Spelling --not necessary

Amzanig huh? yaeh and I awlyas thought slpeling was ipmorantt."

I know everyone can read that. So, why is spelling important? I've seen threads in the past stating, "Spelling is must, etc, etc." No, it's not a must. When I first looked at that, I never knew they were scrambled.

This is a good point.

spelling is eaiser as the brain reacts much quicker than if its all jumbled.

good though nice find
 
Spelling --not necessary
Wow, He's actually right I read it without a problem.

So the brain reacts much quicker eh, if its all jumbled...?

Thats cool...really good find.
 
Spelling --not necessary
wrong, the brain doesnt react quicker to jumbled words, its just that your brain reads only the length of the word and the first and last letters of the word and gives you a word you would know
 
Spelling --not necessary
But what if the first and the last letters are not the same >.>

Its more of grammar that people cannot understand.

"Give me on runescape before the fountain rune plate."

Also, some people like to speak "leet" or type like they are really cool, in which case you cannot understand either.
 
Spelling --not necessary
Spelling is not necessary for understandability. It's more like, looking like you're intelligent or something.

Honestly, who would take you seriously if you typed like that? No one would.

omg lol!!! i think i actually read it almost faster than what i normally read lol... that was awesome they should keep this thread here forever lol its an interesting post, i wanna try that on my friends and see if they can do it too.
 
Spelling --not necessary
all it means is that your brain can still register what word it is as long as the first and last letter are the same and it is the same amount of characters long.

however, that doesn't mean that you can spell wrong intentionally.

This is so old, just because you can read it does not mean you should do it. If you actually spent your time writing like omg I can't c u 2day cuz I r sleppzing then your creditable goes to pot, while if you spell out your words you look like a more intelligent person and you begun to notice your writing skills will improve.

Trust me I used to be lazy but when people call you 12 years old and your really 16 by the way you type you get embarrassed quite easily.

That's not rational. I posted this for one reason, and one reason only: I see people being harassed because of poor spelling -- and some have a reason; they're native language might not be English.

But, CP_ has a sophisticated point -- who would take you seriously if you spelled that way? It's a bad habit to have, but we cannot go harassing people for their flaws.

Why not, I changed the way I typed due to people in Swiftswitch always making fun of me and now I am glad they did.

IF there native language isn't English, they shouldn't be harassed for it.

God damn, that's what I've been trying to stress in the few posts above.

Members don't get harassed because they make minor spelling errors, they get harassed when it looks like vegetable soup was spilled over their post.

Some members do have a native language other than English, that is perfectly fine. But, if you can tell me when someone posts "i cnt wat for u to trd3 me dud, leki sweeet!" and uses the excuse, it's not my native language, that is when members get angry and annoyed.

Like I said, members don't get harassed because they make a few spelling mistakes, they get harassed when members talk in "leetspeak", or purposely spell bad, and trust me, it's very easy to tell between someone making honest typing errors, and someone who just doesn't care.

In the end, spelling is necessary, whether you want to believe it or not.

This is old news.

Edit: Besides, the point behind the research that we can "all read that" is the fact that it is spelled right just assembled in a different order. It's a completely different story if somebody spells using words like "cen" and "noe", words like that are just unnecessary. Words usually used to make typing easier for the person, so they don't have to strain their little fingers as much. Yet, if you actually took the time to write out some of these words you'd realize that they take longer to spell then spelling it in order because you have to stop and double check that they contain all the letters they are supposed to contain.

Well I can read things sometimes for example those leet speak runescape names sometimes I cant even read what it says/means..
 
Spelling --not necessary
Yes i could read that. But it would take alot less time if it was all spelt correctly.

And technically, you where still spelling. In your own little way.

Don't encourage our users to spell like that ;D
