Forum / Form - usage

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.

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

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

I tend to have alot of spelling and grammar mistakes. Since joining PT though my grammar and spelling have got better and it bothers me when I see people who spell things wrong or don't use proper grammar.
I do have a hard time telling to difference between does and dose though.

Whisk_Luva, there's no reason to feel stupid, it can happen to us all.

"Does" is used in "he does drive fast" - "dose" is used as in "a dose of medicine".

It's not stupid... more than likely you hear people say the contraction of would have (would've) or could have (could've) or should have (should've).

They sound like you're saying the word OF not the contraction.

My mother was an English Teacher and then became a Librarian.
I am a Librarian, and have been the teacher in charge of the District Spelling Bee for Scripps National Spelling Bee since 2000. If you want to be totally confused and confounded, you need to see and hear the words that the kids in the Scripps National Spelling Bee have to know and spell!

So, I'm good at spelling, but still lag behind in grammar a bit.

The only thing that bugs me, is that when people will type in slang to EVERYTHING. They want to shorten everything up, or change the letters to a number to make it look cool.

That is what bugs me the most, it is like they want to just shorten everything when it is probably easier to just write it normally.

For me i don't usually say forum, i mostly just say the Site or something along that lines.

Oh, I agree with you! Hopefully, one day they'll realize it's not smart at all, and that no one is impressed.

A site and a forum are two different things though.

He he... I have fun with this thanks to a math class in high school. Forget what chapter or what it was relevant to.

A: A forum can be a site, but not all sites are forums.

Q: Does S = F ?

I try my best to have proper spelling and grammar. Although, I will admit I am guilty of using the slang word gonna a LOT! Sorry if it irritates anyone.
But if I am unsure of how to spell a word I will type it in word or my outlook. Doing this also teaches me how to spell.

(Boy I sure hope I didn't make any mistakes on this post. )
