No one of my friends is a grammar freak, always looking for correct spelling and lives to recite rules, found this online and thought I would share,

Apparently there are so many more non exceptions to that rule that it is considered wrong

There are about 44 spelling 'rules' like this, only 3 are correct all of the time and they are obscure ones that nobody remembers!!

Still dirty on my grade 3 teacher for giving me 9/10 in a spelling test. We had just gone through the stupid 'i before e' rule...got 'weight' in the test... Apparently to follow the rule doesn't count in those situations.  >:D

My 11 year old boy corrected my 15 year old daughter about this the other day.
He pointed out that I before E except after C is wrong.

It was determined that I had Dyslexia as a child but yet I had a high IQ yes I was ridiculed at school by others and put down but yet when it came to anything with numbers, puzzles, mechanical, sports both singular and team I excelled.

Is it something you can grow out of I am not sure but what I have found in later life that people that find the need to correct others etc are normally high archivers through school that did not achieve what they wanted in life.

As long as I can get my message across and people understand that is all that is required in my books not that I will pick up your spelling mistakes anyway ;D but the brain is a magnificent piece of engineering.

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

We are all special people some of us more then others  ;D.

Just because you can't spell the way the nerds want you to, doesn't make you dumb!

I am reminded of the dyslexic agnostic insomniac.

He used to lie awake all night wondering if there really was a dog.

Said the instructor to the student pilot. "If you don't correct your yaw, you're going to crash."
The guy in the lift pushed the button for the second floor then asked me "which floor?"   I said, "I'm going to two too."

And people wonder why English is extremely difficult to learn as a second language.

fellow - pela (and they pronounce F with the P sound)
fasten - pasim
big - bik
easy - isi
door - dua
rubbish - rubis
smoke - simuk



and terms like...... where are you? They say........ u stop where?
close the door gently! .......... U pasim dua isi!!

Proper gramma can be real important, commas especially if you are going the text.

I am going to help uncle Jack off a horse.

I am going to help uncle Jack, off a horse.

I am going to help uncle, jack off a horse.

Not only can little comma can make a big difference, but also where you put it.

Yea, spell check does that all the time and it's easy to miss.

Personally I hate the words that end in "re" Centre and prefer to use US spelling Center - stupid language we have. To, Two, is too much.

And it's p1ssisng down again Ya - not  :'(
