Spelling on the Internet is atrocious.

I’ve been online since 1996. I’ve been in chatrooms, discussion boards, Usenet newsgroups, instant messengers, and thousands of webpages. Make that millions of webpages.

Now, don’t get me wrong. Take offense if you will, but don’t get me wrong.

I was just an average student in high school. I failed World History twice, and had to go to summer school twice because of it.  I had a 1.0 grade average in Algebra, although I passed Geometry with flying colors. Go figure. But I had a 3.8 GPA in “English.” That included spelling, grammar and literature.

I still can’t write for beans, and thank heavens for Firefox Spell Checker!

But what I’m talking about is the common words that ANYONE should know how to spell and use correctly. Examples:

“Their going to visit they’re relatives.”

“Star Wars is better then Avatar.”

“This is rediculous!”

“I can teach you how to make more profit that anyone else.”

Typo’s? Maybe. In too much of a hurry? Perhaps. But come on… I’m LMFAOAPMP!

Gosh, Firefox doesn’t know acronyms! LOL!

Well, the Internet has become all about Entertainment, hasn’t it?

I’m entertained :-)
