'TEXTSpelling!This is the topic that tore apart the last message bored.Its annoying how some of you can go around critazing people over there SPELLING!'
1. Spelling is IMPORTANT. I hope you understand that. It's a skill you need for life.
2. Some posts with poor spelling can be quite difficult to read.
3. Bad spelling invites sarcastic comments, such as "what is involved in critazing people?"

That says a lot more about you than it does her, doesn't it?

Is she going to change, Andre? No. You're wasting your time. Lay off.

DT, I would have no idea, because I do not know what critazing a person involves.
Fine, James, I'll consider laying off. Consider. Grr, it annoys me that some people just don't get it: good spelling is IMPORTANT. Get it into your heads, people.

Being considerate to people is far more important. Get over yourself for two seconds and quit making crusades out of the lack of an apostrophe. Other people aren't alive solely to live up to your standards; you're being absolutely petty.

He created the standards of the English language? Holy crap, I never knew. Axver, I throw myself at your feet in awe. I'm not worthy.

While I agree that these people are idiots for spelling incorrectly, he's not getting anywhere with this. We've been on Sam's case for forever. She's not going to change. She doesn't care. It will only get her more angry with you.
Think, people, think. Choose your arguments wisely.

One thing about this:
Are people REALLY worried about getting Sam angry with them? I don't think so.

Have you ever thought about the fact we have apostrophes for a reason?

No, they're not, and that's most of the problem. Quit treating her as if she's some lower cpkmtyoll citizen. There's no caste system based on getting every miniscule detail correct. You guys are constantly saying that it makes you look "stupid" or "ignorant" to miss an apostrophe or comma, so inevitably you're going to love to hear about how you act makes you look, correct? It's not like you expect everyone else to care about your opinions then shirk anyone else's because you think yours are more important or anything.
You guys insult people by calling them immature all the time. You know what adults act like? They certainly don't do what you're doing. A sign of maturity, since you're all so fascinated with everyone displaying it at all times, is knowing when to look over something in another person that you don't like and keeping your mouth shut. It's not expecting to get your own way all the time, and it's not throwing a fit every time someone doesn't listen to your almighty godlike opinion. It's being able to choose your battles wisely, and once you have chosen them, handling them in a respectful manner.
She didn't use an apostrophe. So? Who cares? Did any of you ever stop to think that she might have something worth listening to if you'd only shut up about the way she writes it? You haven't given her the chance in months.

'She didn't use an apostrophe. So? Who cares?'
My previous question stands: have you ever thought about the fact that we have apostrophes for a reason?
'Did any of you ever stop to think that she might have something worth listening to if you'd only shut up about the way she writes it?'
Did you ever stop to think that we don't understand what she's saying in the first place? There's a reason we go on about good spelling: because when people spell well, we can actually understand them with ease!

Ok heres the thing. I tried.But appreantly people dident care because I still got yelled at and stuff. So I stoped. Why should I try and change when its not even affecting the way people talk to me and stuff?
` `Are people really worried about getting Sam angry with them?I don`t think so`/i]
I could care less. I`m not angry with people.I`m use to it by now.
`She didn't use an apostrophe. So? Who cares? Did any of you ever stop to think that she might have something worth listening to if you'd only shut up about the way she writes it? You haven't given her the chance in months.`
Dont waist your breath. It will only go through one ear and out the other.But thanks any way.

Do you see me yelling at her? No, I'm not. Why? Because I really don't care if this board goes down in flames. I don't CARE what happens on this board. Go ahead and yell all you want about spelling. I care about spelling and stuff like that but not on this board. If someone doesn't want to type correctly, fine. Have at it. I can't guarantee I'll read it, but right now, this board is worth NOTHING to me so I don't care.
No, I really don't care if Sam gets mad at me. It's not going to kill me. I'm not going to die. So, I was just asking 'Does anyone care if Sam gets mad at them?' Not very many people do, just in general.

Oh break my heart and make me cry. I`m not going to get mad at any one so that remark was just a waist of typing space.

Someone said something about how you'd just get mad so I asked 'would anyone really care if Sam got made at them'?
Perfectly relevant. Leann's basically saying that because I don't care if you get mad at me, I think I'm better than you. Not the case at all. I told her so in my last post.
Now, who's getting pqlakdsifj?
