Soupeod 6,064 Posted February 27, 2018 Quote https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etiquette_in_technology#Netiquette "When someone makes a mistake – whether it's a spelling error or a spelling flame, a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer – be kind about it. If it's a minor error, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before reacting. Having good manners yourself doesn't give you license to correct everyone else. If you do decide to inform someone of a mistake, point it out politely, and preferably by private email rather than in public. Give people the benefit of the doubt; assume they just don't know any better. And never be arrogant or self-righteous about it. Just as it's a law of nature that spelling flames always contain spelling errors, notes pointing out Netiquette violations are often examples of poor Netiquette."[11] 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jawny 4,526 Posted February 28, 2018 We can still understand misspelt words. (Incidentally, the correct spelling of “misspelt” is “misspelt”, and while, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, “misspelt” and “misspelled” are both acceptable, “misspelt” is more usual in British English and “misspelled” in American English. btt, defunitly not miss "spelled" Wasn’t Miss Spelled the first runner up in the latest world beauty pageant?

Jawny 4,526 Posted February 28, 2018 There is something fascinating about the poor spelling and grammar used on LinC. The ones who wrote the best tend to be the ones I ignore the most. .....or is it "write the best"? Even world leaders make mistakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
