Isn't it annoying when someone spells something wrong?

I'll admit.... I do spell words wrong, but rarely. When you post a question please check your spelling is all I ask. haha

We all have our standards for spelling,but people must realise that good spelling is the key to good jobs. One of the first things that employers mark your resume on is your ability to spell.
If your spelling is of a sloppy standard,your chance of securing a good job are minimal. Oh ! well,there's always a labouring job that you can apply for,along with the other 200 applicants.

Emptysoul30	Posted Aug 24th, 2009 at 7:32PM Yes. I am also a fan of grammar, and I find myself somewhat irked by the fact that you used the word "wrong" instead of "incorrectly". :) Rated: +6Vote for this!

hurldog	Posted Aug 24th, 2009 at 5:12PM The occasional error is no big deal. It's the mother- #$#@% "texting style" that whips me into a frenzy! ie. im like so LOL'ing right now?/ shud i dump him?/ i WTK is it 2L8? Rated: +3Vote for this!
robyn	Posted Aug 24th, 2009 at 1:20PM it used to bug me a lot. i was a good speller once. in fact, i was pretty snobby about it. then, 3 1/2 years ago i sustained a traumatic brain injury. my spelling and grammar have become mediocre, along with my vocabulary due to loack of oxygen to my brain. i write words like "know" for "no", "there" for "their", etc.. now, someone elses bad spelling doesn't bother me at all.

Roserick22	Posted Aug 24th, 2009 at 12:15PM I've noticed the younger generation can't spell very well. I'm 44 and went to a Catholic school, so they emphasized it alot more. It used to bother me, but now I just go with it Rated: +1Vote for this!
basspla<x>y er	Posted Aug 24th, 2009 at 12:19PM It only bugs me when there is a spell check button an inch away from the send key. Rated: +1Vote for this!
PantyLuva1965	Posted Aug 24th, 2009 at 12:32PM Yes, it bugs me, too. And I'm not even from here. After 12 years in the US I did learn the language and how to spell words. Well, I guess not everybody is good at it, and many may suffer learning disabilities. But it's a matter of education, too. I have noticed the trend of spelling worse by the younger generation as well. Rated: +1Vote for this!
shf84	Posted Aug 24th, 2009 at 12:57PM No not really I could care less if it's in a chat room or something. If it's a book or something that's pathetic. Rated: +1Vote for this!
nighthorse	Posted Aug 24th, 2009 at 2:16PM I hate it when I accidentally click send before I detect an error of my own, because I know people judge one's intellect by their written word. Rated: +1Vote for this!
DreamingOutLoud	Posted Aug 24th, 2009 at 5:24PM Yes it's annoying but I don't think you can really judge someone on that. Some people are very self congest about that. I have a friend who is dyslexic and cannot spell very well and when someone points it out in a bad way she's almost crying. Rated: +1Vote for this!
