You may have time in your day to check peoples spelling and then comment on them, how about doing 1 of 2 things...

Ignore it.

Or

Get a grip.

Some people tend to type fast and not think when they do, because there in work, and jumping between work and TFS (like me).. or they just cant spell and find it an insult that they are reminded by a person that spends there time spell checking them...

anyway that is all...

You could say getting annoyed at spelling nazis is like them getting annoyed bad spelling. No one or the other is going to change for the other lol.

Surely anyone who can't spell would want to improve though, right?

OK most people seem to think of me as a spelling and grammar Nazi so I'll use this opportunity to speak up for myself. (Sorry Mark.)

YES I like things to be spelled correctly.
YES I like things to be correctly punctuated and have capital letters.

The thing is I just don't go on and on about it. The only time that I'll bring something up is when I simply cannot read it.

I know people have troubles with spelling, I know I spell well but I don't expect everyone else to have the same standard, hell I make mistakes all the damn time.

Basically as long as it makes sense and it is readable, I'm happy.

People that sit there and pick out little errors from people's writing obviously have nothing better to do.

OK yeah, little things like that may bug me a bit, but what's the point in making an issue of it?

To make the person feel bad? To feel clever?

Might as well just move on from it. It's readable, and like I said, to me that is what matters.

I'm a spelling nazi in my own head. I'm not the best at spelling but I hate seeing certain words being spelt incorrectly. I don't normally say anything though as I know some people just have trouble even if they try their hardest.

f*** you, its not hard to use microsoft word, it has a spell checker.

and you know how much longer it takes to read stuff like this is?

"u no u can do dis a betre way"

any time saved written is lost 10 fold by the many people who have to read it.

abreviations and lots of spelling errors are abusive to the people who have ot read them



Well seeing as you're gonna be like that, why not try capital letters?

Also you spelt "to" wrong on the last line.
