I think they meant "with"?

Buut remember everyone, spellcheck doesn't check for grammar. But that would be so hard to do

That was the app I was talking about. ieSpell would have caught that little "wich"

Slick... LOL!

And while we're at the subject, here's an American-British dictionary.

This one is handy as well, and acually a releif for me to see. I sometimes spell the american way and sometimes the english - and sometimes totally bollocks, but I'm sure you forgive me. http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/~jphb/american.html

I sometimes make spelling mistakes but not on purpose, if I do notice I made one I just edit the post and fix it, although some people may have a msn habit of typing so it could take some time before they learn to get better at it, ya know lol *ahem*.

Oh bang bang, I did make some spelling mistakes and with Karens help I fixed them.

An msn habit is when you type in a slang way like sry,pls,ur,tmrow,w/e ect..

I thought that I was just easier confused lately. I sometimes can't make sense out of some post at all. I read them and read them and sit here scratching my head trying to figure out what in the world they were even trying to say..and most of them were in full written words. The ones in that instant message garb, I just don't even bother with.

I suggest you take time to read and re-read what you are posting and ask yourself some questions like;

1- Will this make sense to other people?

2- Was I clear on making my point?

3- How hard will this be for others to understand?

I am simply delighted to find this thread! I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one here who gets incredibly peeved at

peoplewhotypelikethis and don't use caps or even just a simple period for pete sakes and i even pmed one of them and asked her to use punctuation but of course she ignored me so now i don't read her posts do you think that was mean of me or did i do the right thing well we all have our own way so don't bug me

on and on and on!
Phew! Thanks for letting me get that off my chest! Yes, I think proper English is doomed, it's just a matter of time before all the rules get thrown out. Hmmm, do they still teach Grammer in school? Maybe the English programs got cut...
