Bad spelin'

That is why some use Fat Fingers Link

I'd never seen that before - added now to my bookmarks

Some people like my also have a disability. I know I make some stupid mistakes sometime, like the virginity (vignetting) of the lens but that was the spellings checker that didn't understand me

I'm classed as someone who has a heavy form of dyslexia. By the way, the moron who thought that was a great word for that disability needs to be shot. I seriously needed to study that word before I could write it right

Have more members here a disability regarding words, grammar, etc?

(all written without a spellings checker :wink

Edit: used the dutch word gramatica instead of grammar

Never Mind Stefan. I have a Sunderland dialect and people don't understand what i say never mind what i write

What's the fuss about not everyone is perfect, at least they are trying. English is my second language and if I make a mistake, so be it, I’m not perfect and loving it!!
(Sometimes I need to spell check things)

Spelling it as snle, might be considered dyslexic. Spelling it lense, is just lack of education. It is a single syllable, four letter word for goodness sake! It should not be possible to leave twelve years of state education and not be able to spell lens, correctly.
I'm not talking about people who's first language is not English.

Yes, I am a grumpy, conservative old fart.

Laziness comes into it somewhere too. Personally, if a poster can't be bothered to start each sentence with a capital letter, or worse, not bother with any punctuation, then I can't be bothered to read it.

Genuine spelling mistakes and typographical errors are common and forgiveable.

Of course, it doesn't help that we have one the most difficult languages in the world to work with. Their, there, they're ? ? ?

Umm … what about spelling whose correctly?

Don't you just hate double negatives ?

Oh my Gawd! .. You're right, wasleys.

I'm a grumpy, conservative and illiterate old fart!


Edited for clarity.

Yes, but that isn't one.

No you might be wrong there, like Gwyn said "Probably because it is a soft 's' so people assume it must have an e after it (like cleanse)."
I really make the most stuppid mistakes sometime only because I write what I hear, that's why words with a C or X are quite difficult for me, also D and T are a problem sometimes. It's not the lack of education but the lack to see it really.

Although I don't think that the number of people with dyslexia has exploded so much in the last past years. Those teens hardly read any books anymore and are using those MSN languages all the time that they just don't know how to spell it anymore.
It's the same with my handwriting, it simply sucks only because I hardly write anything since we have a computer.

You haven't even tried our language, English is piece of cake

It might be an idea if we only would talk in our native language for a day just to see what will happen to the forum

Yes, it is but he said it correctly

Edit: Added a capital letter and comma just for Peter.

Oh no it isn't.

A double negative would be something like 'I'm not talking about no people'.

Really? Two instances of 'not' in a sentence that could be resolved without them.
