I am not the best speller in the world. Some of my mates are terrible, but i still love them. My wife is ok, I still love her. I don't judge people on how good they are at spelling. Surely there are more important things to worry about.

Annals (Latin Annales, from annus, a year) are a concise form of historical writing which record events chronologically, year by year.Quote:

However I do have an opinion regarding this.
I try to spell correctly because it's the right thing to do! I am not talking about correctly spelled words being mistyped because of rushed typing/inattention/fat fingers etc, as this happens and almost always the meaning of the word and contxt of the sentence is still very clear. (here's an example I haven't bothered to correct:) as contxt still conveys the message.)
I get more annoyed at people who make words up as this tends to leave me to interpret what I think they mean, rather than them concisely telling me in written form what it is they want me to get from the text!
In most cases I can interpret made up words (yes, thort is a made up word) but some times it is hard to nail the context.
I remember a funny incident that happened when my wife and I first married, she wrote me a note reminding me to get some butter from the supermarket on my way home. We had always used margarine so I thought, no worries, she wants butter so I purchased butter. She then informed at home that she couldn't remember how to spell margarine so wrote butter instead safe in the knowledge that I would know what she meant!
Point is, she may as well have written 'shizzledinkle' as I had to interpret what she wanted instead of the text being clear.
Just my 10c

4x4 action is shocking.
The only ones that really annoy me are 'looser' and 'splet'. I love the irony when people say "You spelt that wrong".
Personally I think grammar on here is more important than the occaional spelling error. You can usually read through a few spelling errors, but reading a 2 paragraph post which is one sentance is hard.
