Are you a good speller?

[DubiousIntentions]

How are you at spelling? Or do you rely on a Spell Check app to keep you looking like a spelling bee champ?

[BeMuse]

On places like this site I just type conversational English as it comes out of my mouth. I don’t proofread or plan whatsoever. I’m actually a relatively talented creative and persuasive writer when I try. Misspellings generally get picked up by a spell checker of some sort automatically and turned into the wrong word being that I tend to spell words phonetically and often type on a keyboard in my lap in the dark while I’m half asleep which leads to many typos. It’s 2:54 AM right now. So don’t expect the best out of me on GaG. This is goof off time, not my time to shine. I think I spell relatively good for someone with dyslexia that is half asleep reclined back in a chair in the dark. The large majority of the words come out as planned. Every once in a while I miss a couple keeps, stop mid sentence because I'm distracted by something else, or just spell something totally wrong.

I mean I have no illusions of being a spelling bee champ but I am pretty bad. Lol! I learned mostly from trial and error over the years and rely on phonetics to get me to whatever words I’m looking for. It often is an issue. Lmao!!! How about you?

[DubiousIntentions]

Well you spelled everything right this time.

[Wish4UrB00ty]

Well thank you! Lol! I had a lot of help from spell check but I type worse than I spell. This message shouldn’t have been as big of an issue really.

[katiesmuff]

I'm a pretty fair speller and in fact have shut off that damn work correction program on my iphone as I think most of us are better spellers that damn app. In the case of your above example I might have had a serious problem as well spelling Eucalyptus, close enough though to get it across to the 911 dispatch.

[DubiousIntentions]

Yes, just ask her to spell it back to you to see if you got it right.

[xoxosilentgirl]

No im really bad at it. Whenever I text my friend, well hello typo. Not only misspelling the word, sometimes i mispronounce it as well. I don't know what’s wrong with my hand and mouth.

[DubiousIntentions]

Maybe like me, typing too fast?

[xoxosilentgirl]

yeah thats my problem:))

I am a good speller. I cannot type worht a damn.

[DubiousIntentions]

Your fingers are just hitting the keys in the wrong order. That happens to me too. The most common for me is to type waht instead of what when I am trying to type fast.

[exitseven]

Yes and my thumbs are too big

[Sparkie460]

I'm a great speller but I can't type for crap. Sometimes spell check changes my words to something totally different. I always have to read what I typed to see if my words were changed

[Dargil]

I am pretty good but have occasional lapses when there are two ways to spell word (dyeing, dying) and more than one way to say it (laying, lying ).

[DubiousIntentions]

Wait, dying is to stop living. Dyeing is to dye your hair?

[Dargil]

That's a spelling error.

[Sevenpointfive]

spell check gets it wrong so i type what i know

[DubiousIntentions]

How does spell check get something wrong? It is supposed to FIX errors.

[Sevenpointfive]

not everything is in the spell check database. i would assume it's worse for people using the app and using automatic correct/spelling without checking if it's what they meant to say

[Fireguy17]

No, not at all.
I never was good at spelling.

[DubiousIntentions]

So you have a spell correction app then?

[AimeeKyle]

Absolutely not. Spellcheck is my friend…. until it changes my words 😂

[KostasKouvalis]

From what people and autocorrect have told me, apparantly not. Mostly it's double consanant words that get me

[KostasKouvalis]

Double consinents and vowels

[Cubus]

I'm a bad speller honestly. I only reached 27th rune circle.

[Jennz6]

No I don’t spel good

[NathanDavis]

moreso in Spanish

[EaterPeter]

I am ok and rely on Google too

[EaterPeter]

Thanks for like!

[Likes2drive]

Ha ha that’s pretty funny

[OnTheLevel]

I'm a pretty good speller.

[Rudon00]

😂😂😂😂. Yes! I can comfortably say I am.

[SnowedIn]

Yes I is.

[DubiousIntentions]

You spelled the words right. See, you don't spelt wrong.

[SnowedIn]

My appreciation of you had increased significantly with this question! :)

[panamared1]

I spell terribly
