Well, I went and did it last evening. I thought that I could hold off, avoid it altogether. But I just could not.......... Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed


I posted a spelling correction to RobWheatley's gas gauge entry.

My apologies Rob.


It is a reflex at this point. Five out of seven days of the week, I have to read the results of patients SLAUGHTERING every imaginable word until I sometimes have to ask them what they wrote. Rolling Eyes

But I promise....I will not do it again...I will not do it again.

Personally I don't mind being corrected. And more importantly, if we spell at least the important words right, it will come up on some future searchers results.

This is now known as Obsessive Compulsive Orthographic Correction Disorder or OCOCD! I have it too.. I have been known to correct apostrophes on restaurant 'special' boards.. Shocked
At the same time I tell linguistics students that we should be descriptive not prescriptive - I must truly have 'issues'! Embarassed

I have it to, but mine is usually relegated to when people try and "dis" others.

Nothing spells irony better than when you try and make fun of someone and you make grammatical/spelling errors.

Especially when the aggressor is making fun of the person's grammar or spelling!
