Don't you hate it when somebody disrupts your answer-reading with a stupid dictionary play? If the asker of a question commits some typos, why can't these people resist the urge to point it out? We can all figure out what the word is so just shut the hell up, right?

Oh God, Im one of those people. Im so pedantic and Im not even a good speller myself. I just cant help it though, I love good spelling. LOL I'm such a loser. And I apologise to anyone who Ive done that too, and in advance for those I will do that too.

It wouldn't be so bad
if we did not have the
check spelling feature,
but we do.
And I think it is just being "L-A-Z-Y".
And no, I will NOT shut the hell up,
you opened this can of worms.
I realize that both of your hands
are broken & you cannot move
the mouse over to the
check spelling feature,
but if you asked someone nicely
at your house, I am quite sure they
might be willing to help such a
poor unfortunate person as you.

We all make mistakes yes. But it does annoy me a little bit when someone makes so many errors that I have a hard time reading. To me it's rather lazy not to use spell check. But I have never corrected anyone or made a comment about it.

I think it's incredibly petty to point out spelling errors. However, if someone seems to be mis-spelling things on purpose (for instance, "wuz up mah gurl?") I'll eventually mention that I can barely read what they're writing because it annoys the heck out of me to try to decipher that sort of thing.

I do it because I have OCD. It really bugs me when people make grammar mistakes and don't pronounce things correctly. Whenever I type I have to check really thoroughly to make sure I spell everything right. I really can't help it. Sorry.

I'm also one of those people. Comes from when I was a child, if I didn't know what a word meant, my mom told me to look it up. It doesn't take but a second to click on check spelling.
That's my pet peeve.

Here here, I either put to many comma's in or i've spelt a name wrong. I don't always use the spell checker as it's American.

Sorry, I didn't know it bothered you so much, I'll keep quiet from now on, just don't be mad, ok?? :)

I'm one of those people. I just can't help it. I guess it's from going to school and immediately catching the mistakes.
