If you have been reading this blog for sometime you’ve no doubt noticed that there are occasionally some misspelled words. Simply put, I am an awful speller; always have been, always will be! Sadly though, that is something that some of the snarky idiots in the valley just love to jump on and pound.
I view people who want to harp on something like a misspelled word as small minded. They are missing the point of an article because of a misspelled word, a kink in the armor to attack. These are the folks that don’t have much in the way of intellectual depth. They have to go after you on something as simple as a misspelled word or show off their academic prowess at cutting and pasting a definition.
Better yet, if they read what you wrote they’ll respond to it by bringing up something that isn’t even in the article. Their not interested in acknowledging that they agree with you, they’ll dredge up something that you wrote in another piece and keep twisting on it. That is the sign of someone that can’t move on. They can’t just agree to disagree.
Sure I use spell check all the time, but even then a word or two slips through. String me up at the nearest tree! By the way, the Blogger spell check is just terrible. Even I can tell that it is bad!!!
But guess what? I have always acknowledged that I’m a terrible speller. So what! If you continue to read this blog be rest assured that, from time to time, there will be misspelled words. Get over it!
