from your prospective. Subjective reasoning.


just as I think every educated person should know calculus.... but they dont. Even simple algebra is hard for some " educated people "

im willing to bet you fall in this category.

the worst part of all is... the more power you have within an organization, the less responsibility you have to use proper english in writing.

my grammar blows. but i never spell a word wrong! unless it's a typo and i don't catch it. i hate it when i don't catch those!

5/10/2010 8:43:47 PM

I can't spell, but I'm educated as f*ck!

algebra and english, ok

calculus and english... not necessary. I have forgotten most of my calculus -- not that I couldn't get it back -- but I simply do not use it in an office setting

I write professionally every day, however

if you're a bad speller, you're a bad speller

but every educated person should have the following homonyms straight

their/they're/there
to/too
it's/its

5/10/2010 8:46:55 PM

^ I have those down tight.

5/10/2010 8:47:39 PM

i think not being able to spell simple words like "definitely" as an educated person is different than not knowing calculus. even if you are a math person you STILL use the english language everyday - even driving down the road you see signs and billboards.

anyway

definitely REALLY gets me.

restaurant. museum.

do educated people really misspell wednesday? that seems a little cray cray. what about january and february. i see those misspelled.

note: i am not a great speller, either - but i can still do words like this! basic stuff.

why is everyone spelling definately wrong in this thread?

5/10/2010 8:50:53 PM

You forgot two with the to/too.
Yep, I have seen some one use two instead of too on a written note. I was all like OMG... you're kinda dumb.

5/10/2010 8:50:54 PM

These days people don't really have an excuse to misspell words, at least on computers. Everything has spell check now.

5/10/2010 8:53:32 PM

^^^^
so I did...guess I didn't even bother to think of that
maybe 'cuz I think of two as "2"...or maybe cuz I subconsciously give even a bad speller more credit than that

I have to agree with this. I've corrected some people on the spelling of the same word over and over before. I don't think it always has to do with less intelligence. Some people just can't memorize spellings or sound out words in a logical manner.

5/10/2010 8:59:16 PM

I have a coworker that constantly spells "fluke" as "fluck", it is hilarious

I met this chick at a bar, and it turned out she had been in the National Spelling Bee multiple times...I got really excited, 'cause I love intelligent chicks

so I got her e-mail (I hate the phone, and can usually tell when I can get away with asking for an e-mail) and e-mailed her

then she went and looked me up on Facebook, and read this note "25 things about me" where one of the things was that I have trouble enjoying alcohol in moderation

and she had just broken up with an alcoholic, so she decided we shouldn't hang out

I'm still kicking myself for that

You should be able to tell the difference between:

There, their and they're


As well as:

Your and you're

Their school system failed them somewhere down the line then. Or perhaps they weren't read to as a child. I'm sure we can come up with a couple more excuses while we're at it.

I work with a girl that has HORRIBLE spelling. It grates on my nerves because she IMs me almost every day and I have to face the bad spelling over and over. My favorite incorrect spelling of hers is "holly shit."

5/10/2010 9:07:21 PM

I suck at spelling and I hate you people for judging me because of that. But I do make an extra effort to ensure my spelling is correct on a computer.

5/10/2010 9:13:29 PM

i still mix up "then" and "than" occasionally

occasionally! that's another one

5/10/2010 9:13:47 PM

5/10/2010 9:35:34 PM

not really a spelling issue, more of a grammar issue

use of "good" and "well"

its really not that hard good=nouns well=verbs

I write well. That was a good paper I wrote.

I know...but we had this stupid-ass teacher in third grade who called recess "Motor Development Time" and used all sorts of other annoying newfangled terms

and she referred to such words as "homophones"

so later on, when I heard that words like "there" and "their" are also sometimes referred to as "homonyms," I naturally adopted this terminology, out of rebellion and spite

must admit, I didn't know that "homonym" was technically incorrect...but apparently it is
