OT My postings

[EvilKing00]

Guys Just an FYI in case you havent noticed already,(lol) Im a pretty bad speller, rofl, but can do just about everything else very well but spelling just isnt my thing, so with all my posts so far and all the posts to come, here is my apology. (apology spelled correct)

I can figure them out, I just wince a little bit when I see them. Spelling takes practice and the English language isn't always easy. I used to correct bad spelling on the board and got pilloried for it, so these days I just let it go. It's an acquired skill I guess.

Methinks "Piedmont" is also still messing you up!
Happy collecting,

Spelling and grammar are improved through care and practice. If you don't care, it won't improve. Be aware that an army of misspelled words presents an impression about your level of intellect (whether true or not). No apology needed for an impression.

Shouldn't the title of this thread be

"OT My pastings"?

I would agree that if you dont care it wont improve, (and im just too old now to start lol) though i would disagree that misspelled words reflect at all on a persons intellect. I can tell you that i had gone to a very good private grammer school grades 1-8, a top 10 private high school, and a good private college in NYC. Most if not all my work was done on a computer , ie spell check. I have also run a few successful businesses. I never needed to really learn spelling or use it in anyway.

But i can say that a knowledge of math, business, manipulation (people skills)and logic can reflect heavilly on ones intellect.

Jeez , talk about hitting a nerve.....two-shay.

I am more likely to overlook typos than poor grammer. By the time I was supposed to be taking a typing class in high school, I had discovered girls or beer or maybe reefer. Come to think of it it might have been all three. Typing was the first class of the day, so it suffered.

Sorry, but it should be "apology spelled correctly". It is an adverb as it is modifying a verb - spelled. Correct is an adjective which modifies a noun; ie. 'It is correct.'
