Having said all that, I am never sure whether it should be spelt or spelled but spelt takes less time to type!

I am like you, Joan, like things spelt correctly, also cringe at some of the grammar, but I have never commented as I realise that we are not all the same. Takes all sorts, as they say.
I must admit that my fingers sometimes get dyslexic when typing too fast, perhaps one hand is faster than the other. I correct it if I notice it before hitting the submit button. I also find that sometimes the computer does not type a letter which I am sure I have hit and capitals do not always come up as capitals. Perhaps I release the shift button too quickly. But I am certainly not going to criticise anybody over spelling or grammar.

Awww Joan, I wasn' tsaying you had hun, honest. I just wanted to say that there are some who have said a little too much. Certainly not you though.

I try to be meticulous over my spelling too, though I still make the same typos again and again..lol

Sometimes you look at a word and it doesn't look right, simple words.

I would never be on here if I worried too much about spelling :))

I did say I wasn't having a dig! It just amused me when I checked the word in question cos I wasn't sure myself, kept looking at it and couldn't decide whether right or wrong, then I found this Urban dictionary thingie.
If this is offending people I will delete the thread, pm me if so.

I am just learning to text so is all new to me but I can usually understand Peggy if I try hard.

Joan, glad you bite your tongue, there are a few dyslexics on here, but with a bit of tolerance, we can still all have fun and enjoy each others company.

one or two have been upset by some rather uncalled for comments before, which isn't really fair.
