Groups > The Grumpies Grump

You missed my point, dotcom. It's not the spelling. It's the fact that folks don't take the time to consciously writing what they are thinking. In my last post, I was commenting on a very long post from an individual who was probably well educated, but went off on some incoherent tangent. The very florid language was nonsensical and did not make a point.

So nothing to do with spelling, everything to do about making sense.

Sorry Kaybee I stand corrected. IMHO These people think they are funny or like to mess with people and waste their time or need their meds. I guess we are going to find all kinds on an open site like TBD.

you go dc givem hell. I agree my typos and spelling errors are usually just laziness on my part not wanting to take the time to redo. I enjoy the discussions and its been good for me to read some of the comments. At least I dont feel alone now I can be grumpy...alot of others are. Just kidding around with you but this is a nice site. byeeee

I previously wrote a post here that has disappeared on my laptop at least, coming to the defense of people who are challenged let's say.

But I was WRONG and you all were right. I am a good typist, but my fingers sometimes are not as cooperative as I would like them to be so I use spell check or on my computer, misspelled words get red lined which helps me to look a bit more articulate. ;-D It is extremely annoying - YA'LL WERE RIGHT! - to try and read some of the spelling and grammar errors. I think it's laziness or people maybe who don't care or are looking for negative attention. Now I need to go back and fix all my errors!! LOL <winks>

M-bird. yep, after being on TBD for a while, you can tell the difference between challenged and lazy. There's a lotta lazy out there.

I have since thought often about this thread and the things you'd said.

Now, having reread the thread and knowing now what I was unsure of then, I would like to apologize to you and to tell you thank you for your contributions. You are most wise and sometimes I am too accepting. <professional hazard!>

The occasional misspelled word or grammatically incorrect sentence do not disguise intelligence.

Neither do verbose, florid pages of text that don't say mucha nuthin disguise stupidity.

Jus' sayin.
