I came across this faux motivational poster tonight that states:

Birth Control - Because if you arn’t careful, one of these could be yours.

And yes, that typo is on the original image. People…I can’t say it enough. When you’re insulting others, it’s SO important to spell check. If you don’t, we laugh less at the silly inbred children in the photo, and more at YOU for flaunting your so-called superiority online.

    LOL. It’s also really important on resumes/cover letters as well

    “I am nown for my close attention to detail.”

    “Here are my qualifications for you to overlook”

    “I was proud to win the Gregg Typting Award”

    “Education: College, August 1880-May 1984.”

    “Work Experience: Dealing with customers’ conflicts that arouse.”

    “Develop and recommend an annual operating expense fudget.”

    “I’m a rabid typist.”

    “Instrumental in ruining entire operation for a Midwest chain operation.”

    One of the things I love the most about Firefox is the built-in spell checker.

    In my line of work, I deal with reports on a daily basis. Some of the people who are writing these reports seem to have never passed the 6th grade if you go by their spelling ability. And these are reports written in WORD.

    Heck, I think it’s important for everyone. I am tired of visiting forums and blogs that have typos everywhere. It’s so simple to spell check these days, there is really no excuse.

    I always get a kick out of advertisers who feel the need to instruct bloggers “check your grammar and spelling”, then have grammatical and/or spelling errors in their listings.
