Dramatic increase in spelling mistakes on the SDMB?

I’ve actually stopped trying to post to the SDMB from my tablet, because it’s too easy to make a mistake and too hard to go back and fix it. I read the boards a lot on the tablet, but if I want to contribute to a thread, I’ll usually subscribe and then come back to it on a computer with a full keyboard, so I can do a better job.

I suggest the OP learn how to read better. When processing clusters of words, there’s little room to notice a misplaced letter here or there. Faster reading AND less annoyance is a win-win.

I have to disagree. An elementary mistake can be glaring. No matter how many clusters you process.

My cluster-process key doesn’t work.

Me to.

The only thing that really stands out/bothers me on this board is how even the posters with the best spelling and grammar misspell/mis-use “everyday/every day.”

Most defiantly.

Wait till it makes you throw stuff down quarries.

I generally just skip such writing. It’s just too hard to read. And my pst experience is that it usually isn’t worth the effort to read it – people whose writing is such a disorganized mess usually have just as disorganized thoughts.

I can see an esculator as being a Quebecois escalator used by sitting on your cul, like ass-sledging 'cept on the way up… but I think I don’t wanna know what a perculator is.

Like hell. I read in clusters and one of the reasons I hate certain spelling errors is that they are the reading equivalent of pulling on the hand brake.

Well, there’s this thread title that’s somewhat problematic. :smiley:
