You shouldn't use contractions in essays or job applications anyway. Looks bad.Quote:

Why the hell would a mis-spelling provoke an emotion strong enough as annoyance? Good God, ignore it or correct it, get over it & get on with your life.
No misspellings bother me. Ive gotten used to writing 'Color' rather than 'Colour' in HTML etc so its not too bad. I do hate all the american different spellings, as sometimes I hand in essays with spellings I thought were right, and got back "AMERICAN SPELLING!!".
Thats kinda annoying, but there's nothing you can do about it. If I make a misspelling, I just change it.
I spell grammar as grammer without realising.
portuaguese... :eep: It's portuguese
wll i doesnt think i ever dos do tha:love:

Oh man just looking at it gets me all riled up. I hate doing that. I wish my fingers wouldn't smurf up the shift so much.
Any essay marker who demands American spelling deserves to be shotQuote:

I once asked my maths class how to spell definitely, cause I had no idea. Neither did any of them. Now I know how to. :D
And yes, coulour gets me quite a bit too.
No, I was getting told off for USING American spelling xDQuote:

Its rare that I typo. Nothings ever all that consistent when I do. Misspellings however are usually just ignorance. Difference has two f's while definitely has one. That's a bother. But you learn. I think English and American-English should be interchangeable. Sometimes I like to add a U to words for flare. I'm in love with the backspace and a little too concious of what I'm typing sometimes
That's pretty strict. If I happened to type/write 'colour' or the like, it wouldn't be marked on our papers.Quote:
