What's with spelling

[mimi]

I used to be an excellent speller. The last few years, I have to look up the most simple words....a LOT.

Is it two 'r's and one 's'....or is it one 'r' and two 's's. (I don't even know how to spell 's's.)

Welcome to the club, siesta’:))

[mimi]

I'm so relieved to not be alone. Umm...releived...releeved...erm...re.....glad. =)

[Mad Serb]

I am a excellent when it comes to Serbian spelling. English? Not really...

[mimi]

Ya...my Serbian spelling sucks too.

[extralegs2020]

I cast great spells.
Good speller.

[mimi]

How much do you rely on spell-check, Loch ?

I need a well spoken person to comment on this.

[evs]

Ya...my Serbian spelling sucks too.

I am a Serbian grammar and spelling nazi. Serves me right to have no need for it, or barely any.

[mimi]

I'm glad I'm out of the scrutiny.

[evs]

Believe me I’m glad I don’t have to do it and constantly pass judgement on innocent ppl lol:(

[mimi]

But...my original curiosity is...how do we lose this ? How does one go from 'excellent speller' to abysmal speller.

(is that how you spell abysmal ?)

[evs]

I am 87% sure that’s the correct spelling:))

I wonder if our brain just doesn’t think it’s important anymore once we have our share of misunderstandings, despite our perfect spelling.

[mimi]

I dunno. At first I thought that it was just a matter of not having to communicate in a written way, the way we used to.

But hub...who still is required to communicate this way, says he is going through the same dilemma. Um...dilemna...dillema...

I just spelled acquaint without even looking. :w00t!:

[mimi]

Well DONE !

[deadskinmask]

whatever.... i can spill pretty much anythong without locking....

[mimi]

Naut mee. =(

[deadskinmask]

i'm probably the most prolific speller in my house.... ppl are constantly reminding me to not spell things.... and every time something does get spelled, they automatically assume i spelled it.... it bothers me sometimes.... but i guess i should be proud that they have so much confidence in my spelling ability....

[mimi]

It's nice to eksell at something. =)))

[Scooter]

I'm more of a numbers guy.

You won't catch me mis-spelling anything.
I was taught (and I learned my lessons well) that spelling, grammar and punctuation are crucially important.
I learnt that at my prep school.

[mimi]

There's no hyphen in misspelling.

You forgot the comma required after the word "grammar."

[deadskinmask]

no comma needed for words preceding 'and'....

[Blurt]

In America, sure. But the Oxford comma is an absolute must for someone like Mister El, whose high calibre education was not delivered on this soil.

ooooh.... thats true.... thats why i let 'learnt' slide.... good catch....

[Blurt]

Yep. Learnt. And the hyphenated "misspelling."


And let's don't even mention the word "aethyr."

[deadskinmask]

i don't pay much attention to hyphenated words.... i know being de-hyphenated is bad though.... so i just drink alot of water when i post and hope for the best....

[extralegs2020]

I didn't want to confuse you with Miss Pelling.
Not that I wouldn't want to get to know the maiden; but I inserted the hyphen (not hymen.)
