Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The 'fire can't spell, or is it just stupid

A myriad of posts recently where the OP deliberately misspelled words in the title? What's with that? Dumbazz or stupid?

Made you look post.

Tennessee Syndrome. Started when those you have on ignore showed up.

well that makes sense, I guess. lol

As a response to a certain individual that claims to struggle with things like spelling, posting pictures and videos but then 3 or 4 posts later will do so without issue.

Obviously deliberate construction is for humor's sake. It has a place, but sparingly.

The more widespread lack of grammar and spelling knowledge is indicative of ignorance. People who cannot write are seen to be as muddle-headed as Kamala.

By the way, good morning good folks.

In my defense, Im posting often on my cell phone and I can’t see the keys very well and suffer from big fingers little key board. Autocorrect is also a pos and screws me up more often than makes things better. As for purposely spelling wrong, it’s just stupid and kind of irritating.

Some people are just special....

Ha!

^^^^

Sell. Sale. Sell. Sale. The amount of bumpkins who slept through school and can’t decipher the difference between wanting to “sell” something, and something that is for “sale” is in the thousands.

Yes.

If it’s deliberate, then that’s stupid.
Dumb would be not knowing any better.

Some do it just to piss some people off and get a response.

It works most of the time.

Amazing how some folks don't get the joke.

The joke loses its luster when overused.

Just that.

Alot of things slide over many folks heads on here lol

Lots of members enjoy the ugly fat girls in bikinis picture threads over the humor threads anyway.

Some strange people LOL

The “Yoga pants on fat girls” thread is already at 4 pages after only a short while.

Righteous indignation threads are funnier......

Spiel check cane bee you're worst enema.

Ritchous ingination threads are more funny.

Get it right man.

Probably both.

Throw in some dementia and trolling, and you have the Fire...

Yes, but unfortunately that’s all they got……

For sure

Started by hyper sensitive guys with 7/8 of the others here on ignore.

Yep that’s good stuff right there.

At least those who start threads with misspelled words mean to cause a laugh or chuckle. Guys like the OP here are laughed at without meaning to be.

Correct spelling and punctuation are important. For example,

Woman without her man is useless.

Means the exact opposite of:

Woman, without her, man is useless.

I see this all the time on the internet. FB and Twitter have dozens of examples every day where the punctuation is deliberately done wrong to confuse readers. The title and 1st paragraph say one thing, but if you read the article to the end the conclusion is often the opposite of what the title states. Poople read the title but never get past the 1st paragraph if that far. The link is then shared and reshared thousands of times.

This is why so many people are 100% convinced that pure BS is true. After all they read it on the internet.

And, this tread has yielded - - - - - ?

Let’s eat grandma.

FIFY

Well she had a good long run.

Well if it was done deliberately , as you state, why are you asking the question? Are you a dumbass or Stupid?

A joke, if that's what it is, is way overused. I think it's more about just plain dumb and being too lazy to check spelling and grammar.

It's not funny that you're dumb.

We are all ignorant about some things, and I am no exception.

What I can't understand is those who showcase it, brag, wear it almost as a badge of honor.

Humor? OK. Not my style. To each his own.

I'm sorry?

You forgot about the ones that want to "sail" something. 😁

That be me ! Special Ed is what my detractors call me. Thanks for the recognition DD. (Yes, negative attention is better than no attention)

kwg

Yes….

It's called "click bait" mostly used when op knows that they don't have anything of interest to share but want some attention...

I'm just glad all this is above me.

H9H?

I’m continually amazed how many people don’t seem to understand the meaning of the words they use. Stuff most people learn in elementary school.

Like:
Their, there & they’re.
An & and.
One & won.
Reel & real.
Probably & prolly. Prolly? That’s not even a real word.

There’s plenty more, but you get the idea.

Punctuation is important too, but often regularly omitted.

I ain,t good enough to comment on this

I'm seeing more of the greengrocer's apostrophe. Some around here would write I seen more.

I'm not British, had to investigate that term.

Learn something new every day (everyday?) if one chooses to.

I had been calling it the incorrect pluralizing apostrophe. Then I was watching a British detective show and found out it already had a name.

Likewise.

Wh9t

My wife watches a bunch of them.

I can sometimes learn something if I can understand them.

I tell my wife I sure wish they would speak proper English on those shows.

Walt3r Br3nnan, G3ne Autree, cofee, breakfust

Whatevre dew yuou meen freidn Sam?

If its me, I type fast and am usually in a hurry.

I just simply don't care on a forum or a text if its a bit wrong and in a hurry. Auto correct sometimes hops in too.

That said I get grumpy as heck when people muddle words on purpose like boolit. WTF. Same amount of letters. Whats the point.

At least spell check didn't like boolit. LOL.

Dudes,

my bad

I prolly use prolly to much

I have younger friends and I do my best to not be too much of a boomer around them.

Prolly has me thinking of a toddler trying to say probably.

Me too at first,

but, gotta be hip to remain relevant.

If not, next thing ya' know, I'll be watching Rockford Files or Gilligan all day.

Yur bettr then Tha9

Ur probly right

Seems like there are any number of Kamala like persons posting here lately

Chaff to be burned off

While I strive for perfection, such is a rare event. I was in a publish or perish career generating 30 or 40 peer reviewed manuscripts and twice as many lay publications across the years. Each of the the technical documents went through at least 3 peer reviews, 2 or 3 associate editor reviews, and a senior editor read before acceptance. Last was a final look by a publication editor. Eventually my journal articles show up, and without fail, I always found at least one spelling or punctuation error therein. Inevitably, the source was my final submission.

Exchanges here are a bit more rapid fire, and while I'd like all to be proper, there's usually a slip up somewhere. Most, however, are a product of my fat fingers straying on the keyboard and a failure to proofread. If I catch those in time, there's always the "edit" feature. A review of my posts will reveal its frequent use (this example included).

In the past, we had a member that drafted every post in a thoroughly butchered "good ole boy dialogue." I'm sure his intention was entertainment, and such probably required three times more effort than normal text.

I tend to notice things like advise/advice, sell/sale, saw/seen and let them slide. We are, after all, not generating resumes here.

I think that some here believe that the epitome of conservative political behavior is the piss-ignorant drunken redneck. And I think that the way they post is merely another form of virtue signaling.

And some just act that way because they know it gets under someone else's skin. I don't even need the ignore feature for such examples. I can read right past them effortlessly.

I have resorted to the ignore feature for some, lately. It is, for me, reserved for those who have wished ill for, or death to others on the 'fire.

I seen whot you done right thar. ^^

So, anyone can spell antidisestablishmentarianism, but what does it mean?

It’s a synonym for Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

Was that "Big Mortie?" I miss Big Mortie. He was unique.

L.W.

One of the biggest misuse of words is the word "got"
I've got lots of stuff to sell, We have got to many dumb asses on here,
You're using two words that have the same meaning. Drop the "got" and just use "have"
I have lots of stuff to sell, We have to many dumb asses on here
Think about it when you are talking too.

We’ve got to work on that yes

Cries for attention, nothing more.

Lol. As long as I can understand them, I could care less about how somebody speaks, spells, or uses words in a sentence.

So you do care at least a little bit.

Ha. Yes, if I cannot understand them it is annoying. Deciphering Sticks ramblings comes to mind.

In all seriousness, I have been around people that literally could not read, could not look up a number in a phone book because they couldn't read the names, and also could not read out a tape measure in a normal way........for example would say 14 and 3 nicks.

The same person could build just about anything from scratch and when it was done looked and worked professional. So it sure isn't a indicator of intelligence.

jbmi:

I have the same issue with "that." If I conduct a review, better than 50% get marked out. I.e. We saw that he had a flat tire.

Lol, so youre ignoring me. How did I hurt your feelings? Hard to keep up with it all, but my guess is youre a covtard? Guess you wont be reading this anyway lol

Perhaps they are simply adherents to the tenets of that august, and alas defunct movement, the SSB? Sure, that's it. They are really historians who believe, like Andrew Carnegie and Theodore Roosevelt did, that the english language uses too many words spelled in ways unlike how they sound and we must simply be educated to follow this movement as educated Americans.

On second thought, disregard. Ignorance, feigned or actual, is likely more true.

Googled "sale" several years ago to see if the definition had changed, after seeing it used incorrectly everywhere.

not you, but there are several here who are making that a standard thing with their posts these days. Really no big deal, but interesting that one started it, and now several feel the urge to participate.

My teachers used a lot of red pencell lead.

I miss kawi.


now there was a fellow with perfect writing, clear, concise, and eminently intelligible.

Did your childhood house have a lot of lead based paint?

Could be habit from forum participation. On some comment sections the words black, shoot or gay get flagged in an instant, so without thought you end up writing blakkk choote or gaiy

Disqus is the worst, and a lot of sites use them.

Nah, 90% of it is to mockingly imitate the posts of one particular member.

What post isn't a cry for attention? Don't we all post with the hope that people will read our posts?

Huh???

Did you ever think about auto incorrect, age ,or medical conditions. Me , I’ve had a stroke. I know that some times I don’t spell words right. But I can’t remember how to spell them. I know that my grammar is not what it used to be either. But I’m still here. If you want to make fun of me that’s fine.

I won my elementry speling bea

I don't believe you're "it" in this conversation.

We should pray with Happy Camper for the answer from God.

Ok, lets break this down for the ones who seem confused lol. Wabigoon is a smack off who trolls this board with dumbass posts and incorrect spelling. Many are doing the same becuase his dumbass has been doing it for many years. That really is all f9lks

If not the answer, at least a socket set

Hahahaha!

I had forgotten about that gem.

Lmao!
