Oh for goodness sakes!





It's OVER!, No more comments about spelling here!!!!

At least not in this thread, OK?

First, if she was a troll, (which has to be a considered a possibility) she (or he) suceeded in sewing a lot of discontent here.

If she wasn't, then she was a lonely person seeking some comfort and advice, not spelling lessons.

Please consider this.
We live in a culture where in many groups correct spelling and grammar are shunned. A time and society where educated people spell "to" or "too" as "2", or before as "B4" and not just in text meesages. By the way, I use abreviations, but I NEVER send text messages in that fashion, out of respect for my language, but mostly out of respect for my parents. English was my Mama's second language, and she rarely spoke anything else.

I am an intelligent, well educated Woman, whose Papa was a Professor in the English Department of a major uni. (Yes, he was a Professor of Literature, but I still feel an obligation to write as best I can)
I try to spell correctly, and still make some awful typos and other mistakes.
I sometimes get sooo embarassed at my mistakes, the ones I find a week later when it is too late to fix them. Plus the posts I make when I am sleepy or worse when I am sipping my third glass of wine. (in vino veritas, so I am still going to post when under the influence)
It only goes to remind us that we are human, for goodness sake!
Besides, if there is a spell check for posts here I have no FREAKING IDEA how to use it. (Mickey taught me Freaking as an alternative to "other words" so I am going to use it a lot)
I have to copy my post into Word, spell check it, then paste it back, and that takes a lot of fun of a rant or just a vent, (like now) or when I am feeling hot and bothered.

What I have found here is an amazing assortment of kind, compassionate, literate, funny, intelligent people, wonderful people who whether you know it or not have helped me through some awful times. You have been my anchor, even part of the "family" I contacted when I had to be evacuated from New Orleans. When we thought we were going to loose Pixies I cried in frustration.
I NEED this place to come to and be nothing but myself, a place where people are at least kind enough to pretend to LIKE the fact that I am a sexually promiscuous, opinionated bitch! I'm a slut, and am liked here anyway. Maybe because of it. I enjoy knowing you are not pretending to like me just to get into my pants!

SO STOP THIS!

Please.


Linda.

thanx every1 4 defending me. an marK, im sorri im knot a goood spellr lik u.

But hey, I can live with that. Just like people have to live with criticism when they are a jerks.

I dont mind being told my spelling/grammer sucks. Truth be told on the INTERNET is does. In day to day life I'm actually an articulate person, I just don’t bother when I don’t have to.

Also if you don't like what you are reading, after the first sentence you shouldn't bother, unless you have some real advice.

Not exactly what I meant by be honest, but thanks anyway.

You know Mark, people often criticize what they dont like in themselves. Do you use your spell check alot?

Shakespeare spelt thing how he felt at the time and how it fitted into his rhymes.

Spelling wasn't set in concrete until Gutenberg got mass printing going.

If I can understand what someone's making an effort to say to me, I am happy.

If I am marking a spelling test, different story.

If the Brits and the Yanks can't agree on spelling, why should we claim to be better?

Give it a break and get back to what we do best.
