So it turns out I can't spell. This is not a new revelation by any means. I have known since like 5th grade when I started passing notes to my friends and they started correcting them when they gave them back. It's not just that I can't spell, I also apparently talk REALLY funny because I spell everything how I think it sounds and this has caused my whole family to realize that I say a BUNCH of words wrong. example I say Wyoming, Wyome and Virginia and virgneea. No one knows why, but it is true.
Back to the point of this post I was writing an email the other day on a computer that did not have spell check and after spending it I recieved a message back telling me the reciever had NO IDEA what I had just sent them because so much was spelled wrong. My dependancy on spell check has caused me to not only be the worst speller of all time but also have no motivation to improve. Why should I? Spell check does it for me!

I have the same problem with multiplication and division. I have a calculator to do it for me. Why should I improve? I can do it long hand but it takes me forever.
ReplyDeleteYou should try because spelling insight wrong (incite) on a paper sucks! Spell check doesn't always pick it up. That is why we should all improve. (It is a sad reality.)
ReplyDeleteI'm think I'm a victim of the spell-check monster too. It's so easy. I feel like it really is a blessing, but, just like many other things, it's two sided. Maybe I should start fixing them myself and just keep trying different ways of spelling until that little red underline goes away.
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura for your comment on my blog! I wanted you to know that I responded to it underneath your comment on the post. Good luck with graduating!
