Are you afraid of spell check?

I think it is a combination of the facts that people are in a hurry to get those BEST answers, people that just have poor spelling & grammar skills due to intelligence or language barriers, and flat out laziness.  I am too anal to leave mine unchecked lol.  If I do happen to forget to hit spell check, then notice something is wrong with my post afterwards--I try to go back and fix it.  It makes me nutty to not be able to edit other's posts, to do the same sometimes.  I guess that's why my College Writing professor wanted me to help edit other student's papers lol.

I've asked this question.  Most people just don't care about their spelling, and they claim to be in too much of a hurry to use Spell Check.  They are idiots.

This is a test to see how many people can figure out what I am saying. A lot of people are really hung up on proper spelling. But the human mind can figure it out, as in the example I'm giving you now. \nIt is said that, as long as you have the first and last letter in the proper place that your mind will be able to figure it out.\nWhat do you think??

Would it be too much to ask of you to use proper spelling and grammar?

*checks spelling,punctuation and grammar*\n\nYep,I think so! I do know what you mean though.It doesn't make a very good impression if we look like we can't spell.I hope your question makes an impact!

You don't have to know how to spell - spell checker does it for you.  Takes you away from the world and can make you anti-social.

The real question is:\nWhy don't people use spell check?

Lol u are right it drives me round the bend people have ago at my spelling sometime, but I can't help it coz I'm dyslexic, some peoples first language is English to and there is no spell check there. I dunno how they don't notice that. Sometimes I do type my questions in Microsoft word do a spell check and copy and past it, but sometimes I can't be bothered with that.

I took an editing course and we were given a spelling test to prove that no matter how good you think you are, you always trip up somewhere.\n\nThe words we were given were:\n\nanoint\ncoolly\nsupersede\nirresistible\nall right (or 'alright')\ntyranny\nharass\ndesiccate\ndesperate\nliquify\n\nPresumably they're common, hard-to-spell words.\n\n(I only got 7 out of 10...and I considered myself REALLY good at spelling.)

Yahoo's Spell check only works about half the time, especially on larger answers.\n\nHowever, I totally agree with you.  I am over-whelmed by the degree of spelling and grammar errors. I cannot believe that we would have so many in this single Website!  It shows how poorly kids are being taught today.\n\nI spend half my time on a question trying to understand it and the other half on trying to type my answer clearly and completely.  It seems no one understands the importance of good communications these days.  We all make mistakes from time to time, but this is bad!\n\nWhat an education they are going to get when they go looking for a job.

Crippler,i do so love your style.Answer,no spell check should NOT be automatic either through laziness or lack of education some people have trouble with the spelling.Let me revel in their dumbness please.Oh by the way don't be fooled by "stupid girl" it's my humble way of manipulation.

I don't think I will ever get used to seeing wrong spelling and not getting irritated.  I've been speaking English all my life and it's not even my primary language.  Although I know that this adulteration is a result of us coping with technology and fast paced lifestyle, still, I don't think it's an excuse to murder the language.  Besides, if you keep using shortcuts, you'll get used to it and not remember how it's supposed to be spelled.

I am so glad someone else mentioned this!  I think it's terrible the way some people spell and the grammar they use. It just makes you wonder:  What did they learn in school?  Spell check works sometimes, but not for everything. A majority of the words that are misspelled are not difficult words, either - just ordinary, everyday words!

you need to learn about spellcheck

Um, actually, given your spelling, you shouldn't

my guess would be worse...it allows us to correspond faster and in doing so, we think less about how we're saying what we're saying, coupled with reliance upon spell checkers and grammar checkers, which, at least in the case of spell checkers will only flag a word if it's a non-word, i.e. spelled incorrectly, but will gladly accept the wrong word if it's spelled correctly and in any event may not actually stop the communication being sent, replete with errors though it may be.  Yes, that is a run-on sentence, i've just proven my point.
