How Often do you make spelling and grammer errors?

[Scott7]

I usually screw up my spelling and grammer quite often, and its embaressing...

How often does it happen to you guys?

[Milkyway64]

I just voted "constantly" when the opposite is true. I read the topic as being something along the lines of "how often do you put effort into your typing?"

Everybody makes the occasional typo, but aside from those I'm nearly perfect.

[Geo Stelar]

I only make mistakes when I try to write or say a word that I haven't used or heard before

On top of that never...

but I can still make mistakes, especially when I'm in a hurry

so I voted 20%

[Guest FoXXX]

I try not to :)

[Kursed]

Probably  50% of the time when I don't remember to use the spell check.(Problem?)

As for grammar depends on how long i want to be posting the post.

[Mr. Foxer]

its embarassing...

[Dublinthefox]

About 50% of the time.

[Guest DRL]

About only 5% of the time, I think.

In instant messages I can be quite bad sometimes at my spelling/grammar but that's because I can type in excess of 80 words per minute on a regular basis and often I don't give a sh*t to correct myself since the people I talk with already know what I'm saying.

When making posts however it's a different story. :)

Since English isn't my native language, I do quite often write in grammar errors in my posts. Only quite recently started to bother using the spell-check from time to time.

A pet peeve of mine when it comes to English, is these kind of words.

Tough

Though

Thought

Through

Thorough

Probably missed out on a couple, but the point is: Who the heck thought it was a good idea to make words one used often and that are written so similar, but can mean entirely different things?

Even though it's not your native language I find you personally do an exceptional job in your posts as I rarely see that many spelling or grammar mistakes.  That being said, do you proofread your posts a couple of times before you click the "Post" button?

Then there are words like "live" that can have two different pronunciations. An example would be if you casually say the phrase "Live and let live".

Thanks. No, not for the most part. As said, I've started to run the spell-check program in my longer posts, and that has helped quite a bit. I've always had top grades in English, and read a lot of literature from the US. That probably helps a lot.

If I'd say that out loud, they would sound exactly similar. I've got quite a bad accent. Sound exactly like Schwarzenegger in his early days.

Maybe this was a poor example. Think of it this way.  "I want to live" vs "On live television"

Yeah, then there will be a difference. Pronounced roughly "Livh" and "Laiv" respectively.

[Matt Macdowel]

never

[CrypticQuery]

never

I hope your not serious  :shock:

[Asper Sarnoff]

never

:lolhyst:

I'd say from what I've seen, you are among those on the forum with most spelling mistakes. Often elementary ones as well.

[Matt Macdowel]

:hehe:

["User"]

The proof is in the pudding, sorry to say :/

[Braux]

I'd say I make them about 20 percent of the time, I'm not perfect at grammar, and on the internet I believe you don't have to be perfect, just enough to get your point across but not to be an idiot about it. Its taught in schools, it dosn't mean it would hurt to try out using spell check, heck I still use it myself.

At this point, I can't get this word out of my head...

[Guest DRL]

To be really honest, you make

spelling mistakes very often.

[Andrew McCloud]

Lmao @ Matt.

If I can learn Modern Irish, anything is possible. e.e Seriously, if you can spell that shit, you can spell anything.

Exept Chinnesse/Japanesse.

Are you kidding? It's easy to spell stuff in Chinese/Japanese. They're very phonetically structured to anyone who knows English (though our pronunciation is off, if you listen to someone speaking the language most the time you'll be able to take a pretty good guess of how to spell it.)

Now, if you're talking about Kanji, that's a different story of course. Russian, Arabic, most Asian languages in fact, have complex non-Roman systems. Depending on how you look at it, the Celtic system could also be of this persuasion. It uses a Roman system, however, but it wasn't originally due to the language having about twice the amount of phonetic sounds than most Roman written languages.

Yeah, I am talking about the ones with

weird writing.
