Blog and Thread Typos
Published:
Updated:
Just curious. How do you feel after you've posted and notice you've made a typo or used incorrect grammar? For example, I know the difference between your and you're or its and it's and I realize that the word meaning also is spelled too, not to.
However, I still make lots of errors when posting, especially when I make blog comments, since I can't edit them. Even on threads, if someone posts a few days later, I might reread my comment and I notice I typed their instead of there. I usually just shrug it off and think of Joe E. Brown at the end of Some Like It Hot. Great scene!

This blog entry was prompted when I just typed "Sorry about you hours" and didn't notice until after I posted.
Guess this should be a poll.
(a) I don't care, it doesn't matter.
(b) I bang my head against the wall.
(c) It's the internet, we're expected to all sound like that
(d) whadya talkin bout hear Dood?
Comments
(a) is my choice
Usually before i post i use spell checker. How is that possible you say when blogs don't have that feature. Right click your mouse button and scroll down to check spelling..... ye haaaaaaaaaaa
However since some words are spelled alike but have different meanings it up to you to correct your grammar.
Like you mean you going to a game.
Should be your going to a game.
If you push add comment it's game over.
Nancy, I feel your pain...but had to vote (a).
I am not good at grammar but some of the writing I see on the net is grade school level or below.
By the way, four4me, "you're going to a game" (you are going to a game). Sorry, couldn't resist, LOL. My mother was an English teacher.
Once I faxed a resume and, at the last minute, decided to add the suite # to the address - not that it mattered on a fax. Anyway, I typed something like soote instead of suite. I was trying to yank it out of the fax. It was like a scene from a movie where someone is trying to pull another from the jaws of a monster in the water. From then on, even if I change one small word, I use spellcheck.
The internet has changed everything. The world is so impersonal. I went to the library last month and checked out 2 books. It was very slow, so I went to the counter. I was told to use the self checkout. After a few tries - had to keep turning the book - I figured it out, but what ever happened to people communicating with other people? So it's gone both ways. We can type 2nite and people think LOL is a real word (probably is in the dictionary) OTOH someone can just send an email "Sorry, we're breaking up" or "You're fired" without accountability or guilt. Sometimes I like self checkouts, but they don't smile and ask if you're having a nice day.
