Prolly for probably.

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

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...

Hampster instead of Hamster drives me insane! There is no P in hamster!

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."

Not picking on Whisk_Luva, just pointing it out.

I have tended to be a member of the "Spelling Police" for most of my early years (college major was English the first time around )...but now I make so many of my own goofs that I don't have much room to point out the goofs I see. If I stop and think - I know proper grammar (not grammer!) rules and usage rules, but don't always use them anymore. I wonder if I am losing brain cells or getting my punishment for being picky. Like Kay, I do cringe now and then though.

Oops! Sorry! I am tired today! *Yawns*

I feel really stupid now! I made a mistake on a spelling\grammar thread!

You would HAVE forgotten!

Thanks ReddHed!

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