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

In my case, all I can say is thank god for spell check!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteI even had to ask my husband just now how to spell grammar because it looked funny when I typed it! I'm a dork.
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...
ReplyDeleteAs 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
ReplyDeleteYes! I try my best to always spell check but Matt is a grammer and spelling nazi! He's all over my written communication lol
ReplyDeleteMy husband is a horrible with spelling.. I take out the red pen on him ;)
ReplyDeleteI 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.
