Am I the only one...

[Clovis Man]

Am I the only one that bad spelling bothers? I notice there's a vendor selling "Poraso" -- I wonder where he got it? Maybe it's like those intake manifolds you see all across the South -- Eldebrock... Just sets my teeth on edge, you might say.

Nope, your not the only won

It bothers me too. I am always correcting people with spelling and grammer. Sometimes people get annoyed with me. It bothers me here sometimes seeing flair tip instead of flare tip. When I see flair tip I think they are talking about the thin tipped markers used for writing.

Score! I think I deserve a pint or two... or three... or until this happens

Aha!

I think that backfired

It bugs me too. I'm not sure if that means I'm upholding higher communications standards or if I'm just pissed because something I'm good at is not valued by anyone else.

I can, sometimes, overlook the accidental spelling or grammar error. What drives me bonkers are the intentional ones. For instance, using "4" instead of "for", or "recommend me a ...". We have a sign at work that says "no smoking this area". Well, hell- I dont having rolling papers large enough to smoke the area.

 

[Clarifixer]

Definately definitely bothers me....

Glass houses, brother, glass houses.

So, who's the vendor?

Maybe, but your punctuation and grammar are pretty lousy. "that bad spelling bothers"? Ellipsis followed by a capital letter? FOR SHAME SIR!

I think when people use their, there and they're in the wrong context, or then and than, it bothers me more than spelling errors. Spelling errors bother me as well though.

Orientated.

Hopefully you never have to read any of my posts. I am the worst speller in the world. I think I have some DNA mutation that disables me from being able to type 4 words without one of them being spelled incorrectly, it's so bad the spell checker in Mozilla has not idea what I'm talking about half the time. I also go back and modify and retype what I've written multiple times, and often what I've changed doesn't actually read the way it does in my mind.

There are (at least) two usage mistakes in the OP.

I laughed at the explanation for "definitely". That is one of the words that always slow me down. "If you put an 'A' in 'definitely', you're definitely..."- well, visit the link. I will never forget that one.

I can never seem to spell convenience correctly.
