    When people can't be bothered to spell properly it makes me wonder what else they don't have time for.

      It all depends on whether spelling is the core requirement for success - it is for a spelling teacher or for spelling nazi on CUK, however it is not for current discussion that we are having. I do try to endeavour and improve my spelling though.

        It's called having a sense of humour. You should try it sometime, you never know it might land you up in bed with an actual woman if you get good at it.

          It's a serious discussion in this thread here. I also note here that people who appeal to humour element have got even arguements than those who mention spelling.

              I believe this is the way most of the world think - for English people however, being able to spell your own mother language seems the ultimate achievement, to them if you can spell then you can do anything, and they'll trust you with managing any organisation.

                  No its not tulip - that's why English people are constantly making fun of foreigners who can't pronounce / spell English words correctly, or making grammatical mistakes.... I knew a manager who barely managed to get a GCSE, didn't have a clue about the project or systems, but was constantly proud when he manages to find one typo in any document he reviewed, he used to march to the person who made the typo and shout loud that how come he doesn't even have a degree and found the typo while others with PhDs didn't notice?? He'll gloat and think he is the smartest person on the planet.... I suppose he had to compensate for the lack of understandign any contents

                  That's not stereotyping, if you want evidence then look into any thread on this BB and see responses any typos

                  May be for the first time I have to agree with AtW - sorry AtW, wont happen again, I promise

                      So, this one person (who is a bit of a dick) is representative of the entire English race?
