Why is it or does it seem to me, that when people post questions about how much they like to read?

Question

in the Books & Authors section, that they cannot spell worth a damn?

Answer 1

I have always wondered that myself, and as an avid reader and a teacher, it's one of my WORST pet-peeves. Jeeze, people, if you can't spell, can't you at least take a second to use the spell check button? AARRGG

Answer 2

readin writin and rithmatic - ok - some people just can not spell, that does not stop them from enjoying reading though - and maybe they don't know about the spellcheck option. I know people who read and work with computers, but their spelling is atrocious as they spell it like they say it. And in my case, the letter L sticks on my keyboard and I often don't notice it right away and the words go out without the L.

Answer 3

That bothers me, too, but I figured I was being unnecessarily nutty about it, so I try and look past it.

A Poem:

Eye halve a spelling chequer,
It came with my pea sea,
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea:
Eye strike a quay and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write -
It shows me strait aweigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long,
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Aye have run this poem threw it:
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh -
My chequer tolled me sew.

Answer 4

Ahem! Third grade spelling bee champion reporting for duty! I can spell to a third grade level!

Answer 5

I think it's mostly the younger teens trying to be cool. Hopefully the more they read, the more they'll realize how stupid they make themselves look.
