Spelling 101 for RTB
I have been meaning to post this for eons. I see these commonly misspelled words over and over and RTB. I cringe when I read them. I know everyone is not the best speller, so I thought I'd help y'all out a little! (lol)
"definitely" (most common misspelling - "definately" or "definatly") There is no "a". This is the most commonly misspelled word on the site.
"separately" (most common misspelling - "seperately")
"desperately" (most common misspelling - "desparately")
"you" + "are" = you're. (Most common misspelling - "your")
And this is for John White!!:
That squirty toilet thingy is called a "bidet" rather than a "beday". However, it's use still remains a mystery (lol)
That concludes the RTB spelling lesson for the day. Hope I didn't offend anyone! Now I know you'll all be watching my spelling like hawks!
Love,
Stargazer

Re: Spelling 101 for RTB
Actually, there are some genius level people out there who cannot spell. I'm sure you are in that category, Aaron.

Re: Spelling 101 for RTB
And then there are some great spellers (like me) who are so spaced out they would lose their heads if not attached.

I recently went to look at a property where the tenant had a mail order bidet self installed on a regular toilet... i cant imagine such a thing...
they also had a treadmill in the kitchen.. and plastic bags in the dishwasher...
* scratches head *
I'm sure they could spell bidet correctly though.. . from the invoice.
