JustEm Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I wouldn't be offended but it seems very unnecessary. I assume most spelling errors on the web are due to typing quickly, specifically on something without a proper keyboard, and not proof reading.

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Unless the misspelling caused an actual miscommunication I would not expect you to be my copy editor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphus Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I would roll my eyes, not that you can see me, but not be offended per se. Their is a place for proper grammar, and the Internet ain't usually it. (are you twitchy now? I'm so mean...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I wouldn't be offended but I would see it as very rude. I have dyseidetic dyslexia. I come here to unwind and get away from everyday stress. I don't come her to be nitpicked about if I missed a letter in a word.There are people here who speak many languages, have various forms of disabilities, have different education levels and who may just be typing on a smart phone with no spell check.(I often come back and spell check my old posts on my laptop if I post when I am out and using my phone to post). If you don't understand what someone has written due to spelling or grammar, then ask them what they meant. Don't judge or criticize others based on your pet peeves. Link If a child has problems in reading and/or spelling because of an inability to remember eidetic words, the condition is known as Dyseidetic Dyslexia. This disorder can also be hereditary. Dyseidetic DyslexiaIf a child has difficulty in reading and/or spelling because he or she is unable to remember whole irregular sight words(also known as eidetic words) this condition is known as dyseidetic dyslexia. Someone with this disorder does not face any problem in understanding phonics but s/he cannot recapitulate the nature of the word. Affected persons can easily spell the words that are phonetic but will be at a loss reading or writing words that are non-phonetic such as: the, what or does. It is said that a straight phonics approach does not work well for children with dyseidetic dyslexia. In other words, a phonics-based reading approach is not for these affected individuals. Dyseidetic dyslexia is also called ‘visual dyslexia’ or ‘surface dyslexia’ because it’s all about viewing symbols and processing them effectively into written words. There is strong evidence that dyseidetic dyslexia is genetic, and that it is passed down to each generation in varying degrees regardless of the gender of the child. While there are many theories about how to treat dyslexia, there is in fact no actual cure for it. The school has to develop a plan with the parent to cope up with the child's deficiency.

zoobie Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I think the world would grind to a halt if we tried to correct the spelling, punctuation, and grammar of all internet posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammi K Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I tend to have issues with poor grammar - especially on an educational forum - rather than spelling. I assume spelling errors are just typos or lack of proof reading. Grammar mistakes seem more egregious. But, I just try to read 'reallysuperfast' through such posts and then pretend I didn't see the mistake. :coolgleamA: Nothing to see here folks. Just move along. ETA: 'Cause I have gone back and re-read some of my old posts and I've made a blooper or two in my time as well. :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AimeeM Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 She wasn't rude at all.

You could use words that are sweet as pie, it doesn't change the fact that I would see it as rude to have a simple spelling error pointed out in the first place. Wow! You asked how people would perceive your advice, and you get offended by an honest answer! But you want to offer unsolicited corrections to others, and have them Not get offended??????? LOL, hmmmm. Nope. Don't see it going well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhschool Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 I didn't throw any stones. I didn't criticize anyone. I didn't judge anyone. None of these things crossed my mind. I was thinking more of like a PSA thing (akin to the kitten siggie someone has). I didn't even point out anyone's mistakes. Thank you for using the word "gently" though. (And I assure you I didn't do anything!) Man... Quick way to get one's head chopped off... (not you Aimee!) Most of you were very kind and some of you were funny. (Sisifus was funny.) Thank you Arctic Mama and TammyK! :) She wasn't rude at all.

jhschool Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Honest answers are fine. Most were honest and polite. I didn't like being told I would criticize or judge. I wouldn't do that. I'm not offended, just a little chagrined at what I perceived to be a slightly unkind tone. Look, no big deal. It's not important. It was going to be something to help, not to make people feel bad. I completely didn't expect snappy answers. My bad.

jhschool Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 I know. It was a joke. Or more like a trap. I knew someone wouldn't be able to resist. :) :p Love you, Jean (your tackle posts make my day!) I believe you mean Sisyphus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
