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 l... [ More ]

I'm not perfect, and I'm not brilliant...however, I do feel I have a half-way decent command of the english language. I don't like making errors, however, when I've noticed that I've made one, I don't stay up all night worrying about it!!! It happens to the best of us. It's called being human!!!

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.

I get a little annoyed when I make a typo. It feels like I'm sinking to the level of the their-there people (almost no one uses "they're" anymore).

I choose "a" "I don't care it doesn't matter" as long as what you want to say is communicated. Why sweat the small stuff.

I am not good at grammar but some of the writing I see on the net is grade school level or below.

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.... [ More ]

Oh dear, I meant "out there" not "at there". Too bad we can't edit our comments on blogs.

I expect at least one person to comment "spend more time proofreading." Not one of the poll choices. LOL

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?
