Haha, I know what you mean, my spelling is crap. When I was in highschool and we had to pass our exams around to get marked by other students or whatever, whoever got mine was always like "Hey everyone! Robin can't spell, see? She's ahead in English and she can't even spell "phonetics!"Originally Posted by The Comedian
(I spell-check everything before I post it here)

Are you dyslexic, Juniper? We have a few members on the Forum who are dyslexic and I often work with people who have dyslexia. It is, of course, up to you but you don't have to spell check everything you post here.
Re. The Comedian's post> I think that is quite a common problem teacher face; expected to be superduper when it comes to grammar and spelling as well as to be familiar with every single word listed in the Oxford Advanced Learners' Dictionary.
Still on the subject, I reaaaaally get wound up when I get comments like "Good command of English language" in my assignments. I feel people expect me not to be good in the subject I teach.
Once during an observation, I wrote "techinally" instead of "technically" on the board. I was told that I had to be careful with my spellings because obviously I did not know how to spell the word rather than making a silly mistake.
I find that ESL speakers are given a hard time; if we make a mistake, it is because we don't know while native speakers can get away with similar mistakes.
PS: I bet I made enough spelling/grammatical mistakes in this post to put a smug grin on the faces of a few.

WHY IN THE WORLD DOES IT ALL HAVE TO BE SO COMPLICATED!! One story, not, lemme see, eight.
Lucky I'm a moderately nice person, for the most part.
For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.

What is with these schools these days, Argh! Why are they allowing the children to bring mobile phones and mp3 players in the classroom? How can they police it? They are toys/pleasure activities... SCHOOL IS FOR LEARNING, NOT PLAY!
Ok, sorry guys... Just had to yell and rant and rave.
I work as a cashier in a Grocery store... here are the 5 top things that drive me nuts:
Customers who walk off to get something else while I'm ringing them up.
Customers who walk off and leave their toddler in the cart while I'm ringing them up to get something else.
Customers who let their toddlers wander around the register area as if they think we're a babysitting service.
Customers who seem to think I'm responsible for the whole store/shopping center.
Customers who believe firmly that they are above company policy.
Gaaah! I need a new line of work.
Why did that bird have to do its business in my honeyjoy cupcake!
I was going to eat that and it ruined it.

I just don’t know what is life worth anymore. I’m empty as can be. Why do I feel sorrow so deep when I’m living my life pretty much like everyone else? Do I think too much? Even my passion fails to lit me up tonight. When I see people laugh and enjoy the moment with their friends, it’s not like I’ve never experienced that before, but I’m just so jealous. Do people go out often with their friends? Am I spending too much time alone? My loneliness has already expanded to such a degree that I no longer associates it with loneliness. It has become so familiar that it is numbing. Do I really have to be familiar and filled with all these emotions all the time till I get immune from them? I want love but I don’t know where to get it. I want to give love but it seems there is no place or person appropriate to give it. It’s like the movie where the helpless always wait for the “person” or thing to enter their life and save them out of their misery. Where is my meaning? Tried to be strong but I became sad.
Oh no!!!! No way!
As a matter of fact, I was reffering to myself
How could I ever get that mad at you over a little mistake?

This phrase annoys me, but makes me lol at the same time. here is an instance.
Parent-yell yell yell, lecture lecture, guilt trip, yell some more about the same thing for an hour.
Kid-rolls eyes
Parent- Fine go to your room...
Here is where my problem is. Most kids have a laptop, cd player/ipod/mp3, tv, cell phone... all of this in their room. So really parents lets see listen to you yell and lecture or do something to get sent to our rooms which you think is punsihment...hmmm hard choice... Also being grounded to your room, lets see that basicly grounds me from well you. still have my phone, computer and tv. not to mention all my video games. yes I'm sooo regretting what I did.
This bug anyone else? We wonder why displine fails... They enjoy it...
Use safari, It does spell check for you, even on here as you are typing. I don't use it really becuase my computer HATES it, but most people can. And I understand the spelling thing, Where I went to school we never did spelling, ok we did it pre-k thru like third grade. the end. So I get to college and we have spelling test and I'm likeso No worrys. This is not really a formal forum so I wouldnt worry about it that much.

Oh. That's a relief. I still am pretty stoked about last night.
I must have overreacted

Oh, can't be!Scher,

They told me to "sound out" the words to spell correctly and that is exactly how I say it... Reaaaaally!

Wait, so your parents don't take that stuff out of your room before sending you in there? Weird.Here is where my problem is. Most kids have a laptop, cd player/ipod/mp3, tv, cell phone... all of this in their room. So really parents lets see listen to you yell and lecture or do something to get sent to our rooms which you think is punsihment...hmmm hard choice... Also being grounded to your room, lets see that basicly grounds me from well you. still have my phone, computer and tv. not to mention all my video games. yes I'm sooo regretting what I did.

I was assumedly grounded once. They took all of the awesome stuff away from me. Basically it was just my stereo, Nintendo DS, and the lightbulb from my lamp so I couldn't stay up late doing anything exciting. I got over it in a week. Of course then I just started writing. Then it was even harder for them, because you can't seriously take all of my pens and pencils away if I have to do schoolwork.
Anyway, my problem:
WHY CAN'T I GET MY HUMAN GUNIE-PIG!! I think they are onto me... Ergh, not fair.
If they knew what was good for them they would do as they are told!!
THEY JUST DON'T GET IT!!
For I have known them all already, known them all:
