Postal workers and spelling.

I get weather and wheather mixed up.

Whether

So how many members are also members of MENSA on here

I used to work in a hotel, many years ago. One weekend there was an event held for Mensa. The hotel was full of posh types and wanna-be posh types, brains oozing from every pore, but not one ounce of common sense among them. Yes they could answer an incredibly complicated question on advanced mathematics, but they couldn't open a jar of jam. Oh, and they didn't have a sense of humour either. Or dress sense.
No, they didn't invite me to join.

So the next time deliver a letter with address spelt wrong, I'm gonna bang on the delivery address door, wait till it opens, punch the person in the face and tell them off for having a thicko friend, and also for the aggro of making me having to think!

Note: my spell check shows "spelt" as a query and I have added slang to dumb myself down!!!!!

My sister (who has had papers published and has a Masters Degree) used to think that the shower curtain was only for using when there was someone else in the bathroom with you...

I'm getting under the weather with this,i didn't figure out whether i got it wrong until 2 of you pulled me up about it.

I have to admit my spelling seems to have deteriorated over the years, I have a dictionary extension installed in my Firefox browser that underlines words in red that I have spelt incorrectly. More often the red underline appears when I'm typing these days, even more annoying is my repeated attempts to spell some words correctly resulting in failure . I then have to search for the correct spelling of the word on google

I used to have a hardback Oxford dictionary propping up the sofa but it became redundant when I bought a new sofa . Besides it doesn't pop up in Firefox as a type and say "hey stupid you've spelt that word wrong!"

I do but it's 25 years old! So I have to resort to using one more current!

When I worked in a big delivery office there used to be regular graffiti on the bog wall.This grafitti whilst being rather funny was also riddled with spelling mistakes.Now when I read peoples posts on here the spelling is atrocious.Is it just me or are postmen useless at spelling,I know work in a small spdo and were all ace at spelling.

Sure this must be a wind up (or read that as windup); because surely one would check and recheck ones post for mistakes.

The age of textspeak (that's not a real word is it?) has bastardised the language.

That's what you get though.

It's probably important to remember that much that is posted on Forums (that must be a roman thing); is done quickly to get the point over. Sometimes done with anger.

I'll forgive just about anything ...... Except....... could pople space stuff out a bit. It just makes it easier to read.

Please note that sometimes when I post I might have had a glass of wine and my typing skills could have gone down a bit.

Well you're not the only one hampy - there is one poster on here who seems to be permanently on the sauce
