I scored average on that test, which is fairly strange as i tend to be a pretty good speller when im not being lazy. (Lazy in my case would be not punctuating contractions, and certain pronouns, and will run words together at times.)

I was quite surprised that i missed so many.. 12, and 20 were the ones i knew id get wrong. I also got #8 wrong. I interchange all right and alright fairly often. That seems to be a contested spelling however and shouldnt really count.

Yeah, I suppose "alright" could qualify as an actual word (in fact, sort of is: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/alright). I don't really like it--even as a phase. It's boring. At least when written.

Say it as much as you like. Verbal language is fluid. When writing, however, it may be better to opt for something with more substance. Outside of dialog I'm not sure there are many places for it.

im a terrible speller. as you can all tell lol

51 Days 20 Hours ago, DranoK said...

As long as you try to get better ;)

I s'pose it's a relative thing. Honestly, I consider myself a bad speller. My email and posts to Deadgod are typically riddled with red underlines.

Just get better over time ;)

Drukas a hillbilly. What you see there is about as good as it gets...

51 Days 19 Hours ago, Colonel_Lance said...

bleh, I got an 80%

51 Days 19 Hours ago, DranoK said...

The more you read and point out mistakes, the better you'll get ;)

I didn't take the test.

48 Days 10 Hours ago, DranoK said...

No. You probably didn't.

48 Days 7 Hours ago, noggin said...

Oh c'mon, that wasn't offensive enough to get deleted.

I missed persistent and compliment. Thought they were persistant and complement respectively, though both are real words. Got a 90%. Usually I bother with grammar, on WoW etc, but if I'm on my shitty cell phone where I have to go about 10 seconds out of my way to say you're instead of your, I don't care; it's the same thing.

44 Days 5 Hours ago, DranoK said...

Or, you could just say "ur" on a cell phone.

If you're gonna type out a full word, type out the right one :) Personally I can't help but roll my eyes at your/you're mistakes...

44 Days 5 Hours ago, noggin said...

I shit blood when people use 'ur'.

43 Days 20 Hours ago, DranoK said...

Yes, but shitting blood is normal for you, no?

43 Days 15 Hours ago, Onionpaste said...

I also hate when people use "ur." Just seems so uncultured. Plus, I usually use the "word" function on my phone, and that doesn't come up as the first option (phone word system is dumb and I'm too lazy to use the abc function).

43 Days 15 Hours ago, DranoK said...

I've never actually set a text message :)

I have no problem with useful abbreviations. I do when the wrong word is chosen.

43 Days 14 Hours ago, Onionpaste said...

Then we must agree to disagree. Good day, sir.

43 Days 10 Hours ago, DranoK said...

I don't agree to that.

42 Days 18 Hours ago, Darth Druka said...

woot 80 percent... i only got a cell phone recently and i dont use it.
