I Wanna Know If You Guys Really Know How To Spell, or, can we turn this auto-correct thing off and finger the fraudulent? (1 Viewer)

I'm an excellent speller and a slightly below average typist.   Whether typos show up in my work is a matter of proofreading.   There aren't too many errors in documents I submit to the court or prepare for clients.  Posts on forums?   I'm not proofreading them, but sometimes I'll go back and edit something really egregious.   

Just the opposite here. I could turn in a myriad of school/professional assignments with horribly spelled words, typos, etc., but if I'm rapping with friends or iFriends, I want it to be perfect. I constantly edit my posts

Strange.

Improper spelling can REALLY alter the meaning of your message.

Go to twitter and do a search for "best raper".

You will get tons of results that say things like "Eminem/Kanye/Jay Z is the best raper alive!"

This one also makes me weep.

It might be the worse one out there.

Sometimes I spell words so badly that spell-check is at a loss.

... so I try a different way. Still can't help me. ...and a different way. Nope.

and I say out loud "how do you not know that I'm trying to spell restaraunt! You dumb peice of carp!"

There was a comedian who used to say "How can I spell a word so wrong that my computer, that has access to every word every written, looks back at me with a shrug and says, 'I got nothing, brother.'"

I was traumatized in first grade when the teacher publicly corrected me for spelling "a-r-e" instead of "o-u-r".

I made it a personal mission from that day forward to never misspell another word for the rest of my life.

I also continue to use two spaces after periods even though most web-based software autocorrects it to one space. Style habits die hard.

Can't Alexa tell me how to spell something by hearing it?

I do too.  I think it looks so much better.

We can ignore this.

Not with that lisp of yours.

WTH?!?

I have made a concerted effort to stop that doing since learning that it inadvertently reveals my age.

That's okay. You can woo her with grandpa rap like "Passing Me By" by The Pharcyde. That was a clever one, wasn't it? Showing masculine uncertainty, a trait uncommon or not in the natural for urban youth at the time?

Ah, she keeps on passin' me by...

My Dear my dear my dear my dear

You can't make a concerted effort by yourself.   

You're welcome.

Probably meant a conscience effort.
