Spiel Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 Spelling errors and minor grammar things don't bother my. Uh, hmmm..... me
Woodsman Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 Within reason who really cares. OK I've seen some posts that leave me shaking my head. If spelling is slightly off or grammar not perfect I don't give a rats arse as long as I can understand the message. For some posters English is not their first language (but their trying their best) and spell check corrections only make it more confusing for them. Lets not forget the purpose of this forum is to share information with our fellow fishermen(fisherwomen).

This is what I was trying, very badly btw, to get at... but when the post is impossible to understand, it will get ignored and that doesn't serve anyone well. HH PS... did I mention that GBW has problems with the truth??? Bah ha!

A Incidentally, we say "incorrectly spelled" or "spelled wrongly" not "spelled wrong". Wrongly is an adverb and it answers the question "how was it spelled". The word "wrong" is an adjective answering the questions what or which.
lookinforwalleye Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 How ironic. I think you'd best edit the title of your post if you're worried about grammar.
