Re: Spelling Mistakes Eat a Dick
on a spelling theme, what the fook is this word?
i dropped a bit of a clanger last week letting technology do my spelling - predictive text on my phone that is . . .
sent a message to a mate saying "laura's gone to the pub to take her aunt out for a bit"
at least that's what it should have said - can you guess which word the phone got wrong? damn!

Re: Spelling Mistakes Eat a Dick
Pwned came from Owned mis-typed, and it has infiltrated pop culture or whatever.
Spelling mistakes or typos, fine, we all make them at some point. Bugs the hell out of me but what to do, it's the damn internet. TBH my english has gotten worse from reading shit on in the internet or watching movies and animes with bad subtitles. But I do agree pointing out spelling mistakes and typos in a discussion is a bit of a low blow when it's the point being argued that matters.
But if you can't differentiate or get 'there,' 'their,' 'there's,' that's a whole different level altogether.
You might argue that it's your point or insights behind those 'there,' 'their,' or 'there's' that matter, but if you can't get your grammar right, it obviously undermines whatever you want to say.
Your thoughts are nebulous stuff that goes on behind your eyes, language is the tool you use to shape and form those thoughts so they become communicable. So you can't simply argue that it's your 'point' that matters when your delivery of it or the vehicle it's delivered in, is structurally flawed.
Also, the way you think is very much informed by the language you use. As you move across different cultures with foreign languages, you will realise somebody who speaks Japanese or Mandarin will have a very different way of thinking or structuring their thoughts.
You might say economist or mathematicians choose numbers because they can't be fucked with english, but that's also why those disciplines become so esoteric to the layman. And if you read those ridiculous journal papers, the language has to be so exacting to not have any room for error in communicating those specialised thoughts. Because english itself is not an exact language, it becomes all the more important that you at least master the basics of it if you want to communicate anything of worth to anyone else. Imagine if everyone was walking around with different ideas of 1+1.
You are as much your thinking as you are the language you communicate that thinking with, so if you can't get your language right, you're just shooting yourself in the foot.

Re: Spelling Mistakes Eat a Dick
I really enjoy linguistics. The point feather is making above gets to the core of why it is essential to spell correctly. Although I can completely empathize with runningman, the lesson here honestly is more important to realize sooner than later over the course of ones life. And for the record I think Miro is clearly one of the most book smart individuals on MS. With regard to street smarts, MS shines with common sense, which is what keeps a lot of members coming back imo vs the grammar lessons.
Had an excellent 15 yr Oban tonight
It was fun while it lasted...

Re: Spelling Mistakes Eat a Dick
DUDE this series was EPIC for me growing up. My dad's friends from the UK would records these on video cassettes and send them for us to watch. Panasonic NV300, I still remember our first VCR. Sucker ran like a rhino for 11 years before it died.
Going back to Mind your language, it killed me when I found out Mr. Brown was a soft porn actor (though I was young enough to have believed it, the interweb wasn't around to have googled for the answer and today it's just unnecessary).
Need to go find the whole series now

Re: Spelling Mistakes Eat a Dick
It wasn't you it was Jenks in the sports section this time that set me off...
Feather has some good points but to me when I am typing as fast as I can and not really thinking about grammar and small mistakes I hate it when people miss the whole point of what I was saying and get caught up on a typoComment

It is too bad that FF doesn't have a grammar checker too. So that it would help people with all the They, Their, There, kind of thing.Comment
