Misspelled words are a sign of ignorance or laziness.  Take your choice.  Which are you?

Judging from the amount of time he devotes to expounding on his particular opinions online, I'd say both.  And stop with the personal attacks on Diane.  I don't care who she is or isn't...Low ball tactics are exactly that...LOW.

This was too good not to point out...

Isn't that in itself somewhat raicist?

Notice the spelling of the word "raicist" ?? The correct spelling would be RACIST.  So Wilma, which is it, were you just being lazy or ignorant?

[Wilma]

I was being lazy, thank you.  Check that post again.  I am not above correcting my errors, especially when I am the one that finds them.

(double check)

Hey! I just saw that. That's not nice!  Steve, if you are going to insist on being the local authority on everything, shouldn't you be an authority on spelling too? As a computer genius, which I most certainly am not, why don't you have and use spell check?  I am a very good speller, but I use spell check anyway and do pick up things some times. Occasionally I forget to check and people will catch something and I don't mind at all.  BUT I really resent being called any kind of Nazi.  I have been on here very little for the past couple of weeks, and that is what I come back to? Nice Kansas attitude!

There is one word in the English language that really turns my stomach, makes me crawl all over and I just cannot take any kind of acceptance of it.  That word is Nazi.  Maybe you had to be there, but there was a time that the only thing that word stood for was vile.  There just aren't any words for what that word meant in the early forties and to hear it used now still turns me cold.  The thought that it might return in any form is very disturbing.  I don't think the people that adhere to it these days really understand what it was all about. 

If you have any thoughts that it might be a way of life for you, please read everything you can find that was written in the early forties during the actual time of it and believe it.  My generation is NOT lying about it.

On the other hand -

sometimes spell checker doesn't work - as with From and Form. Sometimes I'll catch it, sometimes I won't because I know what I meant so obviously that's what I wrote when I skim over what I've written.

I do object to the incorrect usage of words: their, they're, there and its, it's and you're, your and two, too, to.
I don't see much sense in pointing them out; I'm not on this forum for English education, just for sharing of ideas.

And then, again, I've been known to misspell my own name!

Wilma -

I was posting the same time you were. I totally agree with the Nazi use.

The first house Jim and I bought was from a woman from Poland, who had had all her fingers broken several times, in several places, because she hid people from the Nazis while in Warsaw. She lost most of her family in the concentration camps and spent some time there herself before being rescued when the war ended. Made a strong impression on me.
