It really takes the wind out of someone’s sails that is asking for help or giving good advise when the next poster corrects language.

See above, and it is advice BTW.

what good is reading it over going to do if you don't know how to spell it in the first place. Also your preconceived opinion of people that make spelling mistakes is pretty lame. Do you take account people that have serious dyslexia and other factors?

The opinion I have is an atomatic response. When I read something I have no idea the writer has dyslexia. If the writer tells me he has dyslexia I make allowances for that. There is something else I would say. I like to use smilies. The reader might look at the smily to see if someone is serious or merely razzing him.

A quick read of this before clicking submit would have caught the error.

Did you go right to the top and contact the Sears CEO and get that spelling error dealt with?

Also, did you ever think that there might be a preconceived opinion of those that point out these minor errors?

Now I ask this.
If I put Fiji rock in my refugium, does it become Fugi rock? Or does the refugium become a refijium!

Just a thought.

Don't you mean "Smiley"?

Let's not all pick on Bob over a couple of spelling mistakes. Teevee actually spawned this poll from his recent correction. Let's get him!! Quinn? Where you be, man??

[G1GY]

I hope Bob doesn't think I'm picking on him. I'm just playing around with a subject that I'm realy good at! I invented bad spelling and poor grammer and should be the bar of how low should be allowed on message boards.

I'm sure I'll get some pay back for the fun I've had at Bob's expence from him in the near future. (Because my Engrish sux.)
