some people moan about bad spellings this really bugs me as i normally spot the mistake after i can change it and some like jjuggle go on a long rant about it. i really don’t care and normally just skip the post so you may wonder why is this guy moaning this story has a more than likely missspelllt begining midle and ed but the point is if you hate being moaned at the there is a way to spell right everey tim just write your post/thread what ever in word and then copy and paste it into unicyclist and it works i tested it the other day.

hey
now did you purposley spell those words wrong in your paragraph or are u just being an idiot?
Re: hey
Using Word is all well and good, but it won’t split posts into readable sentences for you… 
It’s often called “humour”…

I don’t rant, I invite to a dialogue.
And it’s JJuggle, not jjuggle, thank you very much.

Have you tried using the ‘Preview Reply’ feature? Instead of pressing submit, and then finding your mistakes, you are better off previewing and that way you can edit mistakes out before they reach the forum. If you submit and then edit mistakes out the Usenet readers will probably get the original post with mistakes included. Also the edit thingy has a timer so you only have a short time to fix your post. I don’t think honest spelling mistakes or typos are bad things, and they can add amusement in some cases. It is when people show total lack of understanding of the English language (or whatever language they are using) that you begin to wonder about the intellect of the author. It annoys me a little bit how some people don’t use capital letters at the start of sentences. It doesn’t really matter, but how hard is it to hold shift while pressing a key once in a while? We’re all human (apart from some automated spam-bots) so we can expect to make mistakes now and then.
If you are using Windows and Internet Explorer, ieSpell is better than Word for spell checking forum posts. ieSpell will spell check text input boxes on web pages. Very handy for spell checking forum posts. It integrates with IE. You type in your post, right-click in the text box, and select “Check Spelling”.
It’s a free application, but donations are accepted.
At least try to put some puncuation in your sentences if you’re going to spell everything incorrectly.
People who don’t stop bitching about typos really piss me off. One of my pet peeves is stupid bastards who think they’re better than everyone else because they spell everything correctly… and then rub typos in the face of people who spell shit wrong just to look good. Well guess what Motherf***, YOU’RE NOT IMPRESSING ANYBODY!!!
Anyway, i just had to rant. Sorry to fly off the handle like that 
True, people who point out spelling mistakes that were obviously an oversight are being dinks.
On the other hand, people who spell things incorrectly on purpose (to look cool? I don’t know) are just being idiots.
What purpose does a sentence full of garbage serve? Not much, except to the 8 year old who wrote it.
Do everyone a favour, and type like a normal human being. Unless UR2KL <—See?!?
Swonka, you spelled “Mother-Goose” wrong. Tsk tsk, what a shame.
it’s good to express your feelings sometimes you just need to let it all out (like my thread on rugby 
)
Since I am, I believe, among those here who have been called a moaner, stupid bastard, motherfcker, and I think, dink, I’ll respond. I’ve also been called a passive-aggressive, which actually may be true.
Firstly, sticks and stones can break my bones but names will never hurt me. 
Secondly, I have poked fun at misspellings on occasion, but have never seriously attacked anyone for the random typo.
Thirdly, and lastly, it has been my contention that when addressing matters in a serious way - and by serious I mean expecting a considered response, not important in subject matter - one should attempt to write clearly and unhurriedly. Such deliberate attention to ones own language assists the reader in understanding the comment or question and in formulating a response or providing assistance. It’s really that simple.
And by the way, yes, I do enjoy, figuratively speaking, the sound of my own voice. But here on the Internet, I think that is not uncommon. Many here, I’m sure, share my admiration for those who seem able to resist the urge to blather; I am not among them.

- Dink as far as I know is an acronym for “dual income, no kids” referring to couples who both work, have no children and have lots of disposable income. At one time I thought it was a racial slur against Asians, but was never able to confirm this from anyone who used the term. So what does dink mean (well actually the context here makes it clear) but more to the point, where does it come from?
I’m among those who have been corrected by JJuggle, and I have absolutely no problem with the way it was done. It didn’t seem like an attempt to show off.
You are right in both cases. I wouldn’t consider “double income no kids” to be an insult, but the other meaning is not quite as friendly. It is offensive slang for a North Vietnamese soldier or guerrilla in the Vietnam War. Another meaning is a machine too small to be worth bothering with, which is the most appropriate meaning in this case (in my opinion). If you are bothered (like Xwonka) by someone criticising spelling or typos I suggest you improve your spelling so as not to be a target of criticism. I think XWonka’s outburst of profanity followed by a faked apology displayed far more dinkyness (small mind/machine) than the spelling police.
Wow!!! When I wrote this thread I never thought that any one would reply.

I put a full stop in I normally do not bother with punctuation as I a normally I a rush too summit a thread. That is why my spellings are wrong and yes I did spell stuff wrong on purpose the fact people write in about type o’s and “rub it in your face” I think someone said. Does not bother me it’s when you trying to find
something out and then someone says you spelt whatever wrong. Everyone else jumps on the bandwagon and the question is never answered.

I take it you didn’t see this thread.
P.s. My post didn’t target JJuggle, even though he is known to point out spelling mistakes once in awhile. But more so to people who point out typos in arguments, let’s say, about helmet useage or something like that. I mean, geez. What point does it serve?

Re: hey
Are you saying that someone who makes spelling errors and doesn’t do it on purpose is an idiot? Interesting…

Re: Re: hey
If it wasn’t on purpose…yes, he’s an idiot (in that particular post, not in general)
