They don't care!

Thay r proababy imagrnts & didnt get edmucated in hear.

What's with all the lines through each letter? Saving paint?

I think the lynes are frum the leder stensils they use.

whot?

Makes it easier to Photoshop all of the images of people misspelling words like "stop".

Those aren't paint, they are thermoplastic.. The letters come in pieces, are assembled on the surface, then adhered to the pavement by heating with a large rosebud until they melt.

Errors can be removed with a sidewalk plane, but that usually scars the surface.

Maybe its because of this:http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1282236934.jpg

That's whole language crap for you and no standardized testing. Not to mention accountability.

Imagine if doctors and engineers worked to the same standards.

winner!

For the most part I agree with Thomas Jefferson when he said that it is a man with very little imagination who can't spell the same word more than one way. But I'll take a shot at it. I believe the two words are spelled "any more". Alot of people spell it either way. :)

It never fails to amaze me how me people ask for "advise" on this forum instead of asking for "advice".

Teh sayn is spleled cohrektlie in Lol-speak. nohtin rong withit!

Know whey!

I thought this was going to be another rant about my own inability to spell correctly. I was then going to appeal to the Liberal sense of compassion and sympathy by proclaiming my own victim hood as having been educated in the CA school system.

perhaps it is because we have left the universe which revolves around TABS and entered one of less tolerance and more cynasism...

And I bet you can't add, because of "New Math".

Yeah...
 

You would be dead in a nicely design (useless) hospital :D:rolleyes::D

Quois...
 

... Shouldn't the vice part be a given if you own a Porsche :D;):D

I'm an engineer, so know...... Lol! Actually I think I spell pretty good considering...

Victim-hood, Tabs. 'Victim-hood'.

Yes! And, at the very leased, recognize curds!

I might not be able to add but I can count up to 21 on my fingers and toes.

New Math...
 

I can do 23 with my hands in my pockets :D;):D

How else would I know that my car is 31 drinking straws long....close enough...I still pass.

Well, your grammar sure leaves a lot to be desired. You should think you spell pretty WELL, not good.

Cynicism.

Speed dial and spell check eliminates the need for us to know how to spell or memorize phone numbers. Technology is making us stupid.

I hear that all the time, but I've grown up with technology and spell checkers. I've used word processors with spell checkers since I was 10 years old, and I've got excellent spelling and grammar. When we're proofing our advertising, I'm always the one that's correcting spelling and grammar.

I think many people are too quick to blame technology, when really it's just laziness.

Spell checkers are good for typos - things like "teh". There's no technological excuse for not knowing the common things like your/you're or there/their/they're.

ftr, i do get lazy and type like this sometimes, with improper capitalization and punctuation. and mea culpa, i should be spelling it capitaliSation, as a good canuck :)

Wow, all sorts of red squiggly spell-check lines showing up there... :D

Would "Im the one "who's" be more correcter even...or righter, so to speak? Or is the difference the same (or whatever), as it were? :)

Poisonally, the only spell checker in my life is the one in my e-mail. Otherwise (mostly here) I click on a dictionary to check on spelling and/or meaning of words I'm not sure of. Doing that and correcting my own mistakes functions as a learning experience for me whereas relying on a spell checker doesn't seem to as much.

Hmm, "who" does flow off the tongue better, doesn't it? I think technically speaking either would be correct, as "who" or "that" refers to "one", not "I". "I am the one who"/"I am the one that".
