Hi, there is nothing worse than trying to look up a food item and you can't find what you want because the name of the food is spelled incorrectly.

For example..it's banana...NOT bananna...

But... if YOU know how to spell the word, and you spell it correctly when you search for it, you should get results that match what you search, therefore, misspelled entries should not be much of a hinderance to you.

And even if a misspelled item came up in the results of your correctly spelled search, then you were still able to find it despite it being misspelled.

And if the misspeled one did not come up in your correctly spelled search, then how would you know it had been misspelled?

Defense rests.

This!!

perfectly said. you must have misspelled the word wrong..haha so you got upset and posted a stupid post to the board, like we are going to pay attention to ONE person?

I daresay it's more likely you both got it from your parents, or else from your school district.

I love seeing mistakes in English spelling. If English didn't have unstressed vowel reduction and vestigial double consonants and silent vowels all over the place, how would the snobs and grammar nazis get their kink on?

Awww, look at that, a little ignorance and assumption goes a long way! We are actually 1/2 sisters, raised separately, by different parents, in entirely separate communities! Thanks for playing though

Um. Okay. Did your sister raise you and teach you how to read and write? Cuz otherwise there is even less logic in your original claim that you get your inability to spell from your sister.

that's exactly what I was thinking too. the only time I've had difficulty finding correctly spelled foods in the database was when *I* couldn't spell them.

While I agree that correct spelling is important, I don't agree with judging people based on their spelling. My spelling is much better now at age 37 than it was at age 21. But I was just as intelligent when I was 21, the difference is I hadn't come quite so far in overcoming dyslexia. And many dyslexic people don't get the opportunity to even find out that's what the problem is, never mind getting literacy instruction and help with other difficulties they have, from people who actually know how to help. Even many diagnosed dyslexic people don't get that, because it's not covered in teacher training college and the dominant teaching methods in the USA, and in the UK until the last few years, were probably the worst ones for dyslexic people.

Also, what's up with listing Subway sandwiches in grams? Is six inch and twelve inch too common a measurement to use?

I've known guys that were "off" about what 6 inches looks like and way off on what 12 inches looks like...

Actually, I wasn't being literal when I said I got it from my sister, I was merely attempting to point out that, while we both may have some spelling errors (she has dreadfully more actually, and if you judged her on her ability to spell alone, you would think she was completely stupid), that doesn't mean anything except that, like most normal people, sometimes we make spelling/grammatical mistakes. My sister is HIGHLY intelligent, but can not spell to save her life. My spelling and grammar make me look like a freaking genius compared to her. So what? Does that mean she should be judged? No, if someone did judge her, they would grossly underestimate her ability. I understand that I wasn't clear in that, which is fine. Go hard picking me apart about it. All I am really trying to say is "Who the F&^% cares if things are spelled right?" If that is your biggest problem in life, you should be thanking your lucky stars, and finding something positive to talk about!
