There appears to be a strong correlation between posts asking for advice about diet pills, fads, gimmicks, and scams, and people who make lots of spelling errors. I wonder why that is.

    I haven't noticed this but, I have noticed a strong correlation between the number of lawn ornaments and craziness.
    Sorry, unrelated to the topic.

    HCG HORMONES ARE SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO REDUCE YOUR ABILITY TO SPELL WORDS SUCH AS "LOSE."

    diet pills cause you to spell words incorrectly.. i've never used a diet pill and therefore i have never ever spelled a word wrongly..

    Those who type in all capital letters are very annoying and also those who type in a way which makes it impossible to read. I do however think that there are more than a few people on here who do not have English as their first language, myself and will often and do often make spelling mistakes. I take my hat off to those people. They are making an effort to communicate in a language which is foreign to them. I'd take that over the dis, dat, er, innit etc any day.

    They could have dyslexia. Or be awful at English but a brain box at maths. You are basically implying that people who can't spell are thick. Forum troll.

    Hi Folks,

    Please allow me to provide a preview of a forum guideline that we'll be debuting shortly.

    1) No Attacks or Insults and No Reciprocation

    1a) 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.


    Please bear in mind that we make every attempt to keep MyFitnessPal a place of support and encouragement. Some members may have learning disabilities or other factors that prevent them from spelling perfectly. Comments on this fact are discouraging and potentially hurtful. Please make an effort to keep your comments to the substance of the message, not its delivery.

    Regards,
