As someone who spends a lot of time on the internet being a
jerk to strangers I get an abundance of people telling me to “learn to spell” –
like it’s some kind of an insult.
Hey since when is making fun of the slow kid a socially
expectable thing?
LEARN TO SPEL!!! Well no thanks, don’t think that I will.
There are a ton of far more practical things that I would prefer to learn other
than spelling, like how to canoe, how to speak French, CPR, fencing, whatever!
Next time someone tells me to learn to spell I am going to
tell them to learn CPR as it is a FAR more useful way to spend your life than
worrying if some moron you don’t know on the internet wrote than instead of
then.
And really when you say “learn” you mean be born with the
ability to know who to spell words naturally, most people who can’t spell well
aren’t just lazy or ignorant to the fact – they just don’t get it and have gone
past giving a fuck.
Semicolon ? Really? WTF is that all about?
Really who gives a shit? As long as you know what a person
is trying to say – great. People are always talking like this text-talk,
absence of proper spellings is a new phenomenon – well it aint. People only
really started giving a shit about spelling in the last 100 years. Of the five
remaining signatures we have from Shakespeare – they are all spelt differently.
If Shakespeare didn’t give a shit, why should you or I?
