if you read my post's you may have noticed i'm not the best at spelling.. i think i could be dyslexic, my father and one of my sisters are, and i tend to make the same mistakes.. also i havent had the need to do much writing since i left school so i'm out of practise.. i believe i'm getting in better, at least i hope so .. anyway the point is this.i once had a discusson with a brother about spelling.he believed there was a correct absolute standard for spelling words, which was the oxford dictionary.. the way it was spelt there is the way to spell it.. if they changed the spelling you should change.. but i feel things like spelling are not absolute.of course people need to understand what we write.but i feel small changes to words to make them fit more inline with how we say them would be benifical.. what is the point of having a word spelt a different way to how it is said?.

but do you judge poster's intelligence on their spelling?.

i guess we mostly do.. how important to you is the way people spell?

The quality of someone's spelling contributes significantly to the overall impression you get of them from reading their posts. If someone's native language is other than English, spelling and grammar errors are quite understandable. If I am not mistaken, the beloved Fred Hall once admitted that he is not a native English speaker. But if the posts of a native English speaker are filled with errors, it not only detracts from what they are trying to say but also diminishes their overall credibility.

[quote] Some of your aspirations tend to be pretty unrealistic. At times you are extroverted, affable, sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary and reserved. You have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. You pride yourself on being an independent thinker and do not accept others' opinions without satisfactory proof. You prefer a certain amount of change and variety, and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing. Disciplined and controlled on the outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure on the inside.

Your sexual adjustment has presented some problems for you. While you have some personality weaknesses, you are generally able to compensate for them. You have a great deal of unused capacity which you have not turned to your advantage. You have a tendency to be critical of yourself. You have a strong need for other people to like you and for them to admire you.

The Bible a reliable book!

by Truth Defender in

despite the failings of many who claim to follow the bible and believe it, this gives no excuse to dismiss it's contents.

thru the centuries it has proved reliable and remains the word of god despite all else.
