Mesdup i've met geniuses who couldn't spell 'specific' and words with equal difficulty. but spelling IS important. spelling, when not in vocal contact, becomes your medium of communication. you could be difficult to understand or just misunderstood if you spell words willy nilly. por ejemple, jon said a common misspelling is 'Yeah for Yay'. Yea ('Yea for Yeah' is fine by me) is a remark that confirms. "You want hotdogs?" "Yea." Whereas Yay is an exclamation. "I just blew off that guy's head, Yay." You could find yourself misunderstood, "You want hotdogs?" "Yay" "??? damn crackheads" i know i spell good, and i try to understand what people are saying. but there's nothing worse than a misspelling in 1337 5P34K. 030916 ...

If you expect others to understand you, you'd better learn to spell. 080106 ... hsg or we could think. spelling is also not articulation. it is better to be more articulate than to spell accurately. it is better to have something novel to express or something thought provoking or/iginal than to be grammatically accurate but mindless. 080106 ... somebody Without effective spelling, however, those clever ideas will be lost in the jumble. A meticulous speller conveys a lot when one deviates from orthodoxy; the same turn, performed by a bad speller, implies only an inability to spell. Bad spelling undermines one's message as a whole. Like it or not, that's just how it is. A few mistakes here and there is negligible, but repeated errors such as "to" for "too" or "then" for "than" can quickly lead to incomprehensibility. 080107 ... somebody "Or we could think." The same argument could be levied against the bad speller! 080107 ... Kung fu If you can't spell it PROVES your ignorance, your inability to communicate in a clear and direct manor. You can not possibly have any hope of being creative if you can not spell properly, if you can not spell properly you can not communicate ideas or answer questions in a coherent way.
