My life sized red pen

I am a terrible speller and I admit it, but that does not stop me from writing! So the hubby reads my blog about every few days and I know that a lot of you ladies have husbands that do the same too, but do they whip out that dreaded red pen everytime you misspell something? Well my hubby does:p Just now, infact, he was catching up on my blog and started laughing....Apparently I misspelled follower as (fallower) and also stated in a different post that they sang credence in the Army rather then (cadence)...HA HA! I say this all in good humor because, as I stated above, I know I'm terrible with grammer and spelling, but thats okay because (weather, ha ha) or not I spell something incorrectly or word something the wrong way, I still get my point across and thats what this whole blogging thing is about, right? Now, don't get me wrong, once my attention is brought to an error I immediately fix it and try to remember how its done for future occurrences. There is a huge difference between being (challenged) yet rising to the occasion, and being challenged yet doing nothing to improve yourself in that challenge. I use the word "challenge" here because this applies to ALL taxing situations in life and not just in my little world of grammer mishaps...However, this last sentance strongly begs for a soap box and a much longer post so we shall end here:p

  2. I totally use spell check, because come on no one is perfect when it comes to spelling and grammar! I even have my husband check my blog sometimes when I'm not completely sure about something!

    I even had to ask my husband just now how to spell grammar because it looked funny when I typed it! I'm a dork.

  3. awww you're too cute! I always get the jist... =) Don't let the haters get you down. :-p on them! My hubs is dyslexic so I always find myself correcting his grammar/spelling. He does things like "Latter" for "later". It's no biggy just something to point out to him. When he put on his SGT he told me I would have to write his counselings (see I think that's spelled wrong- but I don't spell check comments bahhaha)! Too bad that hasn't been an option so far with him being- you know, a world away!! Lucky me...

  4. As a teacher, I do notice that kind of stuff, but I don't make corrections for other people on blogs lol! I make mistakes myself when I rush and don't proofread! :P

  7. I am a horrid speller. I force myself to look things up and learn them. Some words I will never learn. I don't understand it, I am an expert at math and science but I can't spell. I can only spell medical terms because I am forced to. LOL@your hubbie and the red pen.
