Don't you love typing words correctly

    Love
In summary, the conversation involved multiple individuals discussing their spelling abilities and difficulties, with some expressing pride in correctly spelling challenging words and others admitting to struggling with spelling as they get older. There was also a discussion about typing phonetically and how it can come out of nowhere, as well as an observation about the use of autocorrect and its potential for causing trouble. One individual disabled their visitor message wall because of obnoxious individuals, and there was a mention of a potential "Pengy spam filter." The conversation also turned to the topic of a thesis on quantum gravity and the difficulty of spelling elusive words. Finally, there was a humorous exchange about the use of autocorrect and difficulties with spelling in general.

Man, I'm so smrt. I just typed 'gargantuan' in a thread I made and I typed it correctly the first time! Do you guys ever feel super cool when you type a word that you're not even sure how it's spelled and you do it right the first go around? Man, I feel awesome. I can do anything!

Are my threads getting more and more meaningless as I get older? Or is this how people generally talk when they're up to 5am working on their thesis.

But really! That was pretty badass, I typed it, no red underline thingy, and BOOM. WIN.

I love you all.

DISCUSS!

Lawls, someone said geodisk instead of geodesic earlier today. That was great.

Aha! Looks so easy now :blushing:

I was originally trying to read it with a Scottish accent to make sense of it (don't know why though...) :D

Well, the family is from Minsk which is not that far from Scotland in the larger view.

I tend to make this type of mistake with greater relative frequency when I type than when I write longhand cursively.

I disabled it precisely because of obnoxious educated ones like you. Hey Greg, can we make a special Pengy spam filter ?

You think you have a problem along those lines?

I've just bought myself a new computer, which has this stupid "auto-spell" system which actually substitutes words for the words I'd originally intended!

This has actually gotten me into trouble on other fora.

I used to be a terrific speller. Can't spell for crap, these days. If it weren't for the spell-checker built into my browser...
