to think that thread titles, AT LEAST, should be spelled correctly?

[BelfastBloke]

I mean, how urgent are most threads, really? Can't the thread titles be re-read at least once?

I'm not even bovvered when it's a commonly mis-spelled word, when someone doesn't realise they're making a mistake: 'loose' and 'lose', or something like that.

But when it's just clearly wrong ...

Tsk.

even when pissed with a sticky keyboard?

i can spell but not with the above problems.

but yes. in general i agree. especially your / you're.

I actually won't even read a thread if there's a misspelling or bad grammar in the title. It never bodes well for the thread.

There really are more important things in life to worry about, aren't there?

It's only an internet chat room. I couldn't give a flying fig tbh!

Well I cant spell to save my life so I guess I'm just not worthy of being spoken to.
Meh

I really don't care if things are spelt correctly or not.

Well....I am an English teacher...and I made a spelling mistake in a thread title today because I was trying to multi-task and dp was being silly too, so I was distracted. I heartily and humbly apologise and will go and stick my head in the oven immediately.

I can spell and I can type but I am usually MNing whilst doing at least one other thing and in the grand scheme of things a few typos or spelling mistakes seem such a little thing to make a huge, sniffy fuss about on here.

I wondered about that Fimble! (But only briefly, because I don't care that much!)

I'm not bovvered

bovvered????

Some people can't spell have dyslexia or don't have English as a first language.

Fimbo, can I direct you to the Oxford English Dictionary?

"I'm not even bovvered when it's a commonly mis-spelled word" pot and kettle?

teameric, I think she was being 'ironic'.

Is it spelled then, or spelt? I am never sure of that.

oh who gives a shit

Spelt or spelled - either can be used. Must admit I prefer spelled, as spelt always makes me think of grains.

YANBU. It pisses me off and I'm not even a native speaker of English.

Personally I would have put..'to think that thread titles, should, at the very least, be spelled correctly?'

Somehow your thread title just doesn't scan 'naicely' BB.

unclench

Both spelled and spelt are perfectly acceptable.

I have no problem with spelling mistakes as you never know the reason why the mistake has been made.

I even have a spell checker as I type as I use Firefox, just like you have when using Word, yet if I am inebriated or tired, I tend to miss the red underlining and can often leave a post with errors in.

You also have to account for literacy disabilities....

Do you want to ban dyslexics from mumsnet?

Oh, I did not know that Firefox has a spell checker. Is that an add on?

That's just what I mean, spelt,spelled who gives a 4x. I don't care about anything, me.

I couldn't care less tbh ..tis only a message board not an english exam
