Morning all! Hellos and hugs to everyone. I haven't been doing the quote thing as much/quoting everything on read back because the message editor is a pain to deal with in HTML. (Wish it was WYSIWYG like the old version. Also wish it would quote a thread. Think I'll ask.)

really baaaaaad

Maybe you can learn how to spell "home schooled" next

You beat me to it!

:| I tried

I thought so, Mabey I sould just slow down when I do my typing, that's what does it the most.

In all seriousness, it is good to work on your spelling, because people will often make assumptions about someone's intelligence (which may not be correct) based on misspellings, and when you get older, misspellings in important documents or communications can cause trouble. It'll come, you're learning, but do work on it.

Many of us type fast and make mistakes - there's an edit button for your posts, and you can go back and correct something if you need to. I do it all the time when I find a spelling or grammar error in what I post (I always take a quick second to check). And while my spelling is pretty good, if I'm not sure, I always take a minute to look something up quickly (Google, etc.) to make sure I'm spelling it right, or using the word correctly (and I'm in my 40s with several academic degrees!). I actually think being online has the potential to improve writing skills a lot more than when I was a child when no one wrote letters but email wasn't invented yet. I'm just glad I don't have to voice type like some do - those posts can be really messed up.

As Liz said, we're a raucous group, and if it sounds like we're picking on you , it's never meant to be mean or hurtful. Tell us if you want us to stop.

(I just looked up raucous to be sure I was spelling it right. I was, but still... )

Speaking of funny speaking people... Duckling has a southern drawl periodically throughout the day since yesterday.
"Bayack"
"Ayybee!"
"Dawown"
"Hayelp may!"

Howdy, Kristin. I miss the rich text editor too, for notes and such, but the HTML version is SO much easier to use than it was before.

I have no clue what touch typing is

You aren't learning it in school?

This is easier than explaining it:

Helps cut down on misspellings because you aren't trying to think how to spell stuff and type quickly at the same time. Obviously, it won't help a root trouble with spelling words, but because it uses muscle memory instead of active thought it's a great help with keeping up with these crazies.

When she was little, my cousin (living in rural Georgia) actually managed to say the word "red" with three syllables. "Ruu-AAAY-uud."
