You must be one in a million then
:biggrin: and even biger tongue.
 
It's OK, wooly ram. I like the way you spell. It's creative.
 
It's also wrong... but whatever.
 
Well thank you Evo and MIH, i admit it gets me down at times, but it is some
thing i can not fix, so what the heck.
 
I have trouble with spelling quite often myself. There are a number of words that I have misspelled over and over again not realizing it. I don't want to use a spell checker though because I'm afraid that I'll start relying on it to be able to spell properly.
 
I have a bad habit of spelling 'Immediately' as 'emediately' although I usually catch myself now.

My spelling is shakey, and I look words up a lot. I have no idea if I catch everything. Writing slowly helps too. This post, for instance, took me two hours.

I am sure Zooby is correct about typing too fast. Most of my mistakes go un-noticed, because I'm in such a darn hurry, then do not read it back befor I hit submit.

  • #28

awww... wollie, I'm sorry if I hurt feelings :cry: (I hope I didn't). I've ALWAYS been so very anal about spelling. I just drives me bananas when I see people use 'there' for 'their' and 'your' for 'you're', etc. I don't know why. I just SUK. :smile: :smile: Please forgive me and continue to be the sweet bad spelling woolie ram we all know and love. Ya? :biggrin: :!)
