Proofread before you type????

I can recall several instances when I have seen someone get bashed on for spelling. The time it takes to be insulting and put other fellow riders down or to insult someone's inteligence is not worth it and just not cool. The following is for all the critics out there.....

just because it looks weird. Believe it or not, you can read it.

I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the first and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it wouthit a porbelm. This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh?

haha thats a good one!

•••• is a sutipd psot! jsut kdidnig but not rllaey!

I'm going to agree with Chad. I think that if you can understand the post, and the poster's meaning, there is no need to rag on them like a lot of people do on here. Seriously guys, who gives a flip. You're not trying to hire them or grade them as to whether or not they pass at internet, so why continuously give them crap? They'll figure out sooner or later what employer's and others want, and they'll fix their mistakes.

You all even go after people for simple typos, which is absolutely incredible.

Don't you have to proofread after you type?

You should have proofread(sp) your title.

How do you spell the past tense of proofread?

I'm not one to rag on a person for spelling, but personally it's a one way ticket to completely ignore what could be a good topic. A mistake here and there is one thing, but if someone can't take the time to form an easily decipherable sentence then I got no time to contribute.

Seeing a grown man type like a 8 year old is akin to receiving a text message from your grandma in text speak, just awkward and wrong.

On a forum like this, getting ticky tacky over one or two spelling or grammar errors is a bit much, but agree with Heavy, too many problems with writing and it does diminish the credibility of the post.

If you are regularly posting with poor writing skills, just be careful that it does not bleed over when it does matter. The 100% beef sign is a great example and another is my work as a graduate program director and I can not believe how poorly written some of the applicant emails I receive are. If you think an email to a director or admissions counselor does not matter, you are wrong.

this thread sucks

Thread just got awesome.

+1 to that.

Nice find Rich. lol Freaking hilarious!

I typically do not proofread my WW posts because, quite frankly, I waste too much time on this site as it is. I do not need to waste additional time making sure my posts are grammatically correct.

Rich...that was too good!

jon said it best!!! glad i wasnt the only one that caught that

Rich, I've been laughing my a** off all day! That's epic!!!!!
