Default PEOPLE ALWAYS MOAN ABOUT SPELLING, WELL YOU NEED TO READ THIS

fi yuo cna raed tihs, yuo hvae a sgtrane mnid too
Cna yuo raed tihs? Olny 55 plepoe out of 100 can.
i cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! lkie ****!

Now if you car read other post, and the spelling is not 100% why do you feal the need to comment about it. If you can spell 100% well done if you have trouble so what, them that complane need to get a life. I could give you a web site that only 50% of them can spell, but like above all you need is the first and last letter to read it. I'm pants at spelling but i bet i have a job that pays more then most who can spell. As i dont need to spell.

Anyways rant over

You see, the thing is with that text, that all the correct letters for each given word are there... simply in the wrong order.....

In your case, you wrote "complane", however we all know that it should be "complain".... then if we take your spelling of complain and rearrange the letters, we would get something like "cpmlaone"...... which no one would be able to even guess that it says "complain", because the correct letters arent even there......

Nice try anyway

I always think it's a little stuck up when people complain about spelling, so what!? Some people aren't as good at writing/reading/spelling as others. I work with a guy who finds reading and writing difficult, sometimes he asks me to fill out his holiday forms, but if I wanted my engine taken apart he'd know 90% more than I do!

Anyone can spell. Your choice is either carry on in ignorance or learn how to spell the words that you struggle with. Not hard, eh?

um...actualy it is for some, that was a rather ignerant reply, my spelling is getting better as my confidace grows. its comments like yours that make it harder for people like me, learning dificulty is not ignorance, or lazynes. Get a life mate and dont comment on what you clearly have no understanding of.

That's the problem nowadays, you're not allowed to mock the bone idle halfwits because it's a 'condition' that they are suffering from.

Yes I agree with that. Those that feel they have to make a meal out of correcting others grammar and spelling seem to regard themselves as very superior people.

My problem with bad spelling, grammar etc is a lot of people don't even care that they're bad at it! Sure we all make mistakes, I'm sure there's a pedant out there somewhere that could rip my posts apart but I at least make an effort.

It's not hard to find and use a spell checker, it's not just about posting things spelt correctly, you learn as you go along...I don't understand not wanting to be better at something you know you're poor at that plays such a vital part in your life.

Our interaction on this forum is through the written/typed word. A little adherence to grammar and spelling is not too much to expect.

Valid point Bob. Some people I know take great pride in not being able to spell or use correct English. Infact a lass I know actually uses textspeak abbreviations! Her reason, she CBA to use full words LOL!

Oh ***** to it. Look, just because you've been told at school that "It's OK, you don't have to learn. You just do what fits with your perception of human rights", doesn't mean you're mentally challenged. It means the system fu*ked up somewhere along the line.

Everyone makes mistakes, that's human nature. Winging and blaming 'conditions' is just bloody annoying.

I think people are a little harsh on spelling on this website. There is such a thing as a typo, or typing error, which is fine, that's similar to what the OP was showing. But when people say that those who can't spell should not be so lazy and learn, there is such a thing known as dyslexia.

Fair enough some people can't be arsed to spell, they're the kind who usually 'tlk lyk dis', but saying on here everyone who can't spell should learn is slightly ignorant, a mate of mine from college was dyslexic and he really struggled with lettering. I once saw him write "fiesta" but he wrote "5iesta".

And at the end of the day you just sound like a grumpy old man

Edited: Just for the record im not dyslexic.
