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 scratchI personally find that alot of the spelling issues, are kinda like, haha, "I can spell, you can't, dummy" type things, It'd be like me laughing picking on you because you can;t set up a diff.
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"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
, 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
, some can't write, let alone spell
By the way, I'm NOT a mechanic, 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',

, flying fox yea
) 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??
