Why...WHY is it so hard for people to spell "independent" correctly? I received an e-mail today from a potential employer. They want someone who can work "independantly."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I cannot spell the word "definitely" without using spellcheck. I have no clue why, but I have always had trouble with that damn word.

**I did spellcheck before posting this, and I had it wrong yet again!

hahaha....

I am known at work for being the webster dictionary. I might not know how to spell everything, but for the most part I can. ha

This is mean, and I love her to death, but have you ever read any of Lauranetta's blogs? They make me cringe. She writes/types the way she talks. I had an english class with her in college and helping her proofread her papers drove me INSANE. I never ever even proofread my papers in college and always made a B or better. I think she deep down hated me for that. ha

"Their" so "independant", they don't even has to abide by your facist ways of spelling and "grammer!" They want someone as "independantly" minded as they are for "they're" hip new way of living like "peeps" who just dont even hardly care!!!!!

My biggest, BIGGEST incorrect spelling snafu has GOT to be in the canine world. I own 2 dogs...one is a purebred German Shepherd, the other is a German Shepherd mix. I have YET to meet a German Shepard or Sheppard. EGADS! And some of these people are in Shep COMMUNITIES!! Don't you think they'd know better?!

Sigh...and would you believe Melody's papers actually say German Sheppard? Oh please, people.

I usually misspell that word. The spelling is not intuitive to me.

Blame the French. Really.

I don't know how people keep misspelling words even though they must see them spelled correctly all the time, though. Well, unless they never read anything at all, even road signs and food labels. Maybe they spend their lives wondering why all those people keep yelling out of their car windows, and why marmalade-and-gravy sandwiches taste so funny.

As I was going to the lunchroom, I saw a guy dressed in ratty knit shorts & a plain men's white t-shirt (untucked, of course) come in & tell the receptionist he was there to follow-up on the application he filled out last week.
