when people say you should learn to spell

cat_race [Edit] [Delete] 38 replies 11:25, 21 December '12

it's not like learning to tie a reef knot or bake a cake or drive a car. like, those things you can either do or not do. but SPELL. it's not for if you can either spell or not spell. there are too many words. there are various stages of spelling between zero spelling and knowing how to spell everything. i don't know if i know anyone who knows how to spell all the words.

      • you learned to spell all the words while you were a child

        cat_race @Cementimental | 21 Dec '12, 13:44 | X
        • I reckon I could correctly spell

          99% of the English words I know and use.

  • sweepthelegdidsbury knew how to spell.

    he seemed like quite an interesting bloke actually.

  • also

    the cardigan i'm wearing today has this thing going on. like the bottom of it rolls up just a little bit. i can't tell if it's a design feature or if there is something wrong with it but nothing i can do will stop it. it wouldn't be as much of an issue if the label wasn't right at the bottom and when it rolls it becomes on display. weird design feature if that's the case. can't work out what is wrong with it though. thoughts?

  • and

    is orange the phone company a thing anymore? i walked down the street and saw the EE shop the other day and also my phone says EE on the screen but occasionally i keep getting messages that are still listed as being from orange. telling me about offers and such. so have they done their switchover badly or is orange still a thing?

    • should probably be a seperate thread, that.

      • yes because cat_race hasn't posted ENOUGH THREADS today

        Cementimental @Jordan_229_2 | 21 Dec '12, 13:36 | X
        • it was all going to be localised here

          cat_race @Cementimental | 21 Dec '12, 13:39 | X
    • Three brands owned by one company.

      Everything Everywhere were formed from a merger of T-Mobile UK and Orange UK. T-Mobile and Orange both continue within the UK and they recently launched EE, including rebranding all their shops and the network identifier on your phone. It's probably a bit confusing but essentially the new brand (EE) serves the other two (T-Mobile/Orange) as well as being a mobile operator in it's own right.

      • it IS a bit confusing!!

        cat_race @colinzealuk | 21 Dec '12, 13:44 | X
  • You only need to know how to spell the words you use

    Not all the words.

    That would be ridikerlus.

    • you're mixing up need and want

  • Not sure learning to spell

    is the biggest worry you have, given the quality of grammar and punctuation in the OP

    Gringo | 21 Dec '12, 12:10 | X
    • aw thanks :)

      cat_race @Gringo | 21 Dec '12, 12:22 | X
  • I'd probably disagree

    Knowing how to spell is not necessarily "knowing" how to spell all the words, it's just about having the judgement to recognise whether something's spelled correctly or not. If you've got that, it's a pretty natural step to work out how to spell all words without checking.

      • not you, the people

        ive got a developmental disorder myself and it's just a bit rude to say to someone that they should learn to spell or whatever isn't it

        there's so many words to learn
