As far as I'm concerned, this wins. That's so mangled I can't even make heads or tails of this.

Oh shit, I spell badly without trying. But to try, oh hell no, I just can't. I do however, jokingly create new words and stuff just to have fun! 'yanno' being one. I am such a hypocrite!

And yes, I actually do appreciate it when people correct my wrong spelling. For years I spelled ridiculous with an 'e'. Don't know why but I did. Then a scared young lady showed me the error of my ways. Sadly, there are quite a few words I have mangled, and likely quite a few that I still mangle.

Feel free to correct me when you see me do it!

And yes, I know this isn't exactly what you had planned but, for me and my writing, bad spelling is one of my pet peeves and where my lack of formal education glares at me.

Sorry, I just can't let myself play!!

My Mac won't let me misspell very easily. It seems every time I misspell something, no matter which app I'm in, the misspelling is underlined with the most obnoxiously painful shade of red underlining I have ever seen. The red is so bright that, with enough of it on the screen, it hurts.

It feels like I'm back in second grade with the teacher rapping my knuckles with that big-ass piece of wood for bad penmanship.

WOW! You CAN spell bad! I had NO idea what you were talking about either! But what a fabulous quote!

Exactly! I can almost feel the presence of Mrs. Morgan (elementary school teacher) looming over me!

Aw... go ahead. You're competing against VC and MissA... two heady competitors who, at the moment, are taking us all to school on how to purposely mispell.

(nah... not going to change it...)

I get a lot of typos. This is a common one, yoiu. It comes from big hands and hitting more one key as I type. I then compound that by hitting the send button before proof reading well enough.
