Spelling on this forum

<----- Lives in the wild west. Apostrophes still free roam.

Meybe we havent had are cofeee yet?

LOL! thats what editors is fore.

Lettuce be cereal here.

Its midnite at the oaysis--which means Osaka, in my nek of the woods--so Im tired.

Let Ken spel for me.

*Idea* Yes, Ken should be the community spelchekker alright.

Fabby idea. Think he'll do it?

(I admit to frequent apostrophe abuse and I probably don't edit all of it away, either. *cringe*)

Ok ok, I own the persay. In my defense, I did not have any coffee and I was not wearing my glasses AND I was swiping on a virtual keypad. Back off Willie, I'm still under Caffeinated

Huh.

The other, other wild apostrophes are more egregious than the simple other ones, right?

One could also mention the many your/you're and there/their/they're atrocities committed daily.

But I will admit to occasionally letting slip the wrong form of "its" and making other homophone mistakes. Sometimes there's just a break in the brain-keyboard connection.

Up you're's, Willie

That's ^ the one that drives me absolutely cray-cray!!!!

some of is tyue on tablets or phones wirh thiny buttons and no arrow kwys whoch makes it anpain to go aoback and correct.

You just had to mention this . . .

I hope you like the can of worms ya openeed

(Okay, so it's a fair point, but still. I think people will catch most of their errors, and should be forgiven the rest. It's not like this is their manuscript, and there are so many factors that might dictate why -- tablets, phones, etc. multiply that factor by x1000)

willie, peeps only do that so you and others can get enjoyment from pointing out those errors. Happy New Year, y'all!

When I was in fourth grade I was third runner-up in my elementary school's spelling bee. I was in mortal combat with a bunch of fifth graders and sixth graders until the bitter end, when I finally misspelled a word and got the boot. One fifth grade girl and two fifth grade boys placed ahead of me and went on to the district finals.

For some reason I can't recall the word that got me eliminated. (You know that old saying, "If you can remember the 1970s, you weren't there").
