Is it normal to think someone who misspells is a piece of garbage?
I don't know why, but I lose all respect for that person.
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

That's mean of you. Everyone is not perfect. Sometimes, some people do know how to spell but due to we human being are imperfect, we tend to make mistakes which is actually a good thing. We learn stuff more through mistakes such as the mispelling issues. I bet sometimes you've mispelled words too, it's just that you didn't noticed about it.

It has nothing to do with making mistakes. It's all about shear laziness. I'm not very computer literate, but I did figure out that there was a spell checker on it. How hard and time consuming is using a damn spell checker and proofreading a post before clicking the 'post reply' button? Really.

You might want to check your own shit first.
Everyone fucks up sometimes. There's a vast difference between occasional slip, typos, etc, and plain lack of understanding or continual misuse.
If you're going to criticise someone else for it, least you can do is make sure yours is flawless.
It wasn't.

Thet is moast unfour chu nate, my felow intirnet youser.
Frankly, someone who feels this way toward someone for something so minor, without even taking into consideration that they may not be a native English speaker or missed a word or two because they were very stressed and/or tired, etc. etc., is the one who is in the wrong. I know that you have made mistakes as well; we all have, do, and always will.
If you go out of your way calling people out on this, or (especially) actually directly call them trash because of small errors here and there, you are a grade-A asshole and may want to seek help. Either that or you should do us all a favour and remove yourself from the internet completely to read the dictionary on your cozy little sofa by the fireplace, pausing only to adjust your monocle and mutter 'indubitably' every second page.

Mmmm... How do I put this?
Well, I myself love to make fun and/or correct misspelled posts. My friends know me as a grammar-nazi and we joke about it and all. I also think spelling is a very important part of serious respectful communication. But even I would never consider it normal to call people "garbage" just because of misspellings!
Please, grow up.Comment Hidden ( show ) -
It's normal for a person to make mistakes and I know there are resources out there to help us check our mistakes . The issue here is if the person doesn't know they made one to begin with , how will they know to check it and then correct it? We are not all a walking dictionary and it's wrong to think someone is a "piece of garbage" for it . If you pride yourself on intellect you should have no problem deciphering what they are trying to say and not worry about how the word is spelled . You would be the ignorant one , the person who recognizes the mistake and instead of kindly helping .. you make horrible assumptions .

It's a bit extreme. I don't get why grammar and spelling are so important to people. Yes, it's good to do those things correctly but it shouldn't result in grammar/spelling Nazis and that person being generally disliked.
There's far more important things in life that should make this issue trivial to people.

IMO, not taking the time or making the effort to try one's best to communicate properly is just plain disrespectful. How hard is it to use a spell checker or look up a word in a dictionary? Either only takes a few seconds.
Especially if one is actually seeking help or advice from others.
There are even translation programs available FREE (really? Yes really!) online, so not being fluent in a language shouldn't be any excuse for poor spelling.
Obviously, we all make mistakes, but that's where proof reading comes into it.
Being sloppy enough to chronically misspell words indicates a complete disrespect for those one is trying to communicate with, and most likely this sloppiness caries over to most other parts of their lives.Comment Hidden ( show )-

'Either only takes up a few seconds'
Now assuming that someone is dumb and that they have to check each word because they don't know if they are actually right or not and follow your grammar nazi rules, then that is a lot of time being spent meeting your perfection, despite the fact that we can already understand what they are communicating when they don't have the text 110% accurate, letter for letter.
Yes that was a long sentence. Deal with it.
#AntiGrammarNazificafionVersailles2015"translation programs available FREE (really? Yes really!) online, so not being fluent in a language shouldn't be any excuse for poor spelling."
How about you try making an effort to speak their language too using that logic (yes this is an English based site I know that). Kudos to them for using their own knowledge of English to try to communicate rather than garbage translators that teach you messed up English grammar and word meanings. Translation programs are not effective.Try this:
1.Type a grammatically correct into Google Translate into language quite different to English (where it doesn't use the Latin alphabet for example)
2.Copy that translated sentence and try feeding it back into the translator for English.
3.Enjoy the messed up grammar conversion..no spelling mistakes but who can understand that now???Comment Hidden ( show )-

I use translation programs to contact companies overseas quite frequently. I've found they do the job quite nicely, if a bit of intelligence and effort is put into the communication. I certainly get much better responses from them than I would writing to an Italian company for instance, in English.
Again, it's all about priorities, I guess. If someone wants the whole world to see that they are ignorant and too lazy to care, then that is their privilege. But that laziness will carry over to a job application or another opportunity in life, and they will deserve being passed over because they couldn't be bothered to use a spell checker.Comment Hidden ( show )-

I use two or three different programs to insure the best translation I can get. But most of my international communications are regarding technical marine related products, so I wouldn't expect any free program to get a "windlass gypsy" right the first time.
So far I really haven't gotten back any replies that indicated that the communications were unintelligible.Comment Hidden ( show )
