Does anyone check their spelling before they start a discussion?

We have to remember Bhlue125 that we are corresponding with people from all over the world here. It is a venue for them to be able to hone their writing skills in a language other than the one they use every day. You,and I are fortunate to have an excellent understanding of what is a very difficult language to other people. Imagine what our spelling would be like if we had to converse in their native language. I say good on them for trying,to hell with the spelling as long as they get their message through.

I can pick out errors in any work other than my own. I have sent out posts, emails, letters to doctors, etc. and checked each over with a fine tooth comb. The error usually appears after the enter button is pushed, or after the letter carrier has picked up the mail. I try not to lose sleep over it.

lol i often check my spelling but i might sometimes do a typo. it does bother me when people dont spell correctly but i also have to remember that there are many people on here who dont speak english as a first language and so they often miss-spell stuff
