When bad spelling trolls leave, new bad spellers (studies, JW's, JW lovers) arrive

    They mostly all get it, Trevor Scott. It's just more fun for them to pretend I meant that bad spelling was a sign of trollness.

    If I had the power, I would smite this thread. I never make fun of the points made in others' threads.

    Am I the only one who assumes that the "new" trolls spell as badly as the "old" trolls because the new trolls ARE the old trolls.....

    I thought that was the point of the OP....

    Caliber, not just spelling... we're talking 3rd grade grammar. In that case, the offendee deserves as much Oxford dictionary bashing by Nazis as they get.

    I realise that it's easy to make spelling mistakes when your focused on typing a post in a hurry

    however

    the alarm bells ring in my head when a newbie posts that they have been a JW for years and they can't spell Jehovah

    Many also don't seem to know the difference between there, their, and they're. These are very basic things which most people learn by the fifth grade.

    I don't think it's that they don't know the difference. When you are typing in a hurry, your brain doesn't necessarily give you the correct there, their or they're. Have you ever gone back and read a post you made, hours later and realized you you used the word to instead of too, as in too many? Or you typed their instead of there?
