Spartan SL Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Look I am all for good spelling' date=' I am?a Pom through and through and pride myself on the fact that I can spell words most folks cannot pronounce. That said, I do beleive that being able to spell does not prove anything. I know people at the local university who have PHDs in Nuclear Physics who can't spell to save their lives. At the end of the day spelling is just a means of communicating efficiently, it does not, in any way, dicate how intelligent people are. ? That said I still write out whole words when ever I SMS some one. This short hand "texting," drives me mad.[/quote']Dictate and not "dicate"........Someone and not "some? one" ? Believe not beleive.?ooopppes mist that won Whenever not "when ever". Makes me 'sic'.
Canaris Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 How long did that take to type? I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid.

Amzanig huh? yaeh and I awlyas thought slpeling was ipmorantt.[/quote'] I tupe..typhe..tape...taipe...type fast! sorry but this cambridge university study only works if you firstly, know what letters are in each word, and secondly the "Words" are placed into a coherent sentence. Otherwise the brain does not have "Anchor" points to connect to to unravel the "encoded" message. So this study shows for highly literate people, spelling is not that important. But this is an irrelevant point, as highly literate people would probably write with very few spelling or grammatic errors, and would also not want to read the gobbly-gook written on this forum. So the spelling and grammar police are only there to protect their own sanity and poor reading habits.You would be quite surprised as to what we actually read, these forums are a mere distraction for us. Do you read the Hustler or Loslyf for the highly informative articles and penetrating journalism, then?KonaFan2009-06-08 03:20:36

wannabesub3 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Jagwil I dont think we are touchy, it's Monday, Cold and I have nothing better to do, so I'm pretending to be sensitive. I am sensitive to the cold though, I'm also sensitive in other areas after a seven hour bike ride.
