2003-09-24 - 3:30 p.m. Radeing is fnuny huanms You know, as much as I make fun of my spelling; I really hate that people often bitch about it. I mean really people. Is it that big a deal? I have been chewed out alot in both life and in writing because I make mistakes like that. I admit; I am no master of language, but why do people need to point this out? There are two types of people who I think care about spelling and grammatical mistakes. The Anal Retentive, and the Intellectual Elite. The Anal retentive are the types who get upset if the towel isn�t hung up right or if dinner is ready 15 minutes late. These types of people need order and routine in their lives cause they generally can�t handle chaos. Not that chaos is productive but just because I put a letter out of order doesn�t mean the world is coming crashing down. That�s for you Kate. And for Datchery, come on baby. I made my point. Words are words. Their and there should be the same thing Its and it�s??? Come on...Just read the context. Why bother taking precious time to make a distinction. It�s gonna be a long life for you out there, pal if you live by those strict rules. Their values at the grammar company don�t have a thing to do with its merit. It�s a bunch of hogwash. So there. You know what I am saying. You're brain is that smart. If your spending time having to sort M&M�s out by color, than I pity you. If you think that spelling and grammar are more important than content, then stop reading books and start reading dictionaries. Its not going to effect the way I write? Rather, effect what I am writing about. The elite want to look down on the misspellers, grammar hacks, and word makerupers of the world. The anal just aren�t able to think outside the box. Do they ever think that these things are done on purpose? Do they know that it doesn�t matter? Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a ttoal mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelms. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? So suck it up and enjoy. However, I do respect those people who are masters of spelling, speech, and grammar. I am not. I mean that�s noble to learn that. Also, I have noticed that if you are both intellectually elite AND Anal retentive, you should become an English Teacher. Everyone has there nitch. | |||||||||||
