<< And what is "prolly"? Should be "probably" >>
AHHHH!!! You have hit on a major online pet peeve of mine. I can't stand when people use "prolly" for "probably," or "proggie" for "program."
Edit- and you know, so long as we're being over technical, here's another one for you all: hopefully is used incorrectly almost all of the time, though the definition has effectively changed because of this. It was originally intended to mean, "full of hope," not "with hope" as it is most commonly used.
Hopefully it'll officially get changed soon, though. Heh.
my spelling sux and I know it. Therefore I tend to be forgiving of spelling errors, though I do find misuse of there-their-they're and similar errors annoying. I will often use a dictionary to check, but that takes time. A spell check utility for the reply funcution would be nice.
I nearly learned to spell back in '86 when I was using a PC word processor with a spell check, but it started with only a 4000 word dictionary. It was easy to add words but I had to look up in a paper dictionary every word it flaged. I looked for the word "envelope" for 2 hrs under the "i"s ! I now know how to spell it.
