Thank you! hopefully people actually use it….

Does it use American standard spelling or British standard spelling?

Good post, smoogie. I too hope people start using it.

I wouldn’t want the internet stealing the u’s from colour and flavour ;)

Thank you Smoogie! Just for that I would like to present you with your very own Jedi Hamster to start your own army :) She’s not only adorable and deadly, but also trained in the art of origami.

Thank you for the kind thoghts, Of course as you know and can see. I never need this kind of device to help me.
I have never, ever not at all ever made a spelling error or indeed any other mistake, whilst I have been using this website. I, as you are well aware, am perfect.
HaHaHa, Thanks for the spelling thing, it’s a bit like a swiss army knife, aint it? It does lots of other stuff as well, I read the description about what it does.

Be aware of that miss_enigma.
She is after taking the world over, using those origami, ninja rat things of hers.

I sorta got that idea for some reason, but it would be so much less confusing and very little fun. Trying to decifer what I write.

The meaning of confuzzling http://www.urbandictionary.com/define…

Just to really spoil you tonight, cus yoom fab, the meaning of yay as well http://www.urbandictionary.com/define…

Good night, going for a while. Got some work to do.

Thank you Smoogie. :)

GREAT post!! now, lets hope that people actually use it.. especially those who refuse to learn how to spell…

I use the spell checker in Firefox, though I occasionally miss some punctuation, mainly apostrophes.

Spell well and save the internet and the English language.

Sure it is. Where was it you said you lived again? I’ll send one straight away…. *polishes big red button* hehe

what the? why is my location listed as unknown…well, anyway, its the opposite of Jacksonville, fl. thats where I am.

or, if you have a red button, aim for Miami, do us all a favor. hehe

lol I think this calls for the co-ordinates I refer to as “eeny meeny miney mo”…in binary that’s 010100000011110000001111101. Duck!

Sorry Smoogie, I shall cease in hijacking your phonetically conscious post. :)

There is no propper English language any more. Take a few of the so called English speaking nations.
Australia, Canada and especialy the United States.
They all have their differences, of spelling certain words, the words that describe it is bastardization, of the English language.
Now take America in particular, they have corrupted the true English language to such an extent, that it is no longer a real valid language. We have to try to choose between the so called American English and the propper English, English language.
The German language is the same as it always was, as is that of most other countries.
Then you get certain Americans that complain about the way us English spell. The thing is they dont tell us which sort of English language and spelling we should use.
It is they who have corrupted the language, to such an extent, that most Brits dont give a s***, as to what they think about it. Myself of course, being one of them.
When they bother to use the English and spell it as it should be spelled, that is spoken in it’s native country (ENGLAND). Then I will bother to spell it correctly. Firstly they need to learn to do it correctly, to deserve it back from me.

thank you

you’re welcome.

All languages are constantly changing. English is no exception. The Germans don’t speak the same way they did a hundred years ago, and Mexican Spanish is very different from that spoken by the Spanish. Even within countries there are regional differences.

I make no apology for the way I was taught to spell in school here in the US, but then I would never complain about British spelling, as I know where the language originated. I do understand the frustration. Text messaging/chat/IM spellings irritate the crap out of me.

Not at all smoogie.
All this talk of spelling correctly, has always been one that keeps comming up time after time on here.
People come here to help others or be helped. Some of the above last year, on or arround Christmas, saying that it didn’t really matter. As long as a post could be understood, it didn’t matter. They now say it does.
This to me is two faced and they didn’t mean what they said before.
It doesn’t matter to me, it never will.
There are lots of issues regarding the English language, that are inconsistant with different English speaking nations. These need to be addressed, before any of them complain about another.
I am pointing out as well, that which English spell checker should one use, that is suitable to all.

You didn’t use your spell checker on that last bit. Did you?

Oooh, I bet you dont sing out of tune as much as me. UH, UH. Even I cant stand being around when I sing.

And as for miss spelling, used to go out with her when I was still at school.

Not as much as Sandy Lane, that though is another story, for another post.

So, if Arron Speeling’s little girl had grown up to be a teacher, she would have been Miss Spelling all the time, right?

My kindergarten teacher was named Mrs. Payne.
