Poor Spelling Wbm

Paw smelling it often bugs me
Small errors I can clearly see
When you sit down to write
Ensure your spelling’s right
and consult a dictionary!

Andrea Dietrich Date: 7/28/2019 2:13:00 PM you should have misspelled more words in here to make it even funnier. Good idea for a limerick, Jan. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 7/28/2019 4:26:00 PM read my poem today - its a true story of a recent funeral!:-( hugs Jan xx

Gershon Wolf Date: 7/28/2019 1:36:00 PM Great entry four the contest, my freind! Laff out loud, Gershon Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 7/28/2019 4:26:00 PM I've posted a poem about a typo at a funeral, if you read it then it makes more sense of my issue with typoes:-( hugs Jan xx

Sandra Adams Date: 7/28/2019 10:13:00 AM I think we are all guilty at one time or another...my phone is good for changing words on me and if i write on impulse i may make an error...usually then instead of than, or something similar....cute write we can all relate to :) hugs Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 7/28/2019 4:25:00 PM I always post using my laptop I don;t have a phone with internet but I know auto typing can give issues with spelling:-( hugs Jan xx

Arturo Michael Date: 7/28/2019 9:32:00 AM So important...I should put this one on the wall... Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 7/28/2019 4:24:00 PM thanks Arturo:-) hugs jan xx

John Gondolf Date: 7/28/2019 7:51:00 AM Amen to that, Jan, and I might add don't rely solely on spell check because it won't catch everything; it always bugs me when people use "your" for "you're" or "there" for "their." Nicely written my friend. John Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 7/28/2019 4:24:00 PM Yes smell chequers don't all-ways help ewe:-( hugs jan xx

Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 7/28/2019 7:34:00 AM - ... my English is probably full of "bugs" ... which can irritate ... but, I greatly appreciate being corrected ... I often post poems on impulse ... and forget to check :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 7/28/2019 4:23:00 PM I've just posted the poem about the funeral, wish I'd posted it before this poem then maybe it would make more sense about why I chose typoes for this poem theme. I worked with kids with dyslexia for 16 years, many spell phonetically so you can understand what they meant, several had 'scribes' for exams as they could say the right answer but not write it down. hugs jan xx Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 7/28/2019 7:53:00 AM - Dyslexia ? Jan Allison Date: 7/28/2019 7:46:00 AM Anne-Lise your use of English is brilliant and I don't recall seeing you typo and I would soup mail you if I saw a booboo... I went to a funeral the other week - one of the hymns had a typo which made the first line laughable ... there was also a typo on another hymn, to me it was so unprofessional:-( hugs jan xx

Rico Leffanta Date: 7/28/2019 12:15:00 AM Great advice as, "Spellcheck" is about as accurate as Donald Trump! Aloha! Rico Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 7/28/2019 4:04:00 AM ha ha ha - am following this up with a poem i wrote the other week after going to a funeral - the person who printed the order of service needs a spell checker as there were 2 errors - my poem is called mourning has broken!!! :-( hugs jan xx

Enjoy the rest of your day:-) Alexis Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 7/27/2019 6:43:00 PM It bugs me when I see it in poems and they are so easy to correct.... of coarse my speeling is prefect lol hugs jan xx
