I was not meaning anything by the minor errors that were posted only mearly the fact that even using a spel checker will not bring everything up. Therefore Spelling / Grammer i can understand the odd mistake. However like the thread was meaning (manbearpig) i agree that aol chat is not required and have personally brought some of these to new commer attentions or contacted a mod in the past. What i also used to find annoying was abreviations, since coming out of hospital and learning everything again, some of these used to escape me, however after asking polite people / mods / friends i can follow all/most speech easily. eg) lmfao - as previously used lol ABM - A big Mistake DBM - Dont both me BRB - Be right back Just a few seen used in chat The only thing i say again is - NOT EVERYONE HAS THE LUXURY OF A PC/LAPTOP AND CAN USE SPELL CHECKER - BUT EVERYONE CAN TRY TO USE ENGLISH Love RACHIE x x x x

Thank you for the feedback. I agree and I should have stressed this a bit more, spelling on the chat is not as important because you are trying to rush. You want to get a response as quick as possible. Unless I see something majorly wrong, I won't spell check. I won't use grammar at all really. However, when someone has time to read their work and go through it, then spelling becomes an issue to me

I will try and use a spell checker, but what Im gonna say is not everyone will remember to use a spell checker. Is it really fair to be harsh on them if they cant help it? if its idiots who speak stupid text talk...smite them all you want. lol
Edited : I mean this as a point, not to cause a argument. Ill just follow what MBp says.

You will also earn more respect, if you TRY to use correct spellings grammer etc, especially in stories and when posting a new thread. Everyone is able to preview the posts first and can easily check layout etc. Love Rachie x x x x

In my humble opinion...
Honestly I assume this thread was made for those PM's and chat people 'who lyk 2 tlk lik dis." To me that seems pretty far off from any form of English whatsoever. Therefore... doesn't really matter which denomination of English you speak, just as long as you don't talk like a 12 year old with no education whatsoever. -Mike

It might be different on the older models but on the 4 generation one it has an automatic spell checker while you are typing.

And yes it does automatically check the spelling, however usually on mine it makes the words INCORRECT. So have to recheck before posting. eg - changes Rachie to RACHIE. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Since the thread was set up there has also now become a new function - NOTEPAD. very useful for enable people to save things. Can then proof yourself if needed. Also handy so you do not have to post in a hurry, will save to your notepad if you select Save changes at the bottom of the page. You can then re open Notepad edit, copy etc and post at a later time. To find Notepad Click Quick Links at the top right of the page This is then just under Ban List Love Rachie x x x x

With the English and American languages is that some spellings simply have to be learned, there is no logic which follows through everything without exception. The rules of grammar are taken from latin (or greek) and imposed on a germanic language which makes life quite difficult. All that said, although it's difficult, good spelling and grammar mean that everyone understands what you are saying, without ambiguity. When there is no tone of voice or other clue to your meaning, you have to be clear.

My rant
From someone who is currently training to be a teacher of English to non-native speakers, here is my view.
Some people (descriptivists) argue that as long as communication is achieved, language change and variation is not a negative thing, and some even go so far as to say it should be encouraged. On the other hand, prescriptivists argue that the language is like a crumbling castle, in that it used to be a beautiful stately home but is becoming gradually worn down by people who use it incorrectly. My view is that spelling mistakes, as irritating as they can be, are not the end of the world. 'Text talk' such as 'c u l8r, lv u 2' annoys me unless it is in a text/on msn etc. The reason behind such grammar is that it makes IM more instant and it makes texting less expensive. On a forum, immediacy and expense are not issues, so speak properly you ignorant morons! I admit, I make mistakes from time to time due to various reasons, but they are just that: mistakes. To be purposely illiterate is beyond me. And coming from a British English (the real kind ) speaker, it pains me to say it but it does not matter what dialect of English you speak. There is a standard written form for your country/region so USE IT!!! So yeah, that's my little grammar rant over. Come on people, speak properly Over & Out, Bangin (I've just realised how much of a dick this post makes me sound, but I don't care. I'm just a man who loves his language!)

The below can be written in a few ways even "So yeah, that's my little grammar rant, it is over now". "So yeah, that's my little grammar rant, which is over now". "So yeah, that's my little grammar rant, is now over". "So yeah, that's my little grammar rant, it is over". "So yeah, that's my little grammar rant, it is now over." "So yeah, that's my little grammar rant, which is now over." Moral here? Before you call other people ignorant morons, be sure you can speak properly first. I will quote your line that has the smile face: "Come on Bangin, speak properly". Now my grammar rant is over with you.

I really don't understand why this is being argued still. If you misspell one word, the mods are not going to hunt you down because, quite frankly, I am not good at spelling myself. However, I will take time to make sure I did a decent enough job so that it is readable and not something a 5 year old would right.
And Loke, I have no f'ing idea what your last post was about. If you have been reading this entire thread at all, you would know that this no nitpicking each sentence (and according to Word, that sentence was correct so you never know), but spelling on a larger scale, like using text speak to talk to someone in a thread. ("wil u b my slave?").
