spell this!

it seems as though many people on this board can't spell worth *****e... just a pet peeve of mine, so i thought i would rant on the lovely off topic forum.

no offense intended... this is a personal problem.

if you can't spell, try these useful sites before you post:
google
type in your disastrous attempt, and the almighty google will lead you into the light:



dictionary.com
hmmm... the dictionary! what a novel idea!

I let spelling errors slide, unless they're funny, like the post I saw on board where a guy described how he balled during Reagan's funeral.

Is their a web ettiquette (used a dictionary to spell correctly)? If so, I think it is pretty open as long as you can still form complete sentences and the other reader can understand what you are trying to say.

tri IEspell if yoo uze Internet Explorur.

You can download it from www.iespell.com. It is a spell check program that is integrated into internet explorer. Just right click on any text and you can check the spelling.
