This is the stupidest thread I’ve ever seen. Why would you want to glorify spelling errors and laziness?

I like to think I’m helping in the fight against ignorance by keeping my posts 100% typo free, mostly as an example to others.

Remember, preview _is_ your friend, as is Merriam-Webster.

This post includes at least one mispelled word.  
Limpid Lizard, from _Tumbleweeds,_ would holler: “Eye dew knot!”  
The victims asked for destitution of the stolen goods.  
The buxom young thing was bursting out of her brass.  
Batman has gone high-tech; even he and Robin use a camputer.  
Elmer Fudd, on July 4th, used a woman candle. 😃

I absolutly will not participat in this.

You are encourageing poor spelling and no doubt bad grammer by this.

I insist you retact your OP. In fact, I’m asking the moderaters to lock this thread.

It’s disgraseful!  
(BTW, I’d just like to point out that typos and spelling mistakes are not the same thing.)

OK, admit it; how many people have made genuine mistakes in this thread, and kept quiet?

See how it works? Now if we can be _slightly_ less blatant we can start doing this in other threads…

Just make sure you make obvious errors. Too many 'niether’s will give people a wrong idea.
