Please spell words correctly

Just one more thought. Yes, I posted about spelling, again because I believe in excellence. I'm really amazed at how nasty some of the replies were. I was told "really?". Well I'm saying "really", can't we be nice to each other? No, I get criticized for expecting things to be done right. I am amazed.

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...
Please double check your spelling before you submit a food entry.. Thank you in advance.:flowerforyou:

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...

:laugh: :laugh:

I think that some people's minds just move way faster than their hands. If the context is brilliant then I don't judge the spelling too harshly...but some people seem very...um...limited...by what they put out into the world (when even the simplest words are wrong).

If I spell correctly will I loose weight?

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.

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!

I'm from Turramurra... Turramuraamraurmauramruarmaruaraaaa
There's also a Tamarama in Sydney as well so please don't start me on spelling.

I get where you're at, it's so frustrating when you can't find something because of misspelling, but there are by far more important things... like listing everything is strange measurements? Why not JUST have grams and cups or something? Instead there is '1 serving' which I'm lost as to knowing what a 'serving' is for strawberries. Or a 'cut' of fish, or 'piece' of sashimi, with no size/weight included. There are far too many arbitrary entries, which is pretty annoying in my opinion.

I still think the funniest is pumpkin seeds - only option is in cups. Have you ever eaten a whole cup of pumpkin seeds before? Maybe if you're cooking a large recipe, but I still think it's ridiculous. Especially when in Japan 1C is 200mL, US it's 236.192793mL (love crazy US measurements) and UK it's 250mL.
