when i'm not online, texting etc.. i normally have quite good grammar and spelling
I would say that I have quite good spelling. Except for a couple of words which I always get the letters mixed up with for some reason. And when I'mtyping I generally get a lot of spelling errors because I type very fast and don't check stuff very much, but for example, whe our English teacher decided that we were all going to have to check our spellings and correct every wrong spelling we'd got this year, my mistakes were deatail (detail. This was a writing too quick error), rehetorical (rhetorical. A word I always forget the spelling of), 2 other words that I missed apostrophes in, and that was it. SO I'd consider myself a fairly good speller really.
I might make a mistake on an uncommonly used word, but I wouldn't confuse "we're" with "were".

Lol, flying jebus, belive it or not in primary school i never got one wrong on a spelling test ether, so its not that much of an achivement :p , they way its taught i just ended up temproly memoerising the spelling, so i could reporduce it when needed, and would then have complaty forgotten it a few days later "/
In normal terms my spelling sucks :D
I have learnt not to get confused with they're, their and there. So I went for the top one because the last time I made that mistake was probably Year 10.
Compared to when I first came on the internet, I spoke like a twit... I mean, I would use such bad grammar and my spelling would be very bad. But, from being picked on on my first forum because of this, I changed and now I use full English because I can type faster like this and I don't see the need to speak in slang any more. It just makes you look illiterate and dumb.
Some people say stuff like, "eh, its da internet dud, u cn spk lke dis init cuz its nt r/l". For me to type that out would take like three times the time as it would for me to use correct grammar and readable English.
I think my spelling is decent.
lol since i been using msn and habbo my spelling has gone down hill
Really, it doesn't show. :rolleyes:Quote:
