I give a pooh.

I hear you, but this is the American way and it's education system.

If someone is that upset over spelling, they need to rethink how they look at life. Just my opinion.

Get yourself a real computer (and by that I mean a MAC) and you have a built in spellcheck with Safari.
If you are on a PC then you can get by if you get a real browser ... Firefox (previously mentioned in this thread).

I've often wondered how awesome it would be if I had ever learned how to type or could spell 100% correctly all the time with never a grammatical error.

But then again, my shit stinks, so it's a moot thought.

That's what spellcheck is for. Someone can completely spell every word wrong, and it corrects the words for you. Actually looking at the keyboard when you type, and using spell check after you've typed it are 2 entirely different things. :

I don't think his complaint is 100 percent of the time. That definitely is not my complaint if that is his.
Mine is the long and drawn out posts with six or seven names misspelled and stuff to that end. I do think it hurts your credibility drastically if this occurs. But hey ... that is just my two cents.
And yes ... my shit stinks too ... most of the time.

I'm not a grammar and spelling nazi, but would it kill everyone to proofread your post before you hit the 'post' button. Some of you type so incomprehensibly, it's genuinely difficult to understand what you are trying to 'say' in your posts.

I have no idea if this has been discussed before, as the search function is not currently working.

I totally agree.
It's not that hard to look over what you wrote and make sure it makes sense.
