The Fantastic Spacemite and Incredulouse to the rescue!
Wait...
Oh Dave you are cute, mite and louse to the rescue.Unfortunately some of us find find spelling difficult and don't find it funny.

Especialy when it is used to divert or retract from the message.
I don't and won't use spellcheck I need to try to learn, from my point of view your humour is funny but a bit nerdish.

Most people here do not use a spell checker for normal posts. Sorry you took the comment about spelling so hard.

Also, did you mean "detract"?

I don't normally but when you receive 2 points for an infraction for pointing out that you can't spell can't comprehend and probably ugly you tend to take it harder than usual.
Oh. and if it ain't clear it was me pointing at me.:smile:

The mentor didn't immediately realize you were the intended subject since you posted it as a response to a quote, but reversed the infraction.

I mean it as independent humour without any intent to offend. Msispelling happnes. The tie-in with spacemite was too cute to pass up.

Perhaps the wound is a bit fresh.

I've got a friend who spells finger as fingure. It annoys me to know end, especially since I can't figure out WHY he would spell it that way.
