Anyone else's spelling awful?

[Dano]

Mine is pretty bad, I make a point of trying very hard to check my spelling before posting stuff as it looks terrible, my handwriting is just awful

My spelling is usually good but the problem I have is when I start second guessing myself and thinking my spelling is wrong and then I end up turning a word that is spelt correctly into one that isn't.

That's what they call, a typo.

Yeah, I know, which the resident grammar Nazi seems to have a field day about all the time.

Ironing.

My spelling is above average according to what I see on the net. My handwriting is TERRIBLE, though.

When I don't know a word or how to spell it, it's straight in Dictionary.com.

I think my spelling has improved quite a bit over the past few years, especially since having a few dictionaries and thesauruses installed on my iPhone.

One of my problems which I seem to fail at improving on is paragraphing.

I have never seen anyone with worse handwriting than me, it's literally like a spider stepped in some ink then ran across a page, I blame the computers!

My spelling is pretty shocking; I've only just learnt how to spell avalible, jk. available.

Does anyone else have poor spelling? A possibility is that it could be down to computers. I.e. I've pretty much always used Word to write something, homework from year 7, coursework etc, etc. So I'll spell a word exactly how it sounds (which a lot of the time is wrong!) Then simply right click (or just F7 back in the day) and select the correct term without even looking/learning.

I read the correction and try to get it right next time.

Word has improved my spelling.

Ironing.

explain?

I can instantly tell when a word is spelt wrong even if I can't remember how to spell it for some reason. My spelling is generally good anyway though.

I'm the same. Well, I like to think that I am.

My spelling is pretty good tbh. We used to have spelling tests every day in primary school. I was also a naughty boy so they used to make me copy from the dictionary.

lol - can you tell if a word has an error in it? I can't always remember correct spelling, but if I see something like: "your right" or "accammadation" i know it's wrong!

 

[mufc802]

Could be better tbh, not fussed though. The PC can just correct it anyway.

Top class speller, however my handwriting is terrible -.-

That's why your spelling is bad. It's not 'due to computers'

 

[-BA-]

Generally mine is fine but I sometimes have really random mental blocks around really basic words. The longer and more complicated the word, the better I usually cope

I got a 1st in engineering in my 2nd year of engineering at Loughborough.

However give me a block of text to read and when I finish hardly any of it has gone in.

Numbers, equations, computers are my forte. My writing is pants and so is my spelling.
