myLot reputation of 98/100. kaleegirl45 (488)   ranked 489 out of 23,680 in mylot.com4 weeks ago

Hello again,
Whenever I respond to a post I like to be sure that I spelling is correct. i know I sometimes remispell words. I was wondering, do you think mylotter would get upset if someone else would correct your spelling? I try to use a dictonary to be sure I have the right spelling, but than I get lazy and just hope I spell it right. So what I'm asking is, if anyone ever sees that I have mispell a word, can you please let me know. I promise I won't get upset.

there is no point in asking me my spelling is atrocias and i have never owned a dictionary, i wouldnt take offence if people corrected me on my spelling though as long as they were constructive criticisms, i wouldnt be very happy just to be told i couldnt spell but if they told me how to spell it them i would be ok with that

Hi barbie
I was wondering how many people get upset if others would to let them know that a certain words was wrong. My daughgter was the one who got me using the dictionary, whenever I asked her how to spell a word, she turn around a say use the dictionry, but if I knew how to spell it I wouldnt be needing it. and you're right, one has to know how to tell someone, that there word was spelled wrong.

there's no point in getting upset if someone corrects you your mistakes
but spell mistakes in mylott doesn't matter cause many like me have a habbit of typing short forms of the words and phrases
look right now i typed about a thousands of short forms and then i re-editted all of them
hehehehe

Why don't you try downloading a spell checker? It is faster in my opinion and very helpful! I do not think anyone gets mad because of spelling.


myLot reputation of 98/100. kaleegirl45 (488)   ranked 489 out of 23,680 in mylot.com  4 weeks ago

I use an online dictionary as well, if I don't know how to pronounce it with this one I can hear how the word is pronounce. thank you for response.

There are some people who make it their business to correct other people's spelling and grammar and others who are upset and offended by them doing so. Personally, I feel that the content is more important and, as long as I can understand what someone means, perfect spelling is not vital. Everyone spells incorrectly or makes typing errors from time to time and there are myLot members from around the world for whom, English is not their first language. (I do find it irritating when people write 'da' instead of 'the' etc., but - you know, live and let live ... )


myLot reputation of 98/100. kaleegirl45 (488)   ranked 489 out of 23,680 in mylot.com  4 weeks ago

Hi,
I would not do that, simply because I don't know how the person would react. I was curious how people would react if someone told them that a certain word was spelled wrong. I keep forgetting that MY LOT has people from all around the world. thank you for responding, have a great day.

You are putting extra effort. There is no need to sit with a dictionary for correcting spell. Use forefox 3. It has a built in spell checker. So whenever you make a spell mistake you can see it yourself.

There is no need to get upset & also correct your mistake when you can do it yourself. happy

Happy mylottingrolleyes


myLot reputation of 98/100. kaleegirl45 (488)   ranked 489 out of 23,680 in mylot.com  4 weeks ago

hi darksorrow,
I just wanted to know how people felt. If I don't know how to spell a word I like to look it up, this way, when I use next time I know how to spell it. I can't use forefox 3 here. When I used Word, it will let me know. it seem that the simply words are the hardest to spell. anyway, thank for posting to my dicussion and have a great day.

If I ever see that you misspell a word and I remember your name I will. I probably won't remember though. I don't ever get mad when people spell things wrong. You do know about right click the word if it has a red underneath it right? Sometimes that helps.


myLot reputation of 98/100. kaleegirl45 (488)   ranked 489 out of 23,680 in mylot.com  4 weeks ago

Hi o2bnocn,
thank you for your response, whenever I use word and I mispell a word it does show it, but here it doesn't. I try to spell certain words, and when i can't I use my dictionary. This way next i use that word it will be right.

I think it is admirable that you are using a dictionary to make sure you spell words right, and in that way make your English more perfect. I, myself, do not use a dictionary. Sometimes I look at a word and it just doesn't look right, and then I try to avoid using it. The best part about English is that it is a very simple language, where you can say one thing in very many ways, so you do not necessarily have to find that one word. Sometimes I get annoyed and look up the spelling in an online dictionary, just to know for future reference.

I would not get offended if someone corrected my grammatical or spelling errors, since I try to learn to perfect my English. You can't learn without getting the errors pointed out!

I promise if I notice any errors I'll let you know:) Happy posting!


myLot reputation of 98/100. kaleegirl45 (488)   ranked 489 out of 23,680 in mylot.com  4 weeks ago

hi Emiese,
thank you, like I said, my daughter got me in the habit of using a dictionary. One never know when we may use a certain word, this way should I happen to use that certain word, at least i know I spelled it right. I still get confuse when I use the word than, then. I know its an easy word but, somehow I get them confused. thank you for posting. and do let me know. have a great day.

I was noticing a lot of spelling mistakes in the forums here as well. I too make spelling mistakes, but some of the ones I am noticing are very simple words or just the result of someone who is not willing to back space. lol. So if I see any words that you have spelt wrong, kaleegirl45, I will let you know. hehe.


myLot reputation of 98/100. kaleegirl45 (488)   ranked 489 out of 23,680 in mylot.com  4 weeks ago

Hi Daphers
My problem is that i'm rushing and my brain thinks faster the my fingers. I also do the same thing to lazy to go back space. Thank you for your response, and see around MYLOT, have a great day.

I probably wouldn't correct anyone else's spelling, but I do try to be as correct as I can in my own postings. It is somewhat of a pet peeve of mine to see posts where it appears that the writer hasn't put much effort into spelling or punctuation.


myLot reputation of 98/100. kaleegirl45 (488)   ranked 489 out of 23,680 in mylot.com  4 weeks ago

Hi newtondak,
I've seen people spell some words wrong, but I won't tell them anything, because they may get upset. As you, I like to be sure that my writing is clear and my spelling is correct. I'm also bad at punctuations, I know I have a lot of run on sentences where I need to put a comma. But I'm learning something knew everyday. Thank you for responding, have a great day.

Spelling errors do not bother me at all. Sometimes my fingers move fast or slower than my brain and I have them as well. I don't point out that the person spelled the word wrong I only spell it correctly in my response. I did have someone that was really rude about the spelling of the word favorite once and I do not response to her discussions anymore. Apparently, Americans are the only ones that spell it favorite without a "u" in it lol. She didn't even respond to what I posted just said that I spelled the word incorrectly lol. Some people just do not realize that not everyone on mylot is from their country and not everyone has a Phd lol.


myLot reputation of 98/100. kaleegirl45 (488)   ranked 489 out of 23,680 in mylot.com  4 weeks ago

Hi ZephyrSun,
I can understand what you're saying, my brain is always ahead of my fingers. I'll be thinking about what I'm going to write about and forget to put in a letter or two. I've seen people spell the some words wrong, but heck I'm not going to tell them. How do you spell favorite? It's true there are many people from many different countires and we all have a different way of spelling, the mean of certain words is another thing. I can use a certain word and it will mean something and to someone else is totally different. thank for your input, and have a great day.


myLot reputation of 87/100. ZephyrSun (1035)   ranked 541 out of 23,680 in mylot.com  4 weeks ago

I personally spell favorite just like that, but some overseas spell it and I don't know if this is the correct way but I'll try and maybe one of the people that spell it this way can correct me favourite. Sorry I grew up in the US and we just spell it favorite LOL.

If you are asking for this to be done sure I could do that for you. Although it doesn't bother me if I come across misspelled words in a discussion or response. There are people from all over the world who come here so things like that I would expect.


myLot reputation of 98/100. kaleegirl45 (488)   ranked 489 out of 23,680 in mylot.com  4 weeks ago

Hi sunshinelady,
I wouldn't mind if someone told me I spell the word wrong. To me is a way improving my spelling. I also forget that there is people from different countries. I'm doing for me and to get other peoples opinion. I also have another problem, I forget to put words in. I tell you my brain in on 4th gear, while my finger are just getting out of 1st gear. thanks for you response.
