spelling
Back in the olden days, before I had Internet access, I used to be fastidious about my spelling, grammar, and punctuation. I felt that it just made life easier.
Of course, then I discovered email groups and chat. One is forced to decipher misspellings constantly.
Some misspellings are very common due to inversoin of letters as people type too fast. This occurs in particular with short words liek teh or adn. These occur wiht such frequency that they often go unnoticed until well after posting.
Then not too long ago a study came out of egnland showing that entire sentneces could be comptelely misslpeled, yet peploe wulod slitl udnrestnad idemmtileay as lnog as teh frsit adn lsat letrtes of each wrod were in teh smae retalvie lcoatoins.
So, now I am considering abandoning my commitment to correct spelling. Can grammar and punctuation be far behind? eh?
