asta Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Grammer drives me batty. I know I'm not the spelling police. What really gets me is when people say "well, I'm just not a great typist." Look at your keyboard: a is your pinkie and e is your second finger. It isn't a fat finger mistake. Writing grammsr would be. Sometimes I fear for the children. In many ways. But that is just my judgmental vein. I'm working on it. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellyndria Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 When I was in high school, the elementary school I had attended closed. They took the bell from the school and placed it in a nearby park with a nice plaque. When I read the plaque, I was mortified because they had spelled it "grammer school."

cathmom Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 LOL - I bought a really expensive book based on someone's recommendation, a book about learning foreign languages. Apparently no one clued the illustrator in on the fact that it's spelled "grammar" and every single illustration had it spelled wrong, while it was spelled correctly in the text. It drove me nuts!

HollyB Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I went to a used curriculum sale that had big signs on each table indicating the subject. There was plenty of giggling and eye rolling over by the "Grammer" table. Of *all* signs to misspell... LOL! I know I am guilty of it sometimes, too.

kokotg Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 My son's reading Michael Chabon's Summerland right now, in which the word for a sort of magic spell is "grammer."

Tullia Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 LOL...in grammAr school I had a teacher named GrammEr. She boasted that by the end of one year in her classroom no student of hers could possibly make that mistake. I can still remember Mrs. Grammer's face and smile when she mentioned it. She taught us lots of tricks to remember how to spell tough words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I do find myself being very judgmental of some posters who misspell several words in one post -- and do so on most occasions. I've even thought "Geez -- and you are HOMESCHOOLING your children :confused:?" Then, I look at my checkbook addition and subtraction :lol:. 'Nuff Said. Instant humility.

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I can understand it on the title line because there is no red line telling you of spelling mistakes. But in the body of the text there is a red squiggle to tell you if it is misspelled. All you have to do is to click on the red squiggle and it will tell you the correct spelling. So - pay attention to the red squiggle! It's not rckt sceince, folks!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
