Can people please spell heel properly?

Is it just me it annoys?

Thanks

[r-man]

Amen.

And before anyone types their agreement with an equally annoying misspelling, it's "hear, hear", not "here, here".

[lagerstarfish]

Will my injuries heel quicker if I can spell it properly?







sorry

[Scraggadoo]

Equally as annoying is your instead of you're...

Argh.   

[fatneck]

I don't, know...
For me, poor spelling is more annoying than poor grammar!
I am a bit of a pedant like 

[rodma]

 

I don't like people using "to" in place of "too" either

[dave]

and people who think fiveten make a shoe called the "anastazi".

[Jaspersharpe]

I could of thought of some others.

[jordysi]

do you mean "could have thought of some others"

[SA Chris]

Do you think?

Physician, heel, thyself.

[jordysi]

think so... doesn't 'could of' in the spoken word come from could've the Apostrophe replacing the 'ha' as the Apostrophe replaces the 'o' in 'does not' and so becomes doesn't ... or am I a thick nothern arse? need to ask Joe Piccelli (sp) he's posh and knowledgeable

Jasper could of done that on porpoise. Their's a lot of it about.

[Sloper]

Wether, whether, weather.

Cvnt, Q'unt, Chris Moyles.

[soapy]

that's a disservice to cunts

[Jaspersharpe]

Of course I didn't do it on purpose. On a thread about common errors in spelling and grammar (and how they irritate you)?

Why would I do such a thing?

Oh and Picalli called my ZX9000s "Gay" the other day so that shows justhow knowledgeable he isn't.

Slightly off topic, but I've been wondering what this means and whether I should take offence or not?

...and people who bother children and brag openly about it on a public forum

A) Does the word "pedant" in any way resemble the word "peado"?
B) What are you trying to insinuate?
C) Am I overreacting?
D) Do I know you?

One is a complete word the other is abbreviation/contraction of a longer word.  They both begin with "pe", but beyond that I can see little similarity.

B) What are you trying to insinuate?

A play on words?

C) Am I overreacting?

Probably.

D) Do I know you?

I doubt you know me, but you may know Richdraws, only you and he can work that one out.

Exactly! Maybe I am overreacting, but I would be interested to hear what Rich has to say?

Probably something along the lines of...

Although a poor simile in this case.
