Because anyone spells correctly or not is really irrelevant. No one, certainly not me, looks down on anyone who has difficulty in any way with the written, or spoken word. Take a look at the the topic, 'Word Association'. It's been going longer than I have with 'Nottstalgia'. With me, and obviously others, the written word is a hobby, whether I'm reading it or writing it and I have done a great deal of writing for very little reward. I enjoy it as something I find easier to express myself with than the spoken word. Those who enjoy this sort of communication are not snobs because they may be reasonably good at it. Personally, I'm lousy at maths but I don't regard skillful mathematicions as snobs.

If everyone used Firefox browser, spelling mistakes would be far and few between, it has a spell checker that can be set to US or UK English, it underlines a spelling error.

What a lot of you are failing to realize is that this topic is entitled "Pet Hates". Not "Something I dislike, but feel free to tell me I'm wrong and don't have the democratic right to have an opinion on the 'something I dislike' in question"

In other words , some people don't like spelling mistakes, so that's that , end of. None of you can tell them they don't have the right to say it!

What about the use of double negatives, such as " I ain't not got no money". That really pi***s me off.

There are a lot of double negatives in song lyrics, just to make the words fit in the line, I expect. I think kids of today think it's normal. The Rolling Stones have a lot to answer for in I Can't get No Satisfaction!

Engineers straight out of university! Only came across one in my years as an electrician, knew it all and knew screw all... He came in boots kicking trying to tell seasoned electricians, including myself, how to do the job...My mate on another shift and myself soon had him running away tail between legs...LOL

He used to avoid both of us like the plague for fear of being ridiculed...I could post more on here about him, but I'd sooner forget him.
