Every time I post I am writing so fast that I end up rereading it to make sure I spelled everything right. Can we all just call a truce and say spelling does not count unless it makes the post illegible? I'd feel so much better

Wow u must have never read a post from me,ive actualy let it become a trademark in my own mind that my grammer is horrific,but i agree some peoples time is limited and i think its more productive to get ur point out,and post either helping someone or asking a question where as u might get a few out this way opposed to a single post because ur sitting there going over ur grammer.
I doubt there are bad enough mistakes that cant totaly alter the meaning of ur post,and if someone isnt sure and wants to be,well they can always ask!
Maybe im just making myself feel better cause i know i dont spell check etc lol.

> maryAbsolutely Mary, the message is what's important, not correctly spelled words. When i don't feel well my spelling is horrible...so what, as long as people understand the message. It's about communication not proper spelling and/or grammer.

Spelling's really important to me. I try not to make mistakes. I'm the kind of person who restacks the dishwasher because things aren't in their right place. When I'm cooking, I can only find things if they are where I expect them to be.

Plus, wasn't there that email worming its way through the internet a few years ago (and probably now) that basically showed that we only pay attention to the letters included in the word and not the order, to make sense of the message/word?
So long as we can make sense of it, who cares?
