Spelling Errors

I'm quite annoyed. I posted a question with my own title. My title got replaced, which I didn't mind, but the title that was placed there, had an obvious spelling error, saying "Want's" instead of "wants". I'm quite dissapointed, as it makes me look like a fool.

If your title was replaced it was probably because the system rejected it as already being used. The mods are human and make mistakes. They do this on a volunteer basis. Its likely that there were dozens to go thru, and an error was made. Someone can and will go in and fix it for you. I'm sorry that you felt that you were made to look like a fool. However you choose to look rude all by yourself. Mal

Um is this what's her name that went ballistic because Irish49 got a comma wrong on your title a couple of weeks ago? If not I want to apologize in advance. But if it is you need to step away from the keyboard and get a grip. My typing is atrocious. But over the years I do the two finger hunt and peck fairly quickly. How ever the concentration I have to use to accomplish this task short circuits my brain sometimes and it doesn't leave my brain with enough processing capacity to always use the right forms of words. Like there instead of they're. I know that they're is a contraction of they are. And I know when and where it should be used. I always go back and try to catch them all but sometimes I don't. And win I do'nt ketch them all I feel like an idiot butt it doe'snt rune my day. I don't think about it much at all. I see other people that I no that no better screw it up sometimes so I no it happens. So git over it if it is the chick from a couple of weeks ago using a knew account. And even if it isn't get over it anyway. For yew too get on hear and make an issue over a spelling or punctuation error makes yough lowk like a bigger ful then the people yew argh taking tew task.

its when you get a PM from a moderator scolding you quite humiliatingly for poor spelling that you should really worry ;P

The bane of this generation...textspeak! heehee I quite agree, Ellie. Speaking of proper grammer, I hate to point this out to you, Jozzie. :) But a word in your posting is also spelled wrong. Dissapointed is actually spelled, "Disappointed". Do you now see, Jozzie..how easy it is to make an error. Try to be more tolerant of that, hun...it displays class and a willingness to be patient and kind to others. Just don't sweat the small stuff. okay?

Spelling errors I can tolerate...but it's when a poster forgets to put a period after the end of a sentence that drives me nuts! A long post, and not a single period throughout! Like some crazy rambling of one's mind or something. And we got to make sense of that??

people who use no punctuation (omg feels like reading stream of consciousness.. except these aren't literary classics) and people who use excessive netspeak make me want to roll my face on my keyboard. and if they use both i'm not even going to read the question.
