I just don;t think badgering someone about spelling, or expecting them to occupy more time useing a spell checker is really warranted

OK, let me start by admitting that at first I wondered about your country of origin or at least the country of origin of your name. I did eventually figure out that you were a sparky.:)

In spite of the fact that we might disagree about the importance of spelling, I agree with you that belittling someone because of their spelling is unacceptable. None of my posts has been written with that intention.

However I do think it is acceptable to disagree with someone or even criticize them if they claim there is nothing they can do about their spelling and that it doesn't matter anyway.

I don't intend my comments about spelling to sound like badgering, and in fact I think most of them (I hope all of them) have been general in nature rather than a criticism of an individual.

While it is not always the case, there are occasions when it would be worthwhile for a poster to spend a few seconds using a spellchecker. Sometimes it makes it much easier for the reader and in some cases it even eliminates the possibilty of misinterpretation.

Actually if you are using Firefox, you don't actually spend time using the spellchecker. All you have to do is notice the words that are underlined in red as you type.

I think the two are different as making fun or pointing out that somebody can't spell is having a go at either their intellect or education. I'm forever getting laughed at for my lack of knowledge when it comes to things mechanical...read mates......or handy man......I only really became a "man" in the missus's eyes when she saw me put up a fence from scratch :D.

Your dead right, experiance in a particular field makes things easy, I failed year 10 then left, all my learning was done in trade school, I've been called pragmatic, omnipident and all sorts of crazy words by linqual people and then they laugh because I don;t know what they mean until I look them up, (yes I see the irony), but how often do I use the weathers, there they're theyeyriel, or big words in general, it is not often

Everybody has talents, just some aren;t spelling, I just don;t think badgering someone about spelling, or expecting them to occupy more time useing a spell checker is really warranted

And some people are just stupid:(, i work with them every day, some of these people stand at machines for years and still have no idea how they operate:angry:, seriously, you drive a car, everyday, one day it doesn;t want to move, you get a mechanic to check it out, only to find you've left the handbrake on..........seriously, that's what its like:eek:, some can't write, let alone spell

By the way, I'm NOT a mechanic:angry: Iza Lektrishan:D

Bolded part, yeah on occasion whether here or elsewhere if the content is that poorly worded or littered with spelling mistakes, then yes, I will move on to something I can read. However, would never intentionally raise that issue with an individual as that would be pretty rude. Aside from SWMBO who I occasionally correct on how and when she uses the word "seen" :), it would be like correcting someone in a conversation of their usage of a particular word...or how they have used it. I would think the average person would find that a) pretty rude and b) highly insulting...especially if others were around........aside from c) mates who regularly take the 'mickey',

Only found out myself a couple of months ago, simplest way for me to explain ( as technical is too hard:angel:) is that it is like a different type of Internet Explorer..but called Firefox. Umm, ok, a different browser for using the internet. I'm sure someone will come along and explain it better than I can. Also where is the spell checker anyway, it never corrects my errors??
