Do you feel dumb?

Just some few minutes ago, I started a discussion under Life category. And I felt so dumb upon realizing that I misspelled a very important word on that post. I spelled the word victor as vector. It seems that everything has gone out so wrong with that post because I misspelled the word. I really felt the need to delete that discussion of mine but I don't think I could do that. Maybe admin can. I felt so dumb and so so sad about it.
How about you when you misspell an important word in one of your post do you feel dumb after realizing such mistake?

Yes most of the time and I think it is wrong because one day I might have the bad habit of calling myself dumb and accepting it that I am really dumb. About the wrong spelling that always happen to me from time to time and I guess everyone of us experience that too. It's nothing to be ashamed of because we all made mistake.
The important thing is that never make a habit out of it and just pretend that it's okay to do so because others have done it. Sometimes I am guilty of that too.
Every time I made a discussion or replies I will see to it that I have read and check my spelling to avoid mistakes.

You are absolutely right reckon. But there are times when we really feel bad towards our mistake no matter how small it is. However, I do agree with you that we need to check on the grammar and spelling first before posting it and always make it a point that whenever we made a mistake, we should not ignore it but take notice of it to avoid doing the same mistake over and over again.

I see so many people around there misspelling so many words every day. And that's the way they write, some of them even don't have an idea on how the particular word should be written. So if I misspell a word here and leave it unnoticed, I don't feel shameful or dumb about. I don't misspell the words often. People do make mistakes, it's normal.

Everyone feels dumb sometimes. I tend to feel this way whenever I feel stressed out (which lately has been a lot). I also feel this way whenever I take an exam because I am always afraid that I will fail my exams. I work hard all semester and have spent a lot of time getting projects done. I have two more weeks of school then my husband gets me back fulltime. I have been so busy with school that he has been cooking dinner most of the week. I appreciate it helping me out.

hi Shello! no, I don't feel dumb at all and I even know that I am a very clever guy and have never felt dumb or even less clever than the others because I have always tried to be the best in school, to be the guy with the most answers and the most questions with tough answers :)
