I work with hundreds of guys who make over 100 grand a year that cannot spell worth a darn. They all either open up the word program, or they come to me, because they know I work crossword puzzles all the time, lol...
Apparently, they care enough to make some sort of effort in order to present their thoughts in a way that is clear to their readers. Bravo!
SOME people just dont take to spelling like others do, nor do they care.
Some people don't 'take to' thinking. Perhaps they don't even CARE to think. And I've seen you call them on that, as you should.
To expect everyone to be able to spell perfectly is just plain wrong, we cannot even get half our kids out of high school with much over a D average in everything, INCLUDING spelling, but we are supposed to be perfect here?
I believe your first statement about perfection is correct. I can't speak for everyone here, but I don't know that anyone expects perfection. I surely do not. Read the comments I made above and hopefully you will see where that discussion is spelled out clearly. Unfortunately, I cannot speak to your personal high school experience. Did someone there tell you to be perfect? There is a difference in perfection and a conscientious effort to communicate as clearly as possible. One may not be possible, but the other is attainable with a few seconds of effort.
Nope, it'll never happen, not on a Forum Board.[/color][/b]
Speak for yourself.
