[My] Life in Wisconsin

Warning- Spell Check Malfunction!


Before I leave, I just HAVE TO share this...
As I am surfing around, I read the following:
"I may not have a college degree but that does NOT make me uneducated, stupid, ingnorant"  end quote.

TRUE story!

Sheesh, now I gotta try to figure out what "ingnorant" means... 

XOXO
Me

PS
I will be back soon.

  7. And yet a google search of the word turns up 147,000 matches in just 0.24 seconds.......

    INCLUDING the urban dictionary where it is misspelled NUMEROUS times....


    I liked this little gem:

    "SoapBox (575 posts) Sun Aug-22-10 11:37 PM
    Response to Original message
    6. This shows how ingnorant and stoopid Americans have become"


    Or this one:

    "Your the most stubborn, ingnorant, self-centered, impractical, uncultured, cynical, bitter, hot headed, short tempered, physical, unapproved by my parents, a bit of an asshole, jerk.
    But i love you, completely<3"

  8. You should see some of the letters and words my fingers type out after getting messages from my brain; some of the formations of words are back to front ect, my fingers type words prior to receiving the complete message from my brain, therefore my fingers are in fact showing complete ignorance towards the motor of the vehicle engine.
    I also think I have Screen Text Attention Deficit Disorder as well :-(
    which by the way has nothing what so ever to do with this post :-) Have a lovely night there

  9. when I have a migrane I spell inside out lol

    ReplyDelete
  10. and I quote as per your own words in one of your own comments....But I am NOT a liar!

    This post is proof positive that you CAN see what's on my page!!!! Like you have never misspelled something and not noticed it!!!! GEESH!!!

    ReplyDelete
  11. While people like you are getting through life being polite, I am thinking about kids and others who actually are TRYING to learn, and encounter something like this.

    So, in accordance with your scripture I am impolite.
    That's OK.
    The point was NOT to point out a single spelling error- See, it was the actual word that was misspelled that was quite hysterical -in a very sad way.

    Read the entire statement- This error makes the whole statement null and void.

    Spell check is just a single click away... So it is not only stupidity, it is laziness.

    You, like many others, find this acceptable. Clearly, I do not.

  12. hehehe

    Nah. Fingers are doing the thinking!

  13. Thank you Will.
    You actually "got" it.

    Truly, it is a gem!

  14. You have STADD?

    Thank you too! I am having a 'wondermous' night!!!

  15. I believe I do the same thing when I have a migraine.
    The author mentioned many things, but did not mention any reason to misspell anything.
    Again, the exact spelling error is what makes that sentence completely remarkable..


    ReplyDelete
  16. I believe I provided the link to the post I could not see. I never said I could not see the rest of your page.
    Of note is DeeAnne's comment of how many exact errors JUST LIKE THIS were found on the internet from only one search engine.

    Sure, I have misspelled a whole bunch of things- a whole bunch of times.
    I am not perfect. Nor have I ever ever claimed to be.

    Be that as it may, there IS a little red line that appears when one types a "boo~boo" -That little red line should be telling us something...
    Additionally, there is a preview button on Multiply (and almost everywhere else), that would also highlight any potential problem areas.
    Use it, or not. Your choice.
    But if you don't want to use it, and had this comment come from your page, then you deserve to be remarked upon.

  17. The correct use of a language is to convey the content's intention to the recipient.
    Sibylic content should be minimal and presented without cross reference.
    Spelling is the result of usage and meaning in the first instance until the word comes into full use.
    Entered into a Dictionary, the word and its spelling should be accepted as normal.
    Vocabulary?
    Normally a useful number in basic form and a maximum number where a discipline is involved.
    A Multi disciplined person may have knowledge of at least 1,000 words per discipline.

  18. Bill,
    You are a rare gem of a man!

    Thank you for this!

    XOXO
    Me

    Must ask... (Please forgive my ignorance).
    You lost me with your use of "sibyllic". Is that prophetic?
    My computer is dragging badly- or I would go look it up.

  19. to true and like you said spell check is wonderful and just a click away

    ReplyDelete
  20. I'm college educated, and still make errors in my spelling, spell check is a beautiful thing, however I will admit most times I dont use it...lol.....dunno why.....probably because the eye can read things totally misspelled and still comprehend it. aaaaaaaaaaand I'm lazy.....You know what I just noticed my Sweet Annie, there are two people who read you that I had as my friends and I deleted them because they give me a friggen headache...lmao.......

  21. Dear Annie,

    Spell check is too easy to use. I lament that there are many instances where homonyms are used incorrectly. Another example of a lack in grammar as is spelling. There and their are NOT interchangeable. To and too are so frequently misused that to see them used properly is getting unusual. Poor spelling drives me batty and yes, I am as guilty of it as the next person. My personal misspelling or poor grammar can be attributed to not proofreading first. (I hate it when I do that!) LOL.

    Now that I have been all over the board, I will quietly go away so you can giggle at my mental perambulations this morning.

    oxox,

  22. Well for one thing , I wonder why it was so important to anyone that the typo was world changing in some way

    ReplyDelete
  23. Sweet Pam;
    I am giggling at YOU being lazy! hehehe (Yeah, right). I get worn completely out just reading of all of your adventures. Course then when you mention your yummy foods, then I get hungry too. hehehe

    I received an email once upon a time that had only the first and last letters of every word in their correct position. All the remaining letters to each word were jumbled. Yet the mind can read each word as if it is OK.
    A mind is a wonderful thing!

    XOXO

    PS
    She was deleted a long time ago, during her unwise attempt at posting a HealthCare blog.
    Or maybe she deleted me for trying to post the links to the bill so she could read and learn?
    Either way, she is deleted but not blocked. (If I blocked her, these things wouldn't be so much fun for me).

    I know. Twisted, right?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Sweet Snotball!
    I will be adding to your list on a blog of my own. There was an article on Readers Digest a while back about just that sort of thing.

    While I am really NOT the "Spelling Mafia", to make an error like the one above, (especially when trying to make that specific point), was laughable! (To me).
    No. To be honest, it was hysterical...
    ... Suffice to say that I was darn happy I didn't have a cold.

    XOXO
    Me

    You are most welcome to run around my board any old time you wish!

  25. Dear Bill,
    I just wanted to thank you once again for your wonderful note!
    I love when you write!

  26. Here it is again.

    To make an error like the one above, (especially when trying to make that specific point), was/IS/ and should be laughable!

  27. I see only a part of the audience caught the humor.

    That is why the word "IRONY" was invented....


    the humor is in calling someone a name while BEING that same word.

    ReplyDelete
  28. We caught it, we just did not think it funny , cute or otherwise.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Well if you caught it, then I wasn't talking about you then.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Oh for heaven's sake! Don't get your panties in a bundle.... It was just something hilarious that she stumbled across...

    If a person is so conceited that they are unable to laugh at themselves, there's a problem... You have to be able to laugh at yourself or more appropriately said, with yourself or life will be absolutely awful...

    ReplyDelete
  31. YES!

    I second that thought...

    The irony that this quote is setting is great! "I'm going to prove I'm not stupid, then in that same sentence, prove that I am!"

    WOW!!

    Takes all kinds, I guess... :)

    I might be outnumbered by idiots, but I'll never give in to them!!!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Yep, funny how things turn out that way, right???

    This is exactly why "IRONY" was invented!!! I am still laughing my butt off about this slip!!!

    ReplyDelete
  33. SO...

    Why are you commenting then???

    Seems as though I was taught that if I didn't like something, to stop looking at it...

    If you don't like this blog... Get off... Problem solved... You don't have to see it anymore...

    Why is this concept so friggen hard for people to get???

    Do you like exposing yourself to things that hurt you or things you dislike???

    If so, I would talk to a doctor if I were you, because that's just not right... Not trying to be mean here, just trying to understand the reasoning behind these actions...

    ReplyDelete
  34. Mommy!!

    This is the funniest thing I've seen all day!! Definitely the most ironic, too! I can't believe that the person who wrote this missed that word! That completely proves that the whole statement should be ignored...

    Sorry "others" have found this to be disturbing, or cruel... But, they must be into that S&M stuff if they keep bringing themselves back to things they don't like!!! It's like hitting yourself in the face and then complaining because it hurts... DUH?

    Anywho, thank you for posting this! Absolutely made my day!

    Love you MUCH MUCH!

  35. "Irony!"
    Where the heck was that simple word when I was looking for it????
    'Tis the way of our world Sweet Pea;
    But then again it only solidifies Astra's comment above "The average American is a moron."

    Or... a "Maroon" as Suzy pointed out!

    Do you have a mouse in your pocket?

  38. Bless me Father for I have sinned.

  39. Words SO true-
    ... Especially when spoken from one who has stared "Death" in the face and LAUGHED at him too!
    That's either balls or brightness. (I rather like to think it is both).

  40. Slip?
    I have a slip in my closet upstairs.

    Go figure.

    I love you too-

    I just 'hafta' go hit myself in the face now...

  42. I have said it before.....

    It is hard to take death seriously when you are picturing him with the waistband of his underwear pulled up over his head...

    Hmmm? "Death with a Wedgie"
    Yes. I like it quite much!

  46. You said you were wordless. At first I thought you were making a funny, then I panicked and decided to prepare for armageddon in case you were serious. All stocked up now.

  47. ROTF...
    But you can get out of the bomb shelter now...

  48. I'm sorry you felt you had to reprimand Annie for her choice.
    Perhaps if we bring more attention to these errors, people will learn to spell, & use grammar correctly.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I'm dyslexic, due to severe nerve damage from an antibiotic in 1997. I wasn't born with it. This has made typing very difficult for me, & I can't even write by hand.
    I assume that you must have taken the time to preview your post, as I always do. I don't feel that there is any excuse for misspelling unless...
    a person is ingnorant.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I'm doing this in reverse, so, what I say may have already been stated.

    Well said, Annie.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Oops, Heidi! " too true..." :~)
    You're not alone, I often see too for to or to for too...hmm...sounds like a song! ♪

    ReplyDelete
  52. As I wrote, I'm reading this blog in reverse!

    Your & you're is another. My favourite rants are "The both of them," & "What school did you went?"

    So far, it seems that ingnorant may soon be in the dictionary!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Did anyone say it was "world changing?"

    ReplyDelete
  54. Good response. Some people aren't even aware that they're contradicting themselves.

  55. Someone gets their panties in a bundle a lot....almost gave poor Jack a nervous breakdown....hee hee!

  56. "Bark softly and carry a big bone"
    (Sorry Sweetie. I just had to).

    ReplyDelete
  57. That's fine!

    I'd prefer to say: Yap incoherently while slobbering on an old bone.

    ReplyDelete
  58. You know what they say about dogs with big bones?

    ReplyDelete

  59. What do they say?
    Does it really mean he has BIG paws????

  63. I have a silly little poem (internal rhyme) that rolled off my tongue in a situation something like this.

    "Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee
    Someone is trying hard to get to me
    I wonder if it could be jealousy or
    JUST a bone stuck in a craw, maybe
    a stomach ache or green bile.

    DOG WITH A BONE
    by Lucija Jovanovic

    A dog with a bone
    JUST can’t leave it alone.
    The bone is splinters
    in its teeth, causes awful
    grief! Perhaps I should give
    it some relief, toss a piece of
    meat loaf over my balcony
    rail? I hate to see it flail, poor
    thing, there on the ground!
    Will it be taken to the pound?
    Doesn’t seem to have a home,
    JUST an old, splintered bone."

    ReplyDelete

  64. Very cute!
    If one really gets to the depth of this rhyme, it is quite dangerous! hehehe
    Well said!
