However there is a problem.... Whether or not you are able to spell is not the question. The question is do you spell things correctly? The answer of course is no. You do not spell things correctly and therefore you show that you are either a) a bad typer b) a bad speller c) lazy d) all of the above
The results of this bad habit? One it means that your posts are indecipherable, can be interpreted in different ways (not because of controversial content but because of unclear words), and can even serve as the basis of personal attacks. Who needs to refute your argument when they can attack your horrible grammar, spelling and typing.
Therefore I would suggest that you change your habits, use spell check or self check, and write posts with better spelling and grammer. You dont have to be perfect (one or two mistakes doesnt mean much) but when every word is mutilated by your misspellings it affects the way you are seen and thought of.
This is my last friendly reminder. Every successive violation of this new self enforced law will be strictly punishable under my law, and may cost up to $100 in fines and/or up to 3 years in jail. I will attack you fiercly at every opportuinty and join the band wagon in putting you down!

Well...
You're missing commas and a few apostraphes where they ought to be, and these little phrases...
"one or two mistakes doesnt mean much"
"Who needs to refute your argument when they can attack your horrible grammar, spelling and typing." (I'd give this little slipup a "?" in chess notation)
"Every successive violation of this new self enforced law will be strictly punishable under my law"
"I will attack you fiercly at every opportuintyand join the band wagon in putting you down!"
...make me twitch a bit.

I am missing a few commas and apostraphes... that Ill admit. Also I misspelled opportunity. And I accidently made a mistake conjugating a verb. However I dont really see the mistakes in the other two.

However I dont ( don't ) really see the mistakes in the other two. hehe sorry for being nitpicky, but still ironic... ;D

As I said before... I dont use apostraphes. Also apostraphes can also be spelled with an a.

That's odd. Microsoft Word should accept both then...

O... so thats how you do it is it? And... now that I check... Mine does. So I dont know what is wrong. Furthermore I double referenced the Dictionary.

Maybe you have a more updated version. I never thought to check the version of the word with an "a" since I never seen one like it before...

omg you guys. it's not like any of you have perfect grammar ANYWAY. and as far as i know, it's 'apostrophe.' i must agree, though, that terrance has the WORST grammar of you all by far. the whole 'i'm the best speller/writer' contest is amusing, though, seeing as you're all correcting each other. *shakes head* this is what i think about it:
