I blame MS Word autocorrect - especially when typing "becasue" and "recieve"...

The student who wrote about "Diana, Princess of Whales" who married the "Prince of Whales" gets a special place on the Roll {or is it "Role"?) of Honor.

Member, I think there is a difference when it comes to writing, and blog posting. also I am assuming that they also mean that they don't even know they made the error....I'm sure when you typo a post, as soon as you see it, you know it.

"The student who wrote about "Diana, Princess of Whales" who married the "Prince of Whales" gets a special place on the Roll {or is it "Role"?) of Honor." Yeah? So what's wrong with being the "Princess of Whales?" Whales are mammels too...just like us. They aren't really fish, you know.

"Whales are mammels too...just like us. They aren't really fish, you know." But harder to milk than seals or dolphins.

Most of the "he did his job with flare" and "she was a site for sore eyes" comes from folks defending Bush, the Repubs and corporate excesses in general. They then tell you that they ain't got no fuckin' time for such niceties. herm

Fucking pseudo-intellectuals make me giggle when they make spelling or grammatical errors. Speaking of grammatical errors. Where is everyone's favorite tuber? This place isn't the same without his inane chatter.

Axiom, Of course with your obvious superior intellect, you fully comprehend that pseudo-intellectuals are just people of "an average intelligence" who are just merely highly interested in the participation of intellectual topics and discussions. Further, you also understand that a pseudo-intellectual's main objective behind their interest and participation in these intellectual topics is simply because it makes them *FEEL* intellectually superior to their peers. With that being said, I guess I just don't understand the basis behind the humor that you find in silly mistakes such as the "spelling or grammatical errors" of the "foam-at-the-mouth liberals". I suppose I was just thinking that someone of your grandeur would require so much more...

Further, you also understand that a pseudo-intellectual's main objective behind their interest and participation in these intellectual topics is simply because it makes them *FEEL* intellectually superior to their peers. It's not a possession of superior intellect, sugar. It's a matter of giving enough of a shit to make sure I spell things correctly, and it's a matter of making sure I have, at least some semblance, of good sentence structure. See, I paid attention in my private school. I learned that a person's writing is a reflection of the person. If the ever-so-enlightened liberals of this site don't give enough of a shit to make sure they spell correctly, what does it say about their politics? With that being said, I guess I just don't understand the basis behind the humor that you find in silly mistakes such as the "spelling or grammatical errors" of the "foam-at-the-mouth liberals". I suppose I was just thinking that someone of your grandeur would require so much more... It's simple-minded humor at best. You don't have to be super smart to figure it out, but the possession of a few functioning brain cells is a requirement. Let's take a recent quote from Celisary. by Celisary: "LIVE OR DIE".....Listen hear you fucking asshole, I am old enough to remember this shit going on for the past 40 years in Philly. Remember Mayor Rizzo, GOOGLE is you dumb fuck you may learn something. Only because you are so fucking stupid you really believe that this is a rare occurance. For every time one of these incidents are caught on camera hundreds an hundreds go one with out any video around... Read the whole statement all the way through. In the same paragraph where he calls the person "Live or Die" a "dumbfuck" he has several glaring typos and grammatical errors. Now, I'm not sure if "Live or Die" is a dumbfuck, but it defiantly looks like Celisary can't spell. I don't have a habit of pointing these things out all of the time because doing so cheapens the discussion. If it were something that I caught randomly while reading threads it wouldn't even register, but because Celisary likes to couple calling Republicans and Conservatives "dumbfucks" coupled with his shitty spelling and grammar, it becomes amusing...at least to me. So you see, it's not a matter of me being smarter than the "foam-at-the-mouth liberal". It is a matter of me giving enough of a shit to at least check to make sure I spelled something correctly when I call someone else a "fucking moron". Thank you for your attention.

That so many adults are unable to write with out errors is true. Myself and most of the posters on the DR make mistakes, as for being adults? Why is it that ALL Politicians(sorry) can't even think with out errors?

Just wow. This has to be one of the All Time Best Self-Retorting Retorts. "Defiantly" one for the archives. (I guess Axiom can't spell, but his spell-checker can!)

"Fucking pseudo-intellectuals make me giggle when they make spelling or grammatical errors" Of course, because then you don't have to worry about actually responding to an argument, you just point your finger at their "mistakes" and I guess that makes you feel better about yourself. Which is important, because I sense you don't have much self-confidence.

Wot! The world is filled with typing klutzes like me!?! Amazin'! No amount of tutoring will ever teach me how to type correctly. I am still a "hunt & peck", 20 wpm typist. So, if folks want perfection, they'd better read Shakespeare, not this.

"...most of the spelling errors that glare out at me come from the foam-at-the-mouth liberals..." There really ought to be a content analyses. Take any thread, label ten "libs" and ten righties and see how many errors each makes. I'll bet the homestead that righties make twice as many errors. herm
