Spelling

[pace lawn care]

If you can't spell any better than I can, here's a tip. Any word you're not sure of, just hit 'Mail' then 'NEW MAIL' then type in the word and hit 'SPELL CHECK.' Some guys might not post because of this problem. Help's me because I can't spell Jackk.:D

How are we suppose to know if our commas and sentences are grammaticly correct?

[Lawnworks]

Stay in high school.:)

[pace lawn care]

The minds a terrible thing to waste. (Too late for some of us.)

[BRL]

I'm starting a new winter business. Send me $1.00 per post and I'll proofread them for correct spelling, syntax, punctuation & grammar. My first edit is free: cos, It should be "supposed" in your particular question. :)

[landscaper3]

who cares if our commas, sentences or spelling is incorrect, we arent in the spelling business or at least im not!

Looks like I mowed over someones toes. All I was doing was offering a tip.

[Alan]

Pace, your tip was well taken. It's a shame that it seems to be optional online to be literate. I can't help but wonder where some of the posters here would be in respect to writing a contract if their computers lacked spell checkers. Maybe we're not in the spelling business, but if the literacy shown online is any indication, it's amazing that some here can survive in any business.

Now THAT is gonna mow some toes!

[KirbysLawn]

I'M JUST TIRED OF THOSE CAPS!!!! VERY HARD TO READ IN A LONG PARAGRAPH!!

[The Lawn Genie]

Well said Man.

[landscaper3]

well I guess I was misunder stood, Spelling, grammer, commas and everthing else is important in my contracts yes We do spell check but for forum talk I like 2 shorten my words somtimes 2 make it quicker on posts do 2 im not a fast typer. 4ever shorter to me is much fas2r.

[Scag48]

I will introduce every1 to chat talk (spelling not required)

Every1=everyone
BRB=Be Right Back
LOL=everyone knows that
ttyl=talk to yall later
4ever=forever
ne1=anyone
and so on...

I could go forever but the whole point of this post is that every1 knows what LOL is and that this site will be here 4ever and that ne1 can be on here. I'll ttyl.

[KirbysLawn]

Please.....no.......I can't translate all that, maybe CAPS LOCK AND por speling is'nt that bad after al.

In my case, its not as much a matter as spelling, but my fat fingers hitting the wrong keys...Im sure you folks will get over it.

Some times a fellers spelling and command
of propa english, gives us a little better
idee of where hes coming from.

Wheres aunt bee Awn? Goooolleeee-- my impression of Gomer.
Awwww paaawww---my impression of opie
Nip it--nip it in the bud---my impression of barney

[Likestomow]

Charles, how about giving us your impression of Al Gore?<G>

[Charles]

Al gore- "I gave my wife tongue in front of millions"
Bush- " Tax refunds for eeeevvveryone as long as you elect mmeeeeeee. Freeeee whoppppeerrs fooorr everyone as long as you elect meee. Busineees can dump all the oil in the sea as long as they elect meeeee etc etc"

[TJLC]

I think everyone here knows what is being said, reguardless of the spelling. I know sometimes I get in a hurry to get my thoughts typed out and I don't always watch my spelling. Hey we are all human here!

[cos]

Brl,

That was good. LOL

You would make alot of money off of me. I am not the greatest when it comes to spelling, but then again that's why they make proofreaders.

[Toroguy]

In this business I try to better myself at all times. It is a process that will take me my lifetime, but has begun.

If you are a bad speller why not try improving. Buy a dictionary and make an effort.

If my competition cant spell or communicate I could care less. Im not about to give my competition that edge.

In this forum it is easy to slack on the spelling, if so make sure to concentrate when it is needed most... with customers and employees.

[Eric ELM]

Maybe if we have a National LawnSite get together, we can have a National LawnSite Spelling Bee. :) I know I wouldn't win it, but I don't think I would come in last either.

I was looking for a thread that had the word ANGLE in it, but couldn't find it, so I put in ANGEL and found it. There were 28 threads that had ANGLE spelled wrong. So basically what I'm saying here, if your looking for a thread and can't find it, try putting in some misspelled words and you might just find it. :)

[Charles]

Funny, but sad and true Eric:)

[pace lawn care]

Sorry guy's but you all missed my point. Some people might not post because of their spelling. I know I have tried to post, didn't know how to spell some words so I just gave up. Hey this is my first flaming envelope, thanks .

[awm]

No offence pace . It was a good tip.
We just laughing at our selves mostly.
For me i have to laugh to keep from crying.
When i was in the service mom kept all
my letters so i could read them to
her. When i got back home.

[landscaper3]

WOW for a non lawn related post this got alot of replies LOL!!On an honesty level spelling is important in alot and most of your daily duty's BUT RELAX HERE this is for fun or educating yourself to lawn related or sometimes non-related lawn posts. P/S did I spell all this write????

[cos]

yeah pace,

It pointed out one of my biggest flaws.

[Runner]

Hey, this reminds me: Did anyone see the movie, Drowning Mona?

[tslawn]

Don't know about some of you, but I was a professional proof reader for 11 years but sometimes...I just gotta say..the Bud Light gets in the way.. y'know what I'm sayin'????? hahaha
