Quick poll to see who gives a damn how fuji is spelled in posts.

It's about whatever you'd like it to be about. Cameras, islands, apples, whatever.

Maybe you need some more options -

3) I care enough to correct people on it in threads, but not enough to vote on a poll

4) I just like to read polls but not participate

5) Whoops, I clicked on the wrong thread

I can tell who looks at this and doesn't vote. Tony, you got a PM already. Bob, your vote is a given

BTW Are we talking about Mount Fuji in Japan? Or Fiji? See the problem is either way it's misspelled, and now I'm not sure what we're talking about!

Just for the record, I have now voted

You know what I think. Correct spelling is important to me because when I read something spelling errors jump off the page at me. That is not voluntary, it is just the way I am. For example I was at Sears the other day and noticed they had a Laudnry Centre on sale. Nobody but me had noticed the error. I also have a preconceived opinion of the person who makes these errors. That is also the way I am built. In my way of thinking it takes very little effort to read over one's post before hitting the "submit" button. I also hate the BB shortcuts such as U for you etc. To me that is just lazyness. Now a quick leap off my soapbox.

As far as I'm concerned spelling doesn't count as long as the idea is conveyed.
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.
