How about a "Spelling Help" sticky? Then people who WANT to could post their questions there. (THERE'S another one! LOL)
I'd be happy to proofread a post for someone - PM me and I'll have a look!

That's just slang, now, though, not so much a spelling error. Just my two cents on that one.Originally Posted by dukedogsmom

I think a lot of people who are used to text messaging use a lot of short forms, and don't really know the spelling of the entire word.
This board could be a great learning opportunity for such members, if they wanted to use it. Hence, the "sticky" post, though that might be a bit superfluous...

And there is no "a" in the first part of Whisk_Luva. It's WHISK. All by itself.
I can see why that happens....especially in areas where Whiskas is a popular cat food and treat!

Right there is another one of my spelling peeves.... the phrase is actually "I would have" not "of"... I would have preferred that they spelled my name correctly."Ah yes
Not picking on Whisk_Luva, just pointing it out.

I really don't mind being corrected, I learn from it.

That's an excellent idea Catty1!
I'm a little unsure about its and it's. And is it "the animals' toys"? I think I tend to forget the apostophe.
RedHedd posted about "lose" and "loose" earlier, the explanation she gave made a lot of sense, although, I still may get it wrong sometimes.

I AM standing up
It's is a contraction for "it is;" the apostrophe stands in for the missing "i".I'm a little unsure about its and it's. And is it "the animals' toys"? I think I tend to forget the apostrophe.
"The animals' toys" - the apostrophe is used to indicate possession. If there is more than one animal with the toys, it would be the plural animals' - only one animal, it would be the animal's toys.
