I No How to Spell I Sware!

LOL! I stress so much about my spelling and grammar on public websites I actually avoid posting things on facebook or delete them after posting b/c I notice an error! When I am composing something long for this site I will type it out on a word processing program and then cut and paste...

LOL ~ that happens to me all the time. I usually catch it AFTER I hit post and go back in and fix it really quick hoping no one saw it yet! I don't know why but sometimes I know that I typed a letter but it gets skipped?? Not sure why.

You are not the only one, don't let it bother you.

OMG, I'm so neurotic that usually if I see it after I've posted it I will go in and correct it! LOL!

I am not a good speller. Thank goodness for spell check. I'd be LOST without it.

I've heard spelling and sense of direction are genetic and, while that might not be true, it works for me. My mother and sister are beautiful spellers AND they know their way around a city within an hour. They just GET it. My pops and I are atrocious spellers. Simply AWFUL. AND I still get lost in the town I've lived For. Ten. Years. My brain doesn't hold onto that information no matter how I TRY.

Oh well. I have other strengths. ;-)

ETA: I use google chrome as a browser, and spell check is included in all my internet endeavors...so I DO have a spell check when using mamapedia (although I still make mistakes).

:) me too. I am at work and just tap out an answer with the minute in between phone calls. No time to proofread and.....I'm ruined by spell check. It's made me lazy. I also got into some very bad typing habits when my left arm was broken. So, letters are transposed ALOT and I had gotten out of the habit of capitalizing. Very hard to capitalize with a broken arm. sorry yall. I promise im not an idiot.

I had awful (well still do) add and dyslexia and so my learning has been uber slow. So I admit I do make plenty of mistakes but I try not to. . . plus I have firefox so it has spell check :D

***Plus teachers who just ignored me and wouldn't really care. They would often get frustrated with me. YAY for public schools!! Oh and my parents couldn't care less about my learning. When I was 7 my parents divorced then my mom immediately got remarried so she was in the honeymoon stage during my critical learning time. YAY!

I have the Google toolbar with a spell check button but things still can get messed up. Especially like now when I'm typing with a 2 year old trying to climb on me throwing a tantrum because I told her she couldn't have her brothers drink cup LOL
I'm actually a pretty good speller but it doesn't always show ;)

Glad to know Im not the only one. I was a great speller when I was a kid, but now I cant spell to save my life!!! Mamapedia powers that be...Please add a spell check feature for the spelling imparied mamas like myself!

Hahaha! Thats the samething I say too! But I usually type really fast only because i'm always in a hurry! But i'm with you on this one!

Spelling is Not 'my thing' lol thank goodness for Spell Check !

I am a horrible speller!!! My husband installed some sort of program on my computer that spell checks in any program I am using...it even checks while I am answering Mamapedia.

I really need all the help I can get!!

I'm a really good speller, but I still stress out a little when I post things on FB (where obviously my friends know me) because before I stayed home with my kids I was an English teacher. I'm always afraid I'm going to make a mistake and then be judged for it!!!

HAHA
Sometimes I will write something hit POST then look at it and have to go back in and rewrite it. Sometimes I am tired and hit post and then see how dyslexic I am after a mom gives me a flower.

I can spell, but I have a lot of typos that I try to fix before I hit POST.
When my kids write papers I have to have my hubby read them first, correct the spelling, then I can read for content.
If there is someone on here who really can't spell or uses textspeak, I have to move on without reading most of the post because I can't get past the spelling errors.

Most of the time I can spell. But I have long fingernails so I don't always correct my typos. And sometimes I spell something, look at it, look at it and realize it isn't spelled right but can't figure out how it should be spelled or just don't care or want to figure it out! Compared to some people's spelling on here, I think I do darn good if I do say so myself! =)
