oh dave? what says ye?
I sya skrew yu guys I'm gipng home.

Almost all my posts are done from work where we are not able to download the spell check portion of the site. At home I catch most of my errors. I know who to spell ost of the words, but it comes down to the typing mistakes.

When I write, I always confuse my lower case d's and b's

Even though I know the correct ways to spell words with ie or ei in them (i before e, except after c) I still get them wrong when typing. Also license. I want type it lisence for some reason.
I had typed an entire email to my Governors spelling license as liscense I think. I was trying to get a new drivers license while I was in Turkey and PA was being a giant pain in the ass. I ended up with it in a week thanks to the executive staff.

The two words I also screw up regularly are definitely and maintenance. I always try to spell them defintely and maintainence. Why in the hell does maintain turn into mainten?

Damn, i get a lot of those.
I mean, you can't blame me... I was born in Mexico, raised by my mom and she always said that she never had a great grammar.
I had to learn how to at least write with my english teachers in Mexico... and learn spanish while in school, so, yeah...

I'm always have a problem with refridgerator and recieve.

I use a program called tinyspell, every time I misspell a word it lets you know with a ding from your speakers, thats why most of the time I have my speakers turned off. :grin:
