The Agony of Poor Spelling

[Telchar]

Thank you Belin for noticing that not all of us are from english speaking contries. I personally, could spend a long time repenting my numerous errors - I wont. I only have 'this much' time to read, write and reply to posts. I could use more of that time on spell checking - that would mean less reading, and less posting. I simply don't like the view of that.

Surely I can understand that simple errors can be annoying to the reader. But usually, when the mistakes are so obvious that even I can see them, I ask myself - would I rather miss the post and the poor spelling? (and even simple typos that I see mocked in here) or would I rather read the post, and live with the typos? - I lean in the latter direction.

This is only a personal view - and when that is said I ask this: If we used all the time consumed by spellchecking, what could we achieve? And what if we focused on talking Tolkien instead of starting spell check threats? We wonder, yeesss, weee wonder!


Cheers Telchar
