Definately

It shouldn't be accepted in schools; every effort should be made to improve it.

But, equally, it shouldn't be used here to humiliate people!

Variant Spellings?
When I was at school that was called being wrong!
Just wait till the Spelling and Grammar Police get wind of this!

[ab@]

If yoo no wot its ment to say then wot is the problum - you bunch of pedants.

[grumbledoak]

So, Crimnlogy lecturr in ex-poltytechnic wants acceptnce?

He can 'Piss Orf'. When I grew up, that was called 'wrong', if not 'lines'. Spelling is not that hard. If you want to be understood, make an effort.

[cqueen]

not nesessary.

[Digger.]

Those who cannot spell should be seperated from the rest of us!

So, rather than tell people they are stupid, simply change it so they are right, no matter what they write..

Still, standards are on the up, so they tell us......

There is a reason behind the spelling of most words, derivation. Lose that and the whole pack of cards comes tumbling down. Just imagine poetry in TXT speak and that's were it would lead. I speak as someone who finds selling more than a little trying, but who finally learnt, it's worth it if you persevere. That said, there are some very harsh pedants on PH, who could be a little less severe, with those who fall short of their standards.

spelling incorrectly puts women off... sounds strange, but I know a few girls who say its a put off as it looks like the guy is a bit thick!
