.

Would you prefer "true dat" ?

Don't worry, it'll blow over eventually. Acronyms don't bother me nearly as much as complete lack of punctuation and capitalization.

I type "teh" by accident all the time, that and "fro", yet I seem to type "form" instead of "from". I usually make the effort to catch those.

If miss spelling bothers you that much I must tell you now that having kids will cause you hell.

My kids won't be as stupid as you, that's for goddamn sure.

I see that and I can only think one thing:

"They obviously don't want to make any effort to communicate with me, why should I make any effort to comprehend them and communicate back?"

Typos are forgiveable.
Resonable use of abbreviations is aceptable.
The odd mis-spelling isn't that big a deal.
Typing like a dyslexic on speed when in chat - doesn't interest me at all.

Doing it when you have the luxury of delay and your words will be immortalised on a forum: unforgiveable.

Excusing laziness and ignorance in spelling or grammar when it's pointed out: pathetic.

...Speech impediments don't make people retarded. Or are you the exception?

I don't think speech impediments can be carried over to typing errors can they?

What drives me absolutley insane is when people say they "loose" things as opposed to "lose" things

and people who want to sell there Angels on here


but spelling Cananada will always be fun

[frop]

and people who want to sell there Angels on here

No, they don't sell 'Angels', they sell 'Angles'.

[Jaan]

What bugs me is the use of "selenid" and "selenoid."


IT'S SOLENOID!!!!!!!!!!

Or hipsters saying "Noid" so they can sound 1337 (c:

Why can't people figure out that you are is abbreviated "you're" ???

I was at Ozzfest last year with a friend who's drop dead gorgeous. Some fat bear guzzling mullet heads were in the parking lot with a sign that read "Show You're [chest]". When one of them yelled "Hey come on baby wooohoo" (or words to that effect) she just turned to them and said "I would if you knew how to spell, that doesn't make any sense!"

She sure showed them.

What a prude.

Edit: Although, she is probably one of those "bear guzzlers". Think about it.

No, they don't sell 'Angels', they sell 'Angles'.

See I misspelled the misspelling

It's somewhat interesting that the spelling on forums really bugs me, and english is my third language...
