Spellings/Misspeling?

The typo errors are easy to explain,but sometimes I have to re-read some posts several times to figure out what they are trying to say.Its easy to just read it before you post it and most of the unintelligible stuff can be fixed. I don't really care that much if you can't spell as long as I can figure out what you want to say.I have noticed though that the worst offenders holler the loudest.
And please excuse my southern accent if it shows up in this post.:)
 
I missed school so never got to learn how to spell, Still get by , problem i have is all the words from over the equator come out upside down on my computer???Least they are not up & down like some countries & English ?/ Derek from nice sunny warm day in NZ
 
I LOVE the new 'Barn format with it's options to edit & delete my postings as needed.

as for intentional misspelling, sometimes I refer to this machine I'm typing on as a "compuker".
(a description borrowed from Archie Campbell on that timeless American classic, Hee-Haw) :p
 
My favorite quote from my favorite T.V. show. "Cops"

"I ain't never no did nothin!" (He He) I think we all can understand someones message.
 
We certainly can't expect perfect spelling and grammar, but what about each of us taking the time to proofread our posts before hitting send? It's simple and catches the majority of mistakes.

Thanks Randy,... So much for the poor "grammar police" who can't understand a post if their is a missplled word in it:rolleyes:.
I hope i diden't make any mistakes:eek:.
 
I don't worry about spelling. I have people that work for me that can spell. ( I make more money than they do ) But when you think about it how do I know if they can spell LOL. Bill
 
I have some friends that are older, younger, higher educated and lower educated than me that are afraid of the computer. They will not touch a computer. I think that most people on Ford Barn are about my age and I can live with spelling and grammar mistakes. I am just glad they are on the site.

Remember in high school when you had to diagram a sentence?

I did not know about the right click.

Based on the sheer number of posts indicated in threads of the first page, this spelling and grammar discussion (with over 50 posts), is far more popular than any discussion regarding Model A Fords. :rolleyes:

When I checked, there were 53 posts with now over 1100 views.

I can only attrubute the increase in views to members that saw I had posted, and wanted to view the importance of what I had to say? :D

OK now, did you just misspell "ATTRUBUTE" to fit into this thread, or was it purely a mistake? :) LOL
 
BTW, I noticed that a couple of the responders were comming down on loumo as being too judgemental, but if you read his opening statement he only asked if some misspellings might be on purpose, as they can be comical.

For instance, if you are talking about "SHIFTING GEARS", but forget the "F", that could imply a painful experience!!!!!
