BannerJohn 1,324 Posted February 5, 2010 I am often tempted to correct bad spelling on here..but usually don't. When I was a boy, they actually taught spelling in school. Do they still? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stormy 5 Posted February 6, 2010 I'm 18. Last time I had a spelling test was in 6th grade. But yes, up until then we had weekly spelling tests. I actually won the 6th grade spelling bee...makes me feel like a nerd. At least I can spell though. haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted February 6, 2010 I definitely have no room to talk about anyone on spelling and grammar. I thought my Grammar wasn't bad until I worked 3 ft from a executive secretary for 3 years and found I am not qualified to talk at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BannerJohn 1,324 Posted February 6, 2010 I once actually stopped dating a girl because her spelling was so bad. I mean, really bad. I knew it was only a matter of time before I went nuts on her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kenya Posted February 7, 2010 You guys are killing me !!! ;D ;D I have to say, I always have my hubby proof my layouts (before I cut). Just yesterday, I had a rush banner to make. The customer actually wanted- HOME GROWN GARDEN'S put on it. ;D I tried & tried to explain the 's is not correct. The man even asked his wife & she agreed with him. So I made it the way that they wanted it, but hated do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrMopar64 47 Posted February 7, 2010 Heck I wouldn't have known the difference ;D MM64 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prestonservco 26 Posted February 7, 2010 The Home Grown Garden's what? Is what I would have said. The rest of the sentence is missing. Apostrophe s means posession. Mike's car for example. That car is Mike's. Misuse of the apostophe drives me nuts! LOL Top of my list: Misuse of to/too Misspelling of alot / a lot Misuse of there / their Two days ago I was just about to click "cut" when I noticed that I misspelled Suite on an address. The customer even proof read and signed off on the spelling. I would have felt like and idiot if I had hung the sign that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get a lot of people with the apostrophe thing..and it seems to be mostly from up north. I thought maybe it was just a regional thing. I usually just correct it without even asking.
