Fed2K Spelling Drive

[Ice_Cube]

People of Fed2K,

I would like to highlight the following:

shurе

[Khan]

I would like to add, there is a difference between there, their and they're. Also when you speak, should of is wrong, should've or should have is acceptable. Teh doesn't make you look cool. Ma is a French word, my is what you are looking for.

[erjin999]

Also when you speak, should have is wrong, should've or should have is acceptable.

...And the difference between the first and the last of those 3 there is... ?

Shure (!) you made a typo !  ;)

[Khan]

See how much my body rejects should of... ;)

[Ice_Cube]

hehe, good recovery Khan  ;D

[Apollyon]

Foul den of prescriptivism!

[nemafakei]

I've already censored "should οf", "shouldn't οf", "would οf", "could οf", etc. I'll do "shurе" now.

[Caid Ivik]

o cem tocis?

[nemafakei]

Speak English. (But feel free to correct spelling mistakes in other languages regardless).

Oh, and Apollyon, proscription is an alternative.

[Cyborg]

One of the worst mistakes is the 'whore' mistake, hehe.

'Who are' should be 'who're', not 'whore'. A whore is a prostitute...

I knew I didn't get it wrong ;D

Thank you Nema, you dedication is admirable to the prosperity of Fed2K

I give myself bonus pretension points for more syllables.

Great (!) so when will you correct my gramma too ?

[DjCiD]

Why is abbreviated such a long word? ???

[Dunenewt]

Great (!) so when will you correct my gramma too ?

What about your grammar? ;)

[erjin999]

Shes unwell. Oops, missed a catastrophe there between the "she" and the "s".

[slaphapy]

A catastrophe? i dont think anything hugely bad was going to happen for you to leave out the apostrophe :P

the one that pisses me off most is quite instead of quiet, quite is used in "to be quite frank" and quiet is to be silent.

Please note: I realize i break several spelling and grammatical rules throughout my posts, and am not saying i'm perfect :P

[Apollyon]

I'm pretty sure that that was the point.

Eye Halve a Spelling Chequer

Eye halve a spelling chequer

It came with my pea sea

It plainly marques four my revue

Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a quay and type a word

And weight four it two say

Weather eye am wrong oar write

It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid

It nose bee fore two long

And eye can put the error rite

Its really ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it

I am shore your pleased two no

Its letter perfect in it's weigh

My chequer tolled me sew.

(Sauce unknown) :D

[erjin999]

It really should be about getting your point accross without giving the reader too much trouble. "shes" is ok, in my opinion as its pretty darn easy to work out what the person meant.

The bit about "quiet" and "quite" can be annoying, but usually I read in the context of the sentance and might not even see the mistake !

[desert_storm]

what about "color" and "colour"

I think "colour" should be censored!!  why add the extra "u"?

[slaphapy]

what about "color" and "colour"

I think "colour" should be censored!!

[Dragoon Knight]

Umm... colour is the UK spelling of color... like favourite and favorite.  'Colour' isn't an incorrect spelling; it's just that here in the UK, we like to spell things properly. :P Like using an 'S' instead of a 'Z' in words like randomised.

UK and America ... two countries separated by a common language. ;)
