LeeC at any time you can press the edit button on my spelling and grammar
Some of us, me include sadly, just can't spell !!!!!
LeeEC, yip! I know what you mean and how you feel! I am the guy who dots the "i"s and crosses the "t"s, and normally proofreads his own posts and messages twice before clicking "send", and then gets really embarrassed when he sees an error that managed to slip through....
I try but sometimes I'm lazy on forums, but I do what I can.
i do apologies ,i am a lazy speller .I have no is my first language and in todays techie auto tune auto correct world we should actually take that split second to do things properly.i wonder if there is any correlation between someones spelling and grammar and their performance in bed/shower/kitchen.i know lee has mentioned before how poor spelling bothers her but what are some of the pet hates out me its some profiles that say they are open minded and then proceed to list things they will not do .
I would go crazy with that "edit" button.
Give me super powers like Superman and I would be just and honest. Give me that Edit button and that absolute power would corrupt absolutely.
I am literally unable to read this Mxit spelling bullshit.
L8r pplz
I would be tempted yes, but one runs the risk of changing what the person was actually trying to say. I just rather use the most clever word in the dictionary in times of spelling confusion . . . .HUH?
I Can not spell to save my life not in Afrikaans my home language nor English so if it was not for the spell checkers I would be totally lost, the thing is I like communicating with people so I do and feel that this is who I am and I have excepted myself and expect others to do the same, if they do not want to communicate with me because I am bad at spelling its their loss, I had the problem specifically on a blog that I was running some time back where I took a lot of flack for not spelling correctly.
Spell checkers are great but can also just help so far as there is may similar words meaning different things.
For my mom... LOL means Lots Of Love, and WTF means With The Family...

Mrs Cat here: I must confess that I cannot spell in any one of the seven languages which I speak, however, there is absolutely no valid or logical reason for anyone using a computer to not be able to spell correctly: the pc has spell check!
As for poor grammar and punctuation, this is another animal entirely, as many folks' native tongue is not English and yet they bravely attempt to communicate in their best, yet often incomprehensible, English. While I respect their efforts immensely, I often wish they would rather write in their native tongue as this would be a truer reflection of them/their personalities.
The "edit" button answer: I would be hard-pressed not to correct grammar etc......glad I do not have "mod superpowers"!
Oh boy...now you are touching a very sore point ...
I dislike people who use sms`s messages to mail me.I usually do not understand them at all.
I am proudly Afrikaans and my English and grammar is NOT always goodness for spell checks,but then there is so many variants to spelling one word,I never know if I chose the correct one.
I am also slightly dyslexic , and I always turn my letters around, lucky for me everyone`s brain is something special....the brain reads incorrect words RIGHT.

And in the words of Roger Waters,

Just my point SDMR.........
IT's a constant battle for me not to hit that "edit" button...
If you had an edit button - would you be tempted to correct people's spelling? 
honestly I've never been able to spell, and spell check can give some rather interesting twists to sentences
