Author Topic: Film-Tech's Worst Speller? Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 02-08-2003 04:07 PM                       "Loose", instead of "lose", is one of my pet peeves; it's probably the most-frequent mistake on the Internet. Using "then", when the writer means "than", runs a very close second.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 02-08-2003 04:09 PM                        Actually Gordon I knew I misspelled it, but I was far too lazy to look for a post of yours to make sure it was correct!  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 02-08-2003 04:28 PM                        Hey Gord! That's what you get from Poe Pedifer.  |  IP: Logged Greg Mueller Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1687 From: Port Gamble, WA Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-08-2003 05:19 PM                        Paul I have a 1954 D47U Cat, that I bought to build the easement road into this property. It's a 4 cyl diesel with a gas "pony motor". But I don't have a generator hooked to it. Wish I did. They don't make'em like they used to. I need to go start it up and drive it around this summer before it dies from neglect. Have I made enough spelling errors to qualify as "on topic"?  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 02-08-2003 05:42 PM                        I'm a lefty and my spelling is atrocious (so said my astronomy prof back in the pre-word processor/spell checker dark ages).  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 02-08-2003 05:49 PM                     Leo wrote: quote: I don't think my spelling is too bad: there are, I'd guess, about 5-10 words in English that I always have trouble remembering the spelling for. Pretty impressive considering there are 400,000 words in the English langauge .  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-08-2003 09:15 PM                     Poe Pedifer said "but I was far too lazy to look for a post of yours" Odd it doesn't take that much work since there are only 3891 of them  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-08-2003 10:02 PM                        I think, going by a # of posts vs. # of spelling mistakes ratio, this is probably the most literate board on the internet. I think Poe would agree.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 02-08-2003 10:52 PM                     I'm a lefty and I don't think that I am that bad of a speller although I do make arrers offten !  |  IP: Logged Mathew Molloy Master Film Handler Posts: 357 From: The Santa Cruz Mountains Registered: Nov 2000 posted 02-09-2003 12:04 AM                     When I'm writing quickly I get letters and numbers mixed up. For example T's and 2's, F's and 5's & V's and 7's. I've turned to writing my numbers out - ala, seven, but when doing so sometimes I'll write se7en, 2wo and 5ive. What a dumb5uck.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 02-09-2003 04:18 AM                       Mathew, that's a unique quirk. Never heard that one before. I've never been able to makes "S"'s very well. Hard as I try, they always look like "5"'s 5o it goe5, I 5uppo5e. :/  |  IP: Logged
