Weldinfool,
It’s kind of ironic that you’d catch these spelling errors because you left off the “g” in your name. Spelling is not brian surgery. 80% of the people don't even realise that they make spelling mistakes. I new this from a long time ago, and I try to help where I can. Just the other day I saw an immigrant standing on the sidewalk holding a sign that said, “I'm looking for Werk.” I slammed on the brakes, got out of my car, and went over to help him out and correct his spelling but apparently that's how you spell his brother's name. I got back in the car and texted my wife about what happened. Her reply was “Who cares about spelling? “You really need to chill out.” So I texted back “There, their, they're”. “There's know need to be like that.” Women. As they say, can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em. If I had to guess, I'm pretty sure that the same woman who came up with the spelling of “February”, also had something to do with “Wednesday.” Come to think of it, a single spelling mistake caused the divorce from my first wife. I’d gone out of town for a weekend with the guys, and at some point I sent her a text message…. “Having the most amazing and wonderful time, wish you were her.”
An other star for Scott.
Let's eat grandma! Or is it; Let's eat, Grandma!
I guess it depends.

I'm afraid we have all been guilty of misspelling, using the wrong word even if it is spelled correctly (four, for, fore; there, their, they're; etc), wrong, misplaced, or missing punctuation, and so much more.
But there is a certain acceptance when one has attempted proper writing versus those who seem to not care in the least to try to use our feeble form of communication to accurately portray their message to others.
Scott, you have really been on a roll.
He Is In Control, Have a Great Day, Brent
Good one Al. I hate, misplaced commas. For example, chicken pot pie sounds more appealing if you add some commas.
Edit: Thanks Brent.
I've always depended on the kindness of copy editors :)

It's the schools. Blame it on the schools. 85% of kids in school these days are not proficient at spelling. The other 25% suck at math. I remember when I was in school and someone asked the teacher how to spell something, she’d always say, “Look it up.” How in the hell can we look it up if we can't spell it. If we could spell it, we wouldn't have to look it up. I remember looking in the dictionary to find out how to spell the word “incorrect”. They spelled it the same as me but as I continued reading, they said it was wrong. The other day my daughter asked me how to spell Budweiser. That’s kind of an odd question for a kid to be asking, so I asked her why she needed to know. She said it’s because she’s drawing a picture of me for school. “Cool”, I said. “In that case, it’s spelled “G-A-T-O-R-A-D-E.” Speaking of Budweiser, “Lite” is a good way to spell way to spell “light” because it has 20% fewer letters. My wife always hates it when I spell and punctuate incorrectly, so I punched her and put her into a comma. A word of caution to those of you who are into text messaging. If you’re ever away from home and want your wife to know that you’re thinking about her, and you text something like “My shirt smells like you”, just make sure to remember that the word “shirt” has an r in it. If any of you have ever spelled a word so poorly that you made a completely different word altogether, then you know what I’m talking about. It's rather humidifying, isn’t it?
