"When I See a Spelling Error/Typo in Someone Else's Post..." Topic

Where is the " I don't care. " response?

I dunt' cair, eethur.

What does fnord mean please?

There are no sensible options in this poll.

Where is the " I don't care. " response?

It's fnord.

fnord for me, except when I see people use "lay" when they should use "lie"; for some reason that just irks me.

Some TMP Guy: well I was just laying around when this idiot started talking to me about my grammar

The Idiot (aka me): what were you laying, eggs? something called a "round"? Constipated poop particles?

I do it in real life too at meetings, even when someone senior to me does it.

I haven't yet found a medication that suppresses this… They can suppress my immune system, why can't they suppress irrepressible outbursts?

All of the above: does that mean all of the answers are only those above this option?

Too many of the self-appointed TMP Speling, and, Grammer FAcscists ignore the Cardinal Rule. You MUST make a similar eerror in pointing out there's.
Remember that only God is perfect, and while it is an act of peity and charityto point out too others their mistakes, irony demands that you air also.

This rule does not apply when pointing out apostrophe abuse.

Yeah, spelung isnt very importent is it.

This is a real flyer, that came through a real letter box (several, in fact).

How much work do you reckon he got afterwards?

Free Astamints!

Having been a public school teacher, I used to start ranting about the downfall of civilization on a daily basis. This is still the case given the Science Fair I judged last week. I eagerly await to be disappointed when I judge a speech and debate contest tonight and tomorrow.

Free Astamints!

All ways the deel clinchur!

I have no recollection of starting this poll. I am, however, glad that I didn't make any significant spelling errors.

Any idiot can spell, punctuation is an art.

If the writer communicated his point, he succeeded, who cares if it was correct? Especially if they are writing in a second language.

Any idiot can spell

I beg to differ, see my previous post.

I keep checking to see if the text has somehow changed to free assmints…

It has not.

However, in answer to the question.
I don't give a monkey's.

Where is the " I don't care. " response?

English *is* a ridiculous language to spell.

Is this the "English 101 Page" or is this TMP? I went to Japan and noticed they spelt "tyre","tire".
Those kids at public school, ask them to update their face book page, or link a photo to a contact, Skype each other or put a reminder ringtone to your birthday on their iPhone.
I used to think about the downfall of civilization, but the evidence does not really stack up. It's at worst neutral. Sure speech and debate contest MAY not be as good now as it was. However, I hope that you can see other areas where the kids today excel at thing we never dreamt of.
English, unlike French

I haven't yet found a medication that suppresses this… They can suppress my immune system, why can't they suppress irrepressible outbursts?

It's called Thorazine!

I have no recollection of starting this poll.

I know how you feel.

So … one of the better Super Bowl commercials was the dog, burying a cat, and offering the owner a bag of chips so that he "didn't see anything."

That's how I approach posts on TMP. This is a casual place for exchanging information. If you can spell, great. If you miss a few bits, okay, fine. This isn't a place where Strunk & White should apply. Think telegrams, not thesis papers that will earn you a PHD after your name.

Anyway, I ignore any errors I find, and on the flip side, I hope others ignore any errors I make.

Where will you be with your fancy schmancy email and texting cell phomes and Skype when the Iranians and Norks nuke the living bejabbers out of our unshielded electronic communications?
You will be wishing you knew how to spell and punctuate, that's where you will be! I wonder if anyone will have the patience to teach you how vto hold a pen properly.

And we old farts will once againe rule the world!
If my knees don't give out first.

English *is* a ridiculous language to spell.

L'anglais est une langue ridicule pour connaître l'orthographe. Et aussi prononcer.

Mais oui.

I would also like a translation of the 'fnord' option.

Connard – I would hire your driveway feller. He is probably Polish and therefore will probably do an excellent job in double quick time for peanuts……

fnord is it

Ah, the ITA. A 45 letter 'alphabet' designed to simplify a 26 letter alphabet.

Genius.
