I too prefer correct spelling. I find that I misinterpret oddly spelled words more frequently.
I have become familiar with some of the current compressions, but sometimes innocent mistakes can obscure a post’s meaning.

I prefer correct spelling too....but all i see being fanatical about it doing is scaring off the new members who do not spell well
I mean if your really in doubt over what a word is....ask...pretty simple really.....no need to be all heavy handed over it
I spell words correctly and still have to explain what they are *LOL* all part and parcel of being an Aussie i spose

I have an IQ of 180 and can't spell a lot of every day small words. I'd give you some examples, but then you'd laugh at the way I spelled them! In college I passed my legal terminology with flying colors and had no problem with the spelling, but the little words get me. I usualy can tell if I'm spelling it wrong, I just don't know the right way and can't ever remember so I'll usualy only use words I know how to spell. And even though my spelling may bother some people, I've been here too long to leave now (3 years next month ) I'm sure my spelling has improved since joining pixies however.

Just FYI.My female cousin,is a schoolteacher,in Conn.She told me
(via e-mail)that even homework,is hard to correct now,because
kids don't use correct spelling but how words sound!(Branford,
Conn.) Irish

Hey Aqua?
^^^^ I didn't want him to think he came in for nothing!
Oh...and why isn't phonics spelled like it sounds?? Huh? Huh?
And who's the asshole who thought to put the letter "s" in the word for a speech impediment (lisp)? Oops...got off the topic again. What was it?
*starts whistling "Da Butt" song again*
