Oh I KNOW!! I hate run-on sentences, they are so difficult to understand. There is one member on here whose posts I can't even read because I become so frustrated trying to figure out what they say. Atleast I can still understand a paragraph with spelling mistakes, but I just don't have the brain-power to deal with run-ons.

haha I think I know who you mean - I don't even bother reading that person's posts anymore because it gives me a headache

Oh yes run on sentences are another pet peeve of mine, they make things very hard to read .

ETA: Another spelling error that bugs me is tomarrow... for such a simple word it is often spelt wrong.

There are many many things - but Rhi, you will know this one.

Is it only in Australia they say - Satday?? ............... it is Saturday

The other one here is - somefink or somming - the word is something

I was just talking about this particular word with my nephew last week, I am surprised by how many people spell "definitely" incorrectly(and I am not talking about just on this site).
Also someone here on Pet Talk had posted this free online spell check site a while ago, and I have added it to my favorites.

Just a real quick story, when I first started this job it involved a writing a summary of the file for the next person to use in their job. I always thought of myself as a good speller. Imagine my embarrassment when after a week or two one of my co-workers came over and very politely offered me a dictionary to use. Moral of the story even if you think you know, it never hurts to check.

Ginger's Mom - I will always thank my Dad for helping me learn to spell that word

He taught it to me as - def-i-nite-ly
(pronounced - deaf-i-night-lee)

Made sure I never forgot that there was an I in there

Thanks for the spellcheck Joyce. I bookmarked it too for future use. My spelling has degraded so much over the years that I have to check and re-check all the time. It never does hurt to check, especially when the old memory starts to go when we get older I've come to the conclusion that some people spell incorrectly just to get attention or to be different. Surely, constant spelling errors that are so blatant, can't be real. Right??
