I read through a recent post I made and saw some typo's. I think I figured out why.
I TYPED FASTER THAN I SPELL!
Now how is that for an excuse 🙂
I don't catch them on initial post but then see them when I read back through it.
No other explaination I can think of.
Who needs spellcheat anyway. 😉

But, John, did you note that the plural of "typo" is "typos"? Doesn't matter, the Typo Police will be along shortly to straighten things out. In cases like this it is pretty much automatic, sorry.

See proves my point!
I type faster than I spell! 🙂
I woulda caught that in a couple hours.

Oh, I wouldn't worry about it. Steve Gardner is a noted Typo Prisoner advocate. Chances are he'll be able to arrange regular visits from members of the clergy or missionaries thereto.
There are very few excuses for typos with today's software. I don't consider using spell checkers to be cheating. On the contrary, I see them not only as aids to good spelling, but also as learning tools where you get feed back about the correct spelling of a word so that you don't misspell it next time.
I agree with Merlin. However there is no excuse for a lazy mind. MS Word's grammar checker catches me often. Not so often anymore since I know it will bust me on it so it keeps my mind sharp[er]. 🙂
whats the matter with you people. Can't you tell humor when you read it?
I don't use spell check on this board (sometimes for a single word). But I am not going to go through and spell check. What is the point? What do I care if somebody looks me up and see's I misssspeeled a wird. I really don't care that much about what others think of me. I can spell I just TYPE FASTER THAN I SPELL!:-) 🙂 🙂 🙂
The auto spell check in Word is what kills me. As I type it autofixes my typos then I get into a routine of misspelling a word that I don't even realize my fingers are misspelling.
OMG a missssssssplit wird.
I can get into some good humor over misspelled words like what Kent was doing.
However if you can't see the prism attop the rod because it is stuck squarely up your behind then you have a problem not me.
A good natured ribbing is fine.
Now when it comes to surveying it's a different story. I spell check all the time. I run spell check on my description and plat.
but here? Who cares. Okay some do, I don't.
"No other explaination I can think of."
From your initial post. Explain and explanation is like pronounce and pronunciation. They don't make sense to be that way, but, somebody in the far, far past (not passed) decided that was the way it should be.

Here it is.

The only "problem" is that new words come into use and the speeling can be subjective, not even to mention the confusion with english as a language. It's the only one I know, being somewhat deaf when it comes to languages.
So, since someone made up some arbitrary rules to make an attempt to quantify a growing language we are stuck in this linguistic logjam.
I'm like Giles, if you can understand it then I've made myself clear, at least while chatting in this chatroom we have here....

"It's a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word."
(attributed to Andrew Jackson among others)
Well, we all have our pet peeves. I don't have a problem with every typo and them myself. But sometimes, some words just irritate me. ie: than for then, orientated, lathe for lath, accept for except, irregardless....but those probably aren't really typos either I guess.
I have that type-faster-than-I-can-think syndrome too.
Moo Cow
I just hate to use spell check too much. If I used it all the time people might start thinking I'm smarter than I really am. I like my 20+ IA. They wouldn't give me a Q, didn't rate one. Something about I should stick with plus and minus. Explaining the 'Q' to a mind like mine could put me in a perpetual comma. I said you mean coma right? They said NO COMMA.
Anyway Alfred Frankenstein couldn't spell and he figured out how to make a Adam divorce Eve. Eve=Mans collapse too. 😉
Don't get me wrong.....
I'm horrible about leaving out words which changes the entire meaning of the point.
No grammar or spell checker can catch you on that.
Eric you used to spell almost as bad as Ty Olinghouse.
Spellcheater.:-)
Just havin some fun. :beer:
Ty took the :cake:
where is he?
