I see a lot of guys and gals on here questioning their spelling. Well, personally, if a word in someone else's post is misspelled, I couldn't give a crap. However, I must say that some of the misspellings and poor grammar on here can be amusing.

Anyway, for those of you who are concerned enough about your spelling to put (sp?) after a word you are unsure of, there is a Spell Check button that works quite well.
Just a suggestion...

Not to jump on anyone, but... Sometimes the bad spelling comes across as a sign of immaturity or lack of intelligence. The one that gets to me is typing "breaks" when they really mean "brakes".

I try to do my best at checking my spelling and going back to edit my posts if I catch anything later.

Let me correct you on that.

It's "I ARE here fer fun".

Wow. You must have put a lot of thought into that ending

No big reason really, other than boredom. I just noticed some people putting (sp?) after words they were unsure of, and I didn't know if they knew about the spell check feature. That's it.
