1. Naw, it would waste your time and annoy the freeper trolls. n/t

[KitchenWitch]

2. Hey Ladyhawk

How are you doing?

:D

[Whoa_Nelly]

7. Hi there, Ladyhawk!

Good to see you here! :hi:
You are awesome! Hope you got my PM!

[youthere]

31. annoy AND confuse

[Heidi]

3. Unless you're up for a completely fruitless

and unappreciated endeavor, I'd say no. Beating your head against a roughly-spackled cement wall for several hours would probably yield the same result as trying to teach some of us to spell. :shrug:

[KitchenWitch]

4. LOL

It was a silly idea, the whole moron versus moran thing that rears up around here sometimes got me thinking about it.

[greatauntoftriplets]

16. The moron vs. moran thing is an old joke....

And damn funny.

[Spider Jerusalem]

24. Not really...

it was funny for about five minutes back in 2002 or whenever it was. Now it's old and tired.

[KitchenWitch]

36. It is

I love the photo!

[Spinzonner]

5. In view of your nom de guerre

shouldn't you be teaching DU to CAST spells

[KitchenWitch]

6. Oh, oops

I better go back and read my mission statement and core values. :evilgrin:

[6000eliot]

8. Perhaps just the proper use of the apostrophe

And the difference between plural and possessive nouns.
:hi:

[NoQuarter]

9. Amen.

nt

[RebelOne]

And amen again.

Also, the difference between it's and its. Hear and here, there and their, etc.

[tjwmason]

11. Abso-blooming-lutely

Plus maybe a few of the more commonly used homophones (their there they're &c.).

[NoQuarter]

19. The difference between

subject and object would be helpful, too. (e.g. who and whom.)

[tjwmason]

10. Whilst you're at it

Solve world-poverty, cure cancer, end the AIDS pandemic, negotiation peaceful and lasting settlements in Israel-Palestine and Northern Ireland - after all each of these is as likely as accurate spelling on D.U. :hi:

[Lefta Dissenter]

12. Gno,

Tis frootless.

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. To late.

You only be waisting you're time. :hi:

[REP]

14. How About the Proper Use of the Subjunctive?

Well, I can dream, can't I?

[crispini]

15. Yes!

Please post a nice firey little rant explaining why our lack of spelling skills make us no better than freepers and how all DU'ers better wise up and use the spell check or else.

17. Wat r u tawkn abowt?

:shrug:

[rbnyc]

18. Yes

I was a terrible speller when I was in school. I just never got it. I worked very hard in my late 20's to learn to be a better speller, and I still struggle.

I know the difference between your and you're and its and it's. :-) But I'm willing to bet you could teach me something.

:)

[Blue-Jay]

20. Only loosers complain about spelling.

Rediculous.

[Lilith Velkor]

21. You'd have better luck teaching a pig to sing.

[khashka]

22. Waist of tim cuz

23. DU already knows how to spell (for the most part)

If you really want a challenge go visit the cesspool and teach them how to spell. We'll see you again when you're about 95 or so. :rofl:

[hfojvt]

25. as long as you remember, it is

reMuNeration.

[Kire]

26. You can lead a horticulture.

But you can't make her think.

28. "Diligentia maximum etiam mediocris ingeni subsidium"..

or.."diligence is a very great help even to a mediocre intelligence." ;)

[Dave Reynolds]

29. And also,

when you are done with that, could you teach the world to sing in perfect harmony?

[Redstone]
