.... is anyone else bothered about it? It drives me crazy when people can't spell the basic words of our language. It makes me want to NAME AND SHAME perpetrators!
Maybe this is because I am anal and a typical teacher. Or perhaps it is important to be able to express yourself well and accurately. I'm not saying people who spell poorly are not intelligent or anything like that - many science teachers I know can't spell at all. But in these days of spell checkers, online dictionaries and so on, is there really any excuse?
Maybe it doesn't matter so long as we all understand one another - language is communication after all.
Thoughts?
