I see 4 or 5 others in there, but I'm feeling lazy. :D

I don't think that people who typo or misspell are unintelligent. But for whatever reason, I have a fondness for words and I really like it when they're spelled and punctuated correctly. So I really enjoy proofreading, and making it so.

I nominate LSPE for Official LoT Proofreader.

A much needed, and appreciated, belly laugh for the day. Bwahahaha.

For the record, I am an atrocious speller and proofreader. This is why editors and proofreaders are needed!

Spelling aside, I am still smartter then all off you.

Given all the meta-errors in this thread, I don't know if yours is intentional (or even an error), but you've hit on one of my champion peeves. I assume you mean "We can't all be smart like you." (In one version, it's impossible for anyone to be as smart as Alex, in the other version, there is a subset of us who can't be as smart as Alex. Okay, maybe you really meant the first of these two :D )

Similarly, there is a bumper sticker commonly seen here in touristy Central Florida that reads:

All of us are NOT on vacation!

I am pretty sure the intended sentiment is:

Not all of us are on vacation!

(First version - no one is on vacation. Second version, I'm not on vacation even though you are.) There is an important distinction between the two, though the person attaching such a sticker to his or her car might just as well choose one that says "You drive too fvcking slow!"

It was pointed at SL, not Alex.

But I'm backing out of this thread now. I'm feeling incredibly stupid.

Still, I prefer to read it as nobody is as smart as me.

Mirror Mirror on the wall. Who is the smartest of them all?

Alex.



However, your way with words doesn't also imply people are stupid when they don't understand something or have a different opinion then your own.

Hahah, i love that i spelled a word wrong in my post where I congratulated myself on being a proper speller.

But let's not confuse spelling with grammar, or either with proper word choice. You can have poor grammar with perfect spelling, and horribly chosen words spelled correctly.
