GigaWhiskey Posted May 6, 2010 #27 Posted May 6, 2010 I hvae cmoe to the clusoncion taht speinllg is auactlly ulesses buecase you can allctuay raed dran naer ervey wrod I jsut tepyd. Go frugie. darn near?? heck, I could read ALL OF IT!! I am sure many of you know why he could read that. For those of you that do not know why, is because as long as the first and last letter are in the same place and you only mix up the middle letters, your brain will reconstruct the letters in the right place most of the time. This only works with words that have 4+ letters and words you are familiar with.
GigaWhiskey Posted May 6, 2010 #28 Posted May 6, 2010 you know, its not as important to spell good as to use proper puncuation. Quote: Lets go eat, Grandma! sounds way better than Quote: Lets go eat Grandma! Gross and funny at the same time. My mind went straight for the buffet, yuck!
a1bummer Posted May 6, 2010 #29 Posted May 6, 2010 (edited) ADHD, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and Processing speed/orthographic processing deficit can make things a real chore for me. Unfortunately these kind of things weren't very well understood when I was a kid. Which is another reason the nickname "Bummer" has stuck for about 35 years. I'll have to check out that website. Now if only pencils came with a spell checker. Edited May 6, 2010 by a1bummer
a1bummer Posted May 6, 2010 #30 Posted May 6, 2010 Well It only works for IE based browsers. I'm a Firefox fan. Dang nabbed!

Venturous Randy Posted May 6, 2010 Author #32 Posted May 6, 2010 I have been fortunate that I can spell pretty good, Mom worked with me @ a young age and I actually retained a lot of it. I still have my off days when I spell like a caveman Actually, I think it may have been you that promped me to address this. Evidently, you are not a "young age" anymore. And yes, I did have a contact from another member a while back to let me know I had "invincible" spelled wrong in my signature. RandyA Got a call from the Boss last night. He's in Minisoda at a conference and they have his laptop for upgrades. He wont have it back till more than likely Thursday Evening. So if you need to get ahold of him be paitent as he has no means to communicate with us here.

Aussie Annie Posted May 8, 2010 #42 Posted May 8, 2010 Is "clarificated" similar to being "squeezed" :crackup:or is it a lot more painful? :stickpoke:
