    I'm king of the run on sentence, like they keep going, and going, but I just don't like to put in the periods, really.....

    Proper grammar makes me....

    Yeah, and the OP flunked Trolling 101.

    My intention signing up here was to actually give helpful advice and not troll so I'm fighting the temptation but it's a loosing battle.


    A "LOOSING" battle????? NO, a LOSING battle. You are losing the battle, NOT loosing the battle!
    Honestly, I think that word should be spelled "Loosing" and I pretty much ALWAYS misspell it. It makes no sense from a pronunciation standpoint. I've actually had this argument on another forum recently. But point taken, I guess I should at least TRY to spell it correctly.

    the question is, do people have spell check? ??

    and yes, it drives me nuts.

    But MFP does not provide a "spellcheck" feature...

    It tells me I spell things wrong all the time because I'm Canadian. I hate it, haha.

    As for the OP....I can't make myself care. Some people can spell, some cannot. It's not always a measure of intelligence. I don't enjoy "text speak" such as u for you or r for are, but in the end....still don't care.


    Not in this forum, but if you're using Word, go to the "review" button and change your language to English (Canadian). I use it all the time when I go back and forth between Spanish/English. It helps keep from driving me crazy with all the "auto corrects" to the wrong language!

    Yep. But that's people. I wonder how some of them graduated high school.

    For part of my life, I was an editor/typographer/spell checker. Then I taught middle school, where I could put more red marks on papers than you would believe possible.

    I ALWAYS notice if someone uses poor grammar or spells badly, but it's not my job to fix that, point it out, or change them unless they ask. I don't think badly of that person, either; poor grasp of English (or simply not paying attention to details on a casual forum) does not equal poor ideas.

    Dear Posters,

    I am locking this thread because its not respectful of our community guidelines.

    1. No Attacks or Insults and No Reciprocation

    a) Do not attack, mock, or otherwise insult others. You can respectfully disagree with the message or topic, but you cannot attack the messenger. This includes attacks against the user’s spelling or command of written English, or belittling a user for posting a duplicate topic.
    b) If you are attacked by another user, and you reciprocate, you will also be subject to the same consequences. Defending yourself or a friend is not an excuse! Do not take matters into your own hands – instead, use the Report Post link to report an attack and we will be happy to handle the situation for you.

    Thank you for your understanding and help in keeping MFP a supportive, friendly community.

    Respectfully,
    Olivia
