You pour your heart into a post. Fingers getting numb and yet burning from the heat as your fingers fly over the key board. Fingers hardly able to keep up with your mind. As you finish you say to yourself: There, finally done.
You go back and with satisfaction read a true masterpiece of a post... and there is a typing error and another and another. So, you correct all those errors so that the old high school typing teacher isn't rolling over in her grave. You go back and find you miss a word or two and correct those mistakes. Reread that masterpiece again. Looks good. "Other members eat your hearts out. I am soooo good."
You hit the submit button and wait .
There is your masterpiece, in print, for the world to see. Look how good that post is.... Wait! What the hell... That's not how you spell that word. I just checked it. What another one?!?!... LOL!

Re: You ever notice...
Yep... It happens... And I even have real-time spell checking... I go through periods where my fingers get dyslexic... Or I add characters to or leave characters off words, still ending up with valid words, just not the words I was intending...
I did good... Only had to make three corrections... Make that four...

Re: You ever notice...
did u ever read that e-mail that proved that no matter the sequence of letters in a word, so long as it contained all the letters and started and ended with the correct letter then the human brain could read it perfectly
I just leave my mistakes the way they are...but i am inrcedbily lazy

And I'm such a bad typist. It takes so much effort for me to type up anything that has any amount of detail that I usually get frustrated and never even start over.

I use Firefox so it tells me when I spell wrong, my concern is grammar and sentence structure...

You think
English is easy???
Read to the end . . . a new
twist
1) The bandage was wound around the wound.
2) The farm was used to produce produce .
3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
4) We must polish the Polish furniture.
5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.
6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the
desert.
7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to
present the present .
A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
10) I did not object to the object.
11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row
13) They were too close to the door to close it.
14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.
15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a
sewer line.
16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to
sow.
17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail.
18) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
19) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.
20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?
Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in
eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France .
Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted.
But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly,
boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is
it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't
groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't
the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese?
One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but
not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all
but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats
vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be
committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do
people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send
cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and
a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a
language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you
fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by
going on.
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the
creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all.
That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the
lights are out, they are invisible.
PS. - Why doesn't 'Buick' rhyme with 'quick' ?
You lovers of the English language might enjoy this .
There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other
two-letter word, and that is 'UP.'
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at
the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake
UP ? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP ? Why do we speak UP and why
are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to
write UP a report ?
We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP
the silver; we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock
UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little
word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for
tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one
thing, but to be dressed UP is special.
And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is
stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at
night.
We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP !
To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in
the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of
the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to
it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It
will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind
UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is
clouding UP . When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP...
When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP.
When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP.
One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP,
so........it is time to shut UP!
Oh . . . one more thing:
What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you
do at night? U-P

Re: You ever notice...
Although it echoes my own crazy sentiments and thoughts - the whole thing was sent to me some time ago, I may just edit to ensure I do not receive any undue credit!!!
Re: You ever notice...
arrgh! too late! Just to re-itereat, azeo is not the author of that fine list of observations, including the comments at the end (although I'd be proud to be! and certainly would have liked to have written UP something like that!!), I'd actually thought about making it a bit clearer after returning to read a few times that the c&p continued to the end, I guess this comes under "reading and re-reading" ones posts and finding "improvements" to make! Your right too, sometimes I do have too much time on my hands - although often its more a case of a *bad* decision as to what I'm doing with it! Time to man up, face up to reality, up my game, and work up to doing some more production up-skilling... probably should do some up-keep around the house....

Someone tried to sell me a power lead and a fishing lead. I took the lead and told him to take both his leads and get lost.
