Please check your spelling

[S_Therapist]

You guys are missing the point - a spell checker won't flag a word like "effect" or "insure", when really what you mean is "affect" or "ensure".

Exactly. This is the problem of spell checker. For the guys who make some common mistakes, please notice-

Knew-New
Knew is past form of know and new is something which has been done for the first time.

Then-Than
Then means kind of times and than is used in comparison.

Their-There
Their is possessive form of they and there refers to a place actually.

Even-Eventually
Even generally refers to mention something specially. But eventually refers "in the end".

Doesn't the own forum correct misspellings?

OP is not talking about mispelling at all. Those are some common mistakes actually.

No, that is some feature related to your device/browser and textboxes.

It seems you are little wrong. There should be a feature in SMF which does correct the spelling as the guy said.

Doesn't the own forum correct misspellings? In my case I've just tried writing "mispelling" and it has changed it automatically. Even when I've tried to maintain the word in the post, it keeps highlighting it. It should be enough to maintain certain level of quality (unfortunately it doesn't revise the "use of English"). Maybe it's because I use a Mac, or maybe I enabled some options in the configuration screen, I can't remember.

On the other hand I agree with you that, if you're non native, as it's my case, and write in the general sections of the forum, you have to try to do an effort to be understood and keep learning the language in order to improve more and more, or stick to the alternative of writing in your local section, which isn't a bad deal neither.

Anyway, I also think that there are some native speakers in the forum that write without any care, using vulgarisms and other structures hard to understand for non natives, and that is not incorrect, but they should take into account who are they talking to when they answer this way. We are a different cultures and languages melting pot in here and without noticing it we're building the language of the Internet, which 10-15 years ago didn't exist, and which will evolve into something unpredictable in the future. For this reason, apart from respect and trying to be understood, which are fundamental reasons too, we should take care of the way we express ourselves in the public Internet.

No, that is some feature related to your device/browser and textboxes. For example, when I type on my Ipad using Safari, a spelling corrector kicks-in on its own. On the other hand, my laptop does not spell-check when using Firefox, so I tend to type the content on Word first to be on the safe side. Of course, this is not error free, and grammar issues may be overlooked, but at least it ensures a better base than typing right in to the post area of the forum.

I never make spelling mistakes, but yes, typos are a problem. Doing a check before posting is a very good habit. After all if you can't be responsible for your forum posts, how will you look after your Bitcoin?

[marlboroza]

This is because it shows a lack of care, and disrespect for other members reading the thread.

I blame movies.

To be honest I made lots mistakes. It is not that I don't know difference between words, I blame my language, as we write like we speak and it is very easy to misspell something (these examples are some of my mistakes):

"They" - "day"

"know" - "no" or sometimes ""now"".

"Too" - "two" or "to" (not necessary in that order).

"Than" - "then"

"won't" - "want"

"on" - "in"

"literary" - "literally"

"yes" - "no" - not really

You will find lots of my posts edited because of this, even days after posted. Many remain unedited.
Other then this, I always see red lines under words if I didn't spell them correctly  
I don't really want to talk about my grammar

I'm not so keep on Grammarly. it seems to be very orientated towards American rather than English. I believe that a Google search is far more of an educational tool, as it provides information about the word in question, and thus expands your knowledge.

You guys are missing the point - a spell checker won't flag a word like "effect" or "insure", when really what you mean is "affect" or "ensure".

Uh oh, Jet Cash, I think you made an oopsie. This entire thread is about you manually reading your posts for spelling mistakes and you have exactly the kind of mistake you are instructing against. Nobody is infallible and it happens to the best of us, very regularly I will type "do" instead of "so" or "got" instead of "get", just because I am thinking and typing quickly without as much thought as might be warranted.

I believe you meant "I'm not so keen"

I find Grammarly very useful and the thing that has helped me most is reading every day the news from Coindesk and Cointelegraf and another couple of websites I usually check. There are some terms I didn't even knew before. My vocabulary is improved and I find myself to be faster at typing as well. I guess reading crypto related news this last year, has helped me with my English as well

I find a lot of posts containing incorrect spelling.

I consider as a big problem not only a wrong spelling of words, but also an absolute violation of grammatical and punctuation rules. Some posts are written in solid text, so reading them requires great effort, not to mention understanding and interpretation. For example, I hardly understand what Ace Amias meant when he wrote the following replies ...

No altcoin can't be dangerous to bitcoin because the strategy of business and market of bitcoin is more than the altcoin combine bitcoin is the cryptocurrency that is accepted worldly its takes away many hurdles from its way and went onto the peak so altcoin is started from bitcoin and it cannot stop bitcoin.

They cannot refuse me and they cannot make me quit from cryptocurrency if one lose it does not mean that you should quit get up and learn from your mistakes did not greedy for making too much profit instead earn little from crypto but on daily basis if you lose don't be sad and try to recover your lost amount.

So I was reading his posts, and thinking what was wrong with them ...
Finally it dawned on me what was the matter!

I agree, I was encountered tons of it and it is not good in the eye. It also changes the whole thought of the sentence sometimes. I recommend to read a book that can enhance their skills when it comes to composing grammar especially checking their own error spelling.
