« on: March 08, 2012, 12:51:45 am »

I have noticed that i have several words i cant spell right w/o spellcheck. here's one example.

nessacary/nesacary/nesasary/nesecsary nope no idea.


on the other hand some words are impossible to pronounce for some people.

I used to intentionally use "it's" for all forms of its, but much to my dismay, I've fallen into correct usage.


Damn you nonsensical english language.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

I, like the rest of this god forsaken race, always screw up the apostrophe, and then there is 'there' and 'their' and 'coarse' and 'course'... Damn this ill fated language!!!

Other than occasionally slipping into American spelling and not bothering with proper capitalization, I usually only make regular typos. But those happen a lot.
