Sorry for the rant however I just can't get over the infantile assholes who have to cite every single spelling error in somone's post without providing any useful information. For one (mis)spelling is in no way a reflection of intelligence, and sometimes it isnt even detrimental to clarity. Anyone ever get that email where nearly everything was spelled wrong but it was still easily understandable. The point was that our brains dont even really process the middle letters of easily recognizable words. Anyways, my other issue is that these same people dont even speak english half the time. How in your right mind do you justify spelling errors when you yourself are a L33t haxor. I mean what the %$#@??? Never should anyone have to apologize for a few spelling errors, especially when they are just trying to be helpful. The worst is when people just harp on somone's poor spelling because they dont agree with their statements, just to flame them. Its like "OMG Learn to spell NOOB!" Anyways Im done, thanks.

"Anyone ever get that email where nearly everything was spelled wrong but it was still easily understandable"

well. make your paragraph easily understandable because its too big to read thus making it hardly understandable which is the exact opposite of your paragraph. ha.

I think it's a great free service! I'm thinking about posting my documents here for spellchecking instead of using Word ;)

no one "spells" pole wrong they mistype. Ok its helpful to have people help you spellcheck but when its used malicously i think its a joke. Honestly...get a life.

yes i have seen it and yes it is cool


and as most people here know, i miss type/spell more things then just about anyone on this bord, and it has nothning to do with being stupid, i am a horrid typer, i was never given lessons and learned myself which is part of the issue, the other is that i try to type WAY to fast and things end up getting garbled and such, however 99% of the time the message gets across fine, so what if the appears as teh or i type woudl and not would, its not like people dont understand that its a typo

and also i just dont care, because its a freeking online message board
