Tell me something I don't know (spellers)?

Okay this spelling thing is HARD.


sorry but i have received best answers and even had questions that others tell me how bad my spelling is!


if they were truly cared why wouldn't they offer words of wisdom instead of pointing out the given?


I see on here so many times people making judgment like (you can't spell or take a class in English ect.) yet not many people try to help... if something bugs you this much to point out what one already knows why not help! more people would start to apply it! right?





Thanks for asking this question how ever your spelling confuses me did you mean to say recieve or receive ?


a little tip to help "i comes before e except after c" hard to remember but effective!


I understand some spelling and grammar is WAY out there and you can fix all of it your not a editor of y/a. but a little is better then you suck as spelling!








so my question is why don't the good spellers and grammar people help instead of complain and point out the given?

Tell me something I don't know (spellers)?
The people who leave the messages saying "You suck at spelling," are going for points and/or are trying to be rude. Ignore those answers, they're just being obnoxious and trying to get you frustrated.





Every now and then, you'll luck out and get a few who will tell you what you misspelled and give you the correct spelling to help you along. Embrace those, and know that most of them are not trying to show off or mock you...learn from them.





When in doubt (and to ward off those annoying "youcan'tspell" answers), just copy and paste your question into your word processor to "spell check" before you post. That'll shut 'em up! ;)
Reply:hmm ur spelling looks perfectly fine on here..
Reply:You are absolutely right. I have seen that myself. As for me, the irritation comes only when the answer is way out of the limit even to understand, and not for silly things like ''spellings'' or slight grammatical errors. I myself, and the people out there too are not perfect, so there is no point in them pointing out silly things they (any normal human) really dont have to bother with or like you said, yes, they could correct if its something thats bothering them so much. This is internet, and we try to be quick or as short as possible, and in that process sometimes miss. Many people tend to judge by either saying you are illiterate, or you do not have an IQ level, but I very much doubt on these people who have time for really silly things, on their IQ level. For a person to be on Yahoo Answers, a casual and fun place for people to interact, give suggestions, they shouldnt be here, they should be in some boring grammar class. Or perhaps they are very very ancient people who really have a problem coming in terms with the new technology, new words, new ways of typing a message.....grammar gap ? Your question had a point, and I fully agree with you. As long as your question conveys the message, there is really no need to dig on your commas and a slight mistake such as recieve or receive....yes, you may have mispelt, and if that has irritated someone, all they have to do is correct you or anyone who did, but that again would be so silly not because the person is correcting you, but whoever it is has an awful lot of time in his hands to sit and look at all the little letters you may have missed. Forget it, and you have sent your message, ignore the boring petty losers.
Reply:there are times and words the "check spelling" will not have in its vocabulary, then one needs to resort to the Dictionary either at home or the ABC \/ (check)on the Toolbar. Most understood misspelling are no big offense, and can be understood, however occasionally one runs into some that are just too much when trying to decode what is being said. I tend to ignore, what I cannot really understand
Reply:I generally ignore spelling mistakes. If there are only one or two, I read on, but if there are a lot, I go to a different question, because a badly spelled post is too hard to read.





It is my firm opinion that spelling well or badly is genetic. In my own family, both my birth family and my married family, being able to spell well seems to have nothing at all to do with IQ, and spelling poorly is -extremely- hard to overcome.
Reply:Well the problem isn't you it's our language. It has all sorts of rules but they are often broken so the only people who be great spellers and linguists know most or all of these nuances. I can't believe i just used that word (nuance) but it fits...Good luck
Reply:Do you think that a good fairy waved a wand to make good spellers, or what?





People who spell well study to learn...you should do this too.
Reply:There's a "check spelling" button, so many people feel like spelling mistakes are unacceptable on Yahoo Answers.





I don't feel that way, but I admit if the spelling is out of control I tend to skip the question. If you have a lot of mistakes, you're going to attract the people who go on the attack for it, and miss the ones who don't care as much but find it too exhausting to get through multiple mistakes.
