AND THATS A DICTIONARY thats spelt D-I-C-T-I-O-N-A-R-Y

Seriously the spelling around here is absolutely terrible...

Examples i have seen like such words as

SLEEP - spelt as: sellp / slep
WEIRD - spelt as: wierd
(This is a fun one) APOCALYPSE - spelt as: apoclypse / appoculyps
AGITATED - spelt as: adjitated
EXPLANATION - spelt as: explination

And it goes on and startin to become annoyin....i just can't believe how many of you just CAN'T SPELL...sort it out

:D I mean it all in a nice way

Dayle, you have your moments just as well. For example, just in the post that you're trying to preach to everyone about using a dictionary, you say "annoyin" instead of "annoying." That's quite hypocritical, I must say. I do agree, though. The spelling and grammar around here is horrible.

You know...annoying is not spelled annoyin :).

And maybe a grammar book should be bought.

STARING-STARTIN

"Startin" should actually be "starting." Dayle, you're (yes, "you're," not "your") such a hypocrite...

i have a feeling that he was typing in short hand. just because he said something like startin dosnt mean he didn't know how to spell starting. he probably shouldn't have done that if he was complaining about stuff like that. it could have been a typo too. but yet not that big of a deal. am i feeling another grammer competition?

It's "grammar," not "grammer."

I love the irony of this thread.

People also really need to learn the three forms of to, too, and two.

"To" is used when you're referring to a place, person, or thing, to something else. It may also be used to activate verbs. i.e. You are going to the store. It is better to run, than to walk.

"Too" is used when you're referring to quantity. i.e. I am hungry, too. That is too much.

"Two" simply refers to the number 2. i.e. You have two apples.

I'M AT HOME NOT SCHOOL!!! I type in short hand on the internet. i.e. 2 b cuz l8r wat. dosn't mean i dont know how to spell this stuff. i know the to too and two's and the there their and they're and how to use them, but stuff like grammar and grammer? i just dont use that word very often. i'm sure there will be something wrong with what i just typed. i do know how to spell this tho. *****ES!!! oh and "Too" isn't just for quantity, it's also to show also. i.e. I am hungry too. (lol) i want to go too.

"To" is used when you're refering to a place,[/i]
it isn't "refering" it's "referring"

type how you like, just it gets frustrating when you're reading through posts that seem to be written by someone still in playschool
