--------------------------
Some people never could spell, some people could and have forgotten (me), and some people make typos that are judged as improperly spelled words.
My pet peeves: all intentionally done
1. Shouting ( all upper case)
2. Capping 1st letter of each word intentionally.

2. Capping 1st letter of each word intentionally.

Sounds like something Microsoft Word would do as a "feature".

"If I were to" not "if I was to"

Does microsoft Word do that?

Unless you specifically disable the feature, it does capitalize the first word in what it perceives to be a sentence....

No, capping the 1st letter of each word, whether it starts a sentence or not. A couple of people have actually done that on this forum, and when they were jumped about it, they blamed it on their computer. They missed some words, too.

It's funny but I think Kramer (Michael Richards) from Seinfeld also needs a spelling lesson as well.

He used the wrong "Word" in place of an Afro-American Gentleman he yelled at during a Comedy Routine recently....

He showed how Lose, Loser, and Loose can be used to apply toward himself in the same sentence.

In regards to puncuations I wish to let it be known that from henceforth, I cannot use quotation, colon, the question mark [always one of the most important puncuations on this forum], or any other key that requires the shift key to utilize. ALSO, IF SOME OF MY POST ARE LIKE THIS, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT I AM NOT SHOUTING. BTW, IF ALL CAPS IS SHOUTING, then is typing with all lowercase considered whispering [sorry, no question mark. see previous sentence]. It means my caps lock key is sticking again.

This announcement has been made necessary by my kids, who I can thank for spilling drink on my keyboard and to my wife for not keeping the kids away from the computer with an open cup. After a complete disassembly and a cleaning, everything appears to be working except the shift key. I do expect this to be a temporary setback until I can make it to Best-Buy to purchase a replacement since I do not like the ones at Wally-World.

On a good note, I can still use smileys :tongue:

Wear in the world do you guys come up with this stuff? If it we're up to me, I'd have a spell and grammer check on the site. Were smart people, us buick guys, but some help with grammer is always appreciated. Where a lot smarter than most car guys! The previous is one of my pet peeves. :biggrin:

What in Sam Hill is goin on hear? That dang innercooler hose popped right off cause it was lose!!:wink:

 

[turbofabricator]

I spell "FARM"..........E-I-E-I-O does THAT make me dim? (I would have said "does THAT make me DUMB?" but I can't spell dumb, so I used an appropriate smaller word) I will abbreviate words when I can't spell them. (WHY is the word 'abbreviate' so DANG long?) Where is the "W" sound in the number "one"? Look at number "two".....Is THAT the "W" from "one" that slipped down to number two?:biggrin:

Spelling?

I work for a heating and cooling company. We always suggest that the customers have their system "tuned up" annually, and the techs will usually write "recommend annual tune up" on the invoice. I work with a guy that is the absolute worst speller I have ever seen. He filled out an invoice one time, that ended, "system is working pooperly, recomend anal tune up".
