For Ron , The spelling police

[Horse Called War]

I received this email today: The Finnish word "pilkunnussija" literally means "comma fucker" - This is a person who needs to point out EVERY spelling mistake.

Personally, I've never understood why it was so complicated to get at least half the words in a sentence correct. I mean, were people not paying attention in elementary school?
Maybe they thought it was one of those things that just wouldn't matter once they entered society?

They must have had a similar word in the Winter War for "Commie Fucker" too!

I admit, I sometimes make spelling and grammar mistakes. Its usually because I am either typing during cocktail hour, or I am in a hurry to get out the door or something. If its just on a forum or email to a friend I dont get too concerned, but I check my stuff good when its for work or something important. I will say this though, you should see some of the job applications we get at work. WOW. I mean Fucking WOW. I have NO idea how they got through school. No idea at all.

One of my little joys in life is picking up bad spelling and punctuation in letters, getting a fucking big red marker pen, circling the errors, adding a Grade and a little personal message (along the lines of "Send this back when it makes sense, I can only read English, you spastic") and popping it back in the post from whence it came (without a stamp, obviously). Some people really do take it badly, I've had some very threatening phone calls! I'm only trying to help them!
