...they should at least check the spelling so we are not all spending an hour trying to decipher it.

nope it is a discussion forum not Harvard referencing and good grammar and spelling.

get with the programme it is supposed to be funny and fast,moving not perfect syntax and composition and spelling

would be stultifying if no one posted for fear of errors

TeeBee · 23/07/2008 22:16

Sorry, I thought it was a corner for bitching...that was the impression I got anyway.

"spond" like mad people"

Yeah and your spelling is so perfect,right??

WinkyWinkola · 23/07/2008 22:20

It's a discussion forum dependent on writing.

It's more helpful if posters can spell properly, yes. YANBU.

ScottishMummy · 23/07/2008 22:22

TeeBee · 23/07/2008 22:23

Ah, I'm just bored because my husband is playing ps3 rather than being adoring of my wonderful spelling. I'm just jesting.

ScottishMummy · 23/07/2008 22:26

can you imagine all pedants incandescent about errors.missing the point.whilst the rest of us have a good ole laugh at a humorous transient posts

all you pedants still musing the spelling etc

cheesesarnie · 23/07/2008 22:26

my spelling can be crap but im happy

S1ur · 23/07/2008 22:27

I find it amusing that I have seen more errors on this thread than any other tonight.

YABU becuase reading a misspelt word does not involve taking an hour to comprehend it. I suspect you are talking about cod. So YABU. Get over it.

(did you notice how easily you read my spelling of because?)

divastrop · 23/07/2008 22:28

bad spelling is fine,i just assume the poster is as bad a typist as me.txt spk is inexcuseable tho!!!!!!!(as is the over use of !)

LackaDAISYcal · 23/07/2008 22:28

If you can't understand it.....move on. why waste an hour?

I'm thinking you must be referring to one of Cod's threads though; 'tis a well known fact that you are not a regular MNer until you can decipher and understand what she is saying

wabbit · 23/07/2008 22:29

but we recogise eachother by the way we post... it's individual, some typos are characteristic of the person posting - makes it more like real chatting

wabbit · 23/07/2008 22:30

yes, I thought she was getting at cod too - like that's never been done before
