Does anyone else cringe when a word is HORRIBLY misspelled?
OK..I don't care about tiny errors...people type quickly, myself included..
But I mean to the point where it's not even the same word?
A woman in my moms club in VA just emailed everyone and wrote that her doctor "Had the ALLDASSIDY..."
It took me a minute before I realized she meant AUDACITY. 
Sorry, I know this is petty but my eyes were bleedin'!

OMG...talk about butchering a word!!! 
YES.
I can handle everyday misspellings but that "urks" me to no end.

I just can't get over it. Alldassidy. Thats like making up your own word entirely.
I have a friend who always writes "supposively" in her emails. After 11 years of friendship I still don't have the heart to correct her...she's a bit touchy, lol..

Based on her spelling she also mispronounces it. Hooked on phonics did not work for her.

Yes. Although I'm guilty of mistyping words.
I'm the person that corrects my take-out menu at work, even though I'm the only one who see it.

I have much better things to be ****** about too....i didn't say i got ******. I said i just cringed, that is all. I could care less about simple misspellings..just found it odd that a well educated mom who was a teacher spelled a word like that...it was actually funny to me, no harm in it, just a pretty bad error!

I cringe too. Mostly because I feel embarrassed for the person.

yeah cringed and pisssed is a bit different.
I spell most daily words wrong a lot, type too fast but when the word is butchered, I think its horrible.
I see too many crazy mistakes and I think its sad.

Re: Does anyone else cringe when a word is HORRIBLY misspelled?
Seeing that word just made me 
i get that some people don't know how to spell as well as we would all like--but the horrid phoenetic spellings is what drives me nuts.

Re: Does anyone else cringe when a word is HORRIBLY misspelled?
Oh, this is a HUGE pet peeve for me. I think it is ironic when people are "venting" about a co-worker who is stupid and their post is filled with grammar and spelling errors.
For example:
I cant beleive how ignerant my boss is. He is incompotent.

Re: Does anyone else cringe when a word is HORRIBLY misspelled?
Wow, that's just wow!!!!!! 
Yes, this bothers me every day. I'm a bit of a stickler when it comes to spelling. I'm all for trying to sound it out, but use spell check or look it up the old-fashioned way in a dictionary!!!

To answer the original question....yes, I cringe when I see words blatantly misspelled. Typos I have no problem with. They're exactly that...a typo.

Re: Does anyone else cringe when a word is HORRIBLY misspelled?
I'm usually oblivious to most misspellings, but the one that catches my attention every time is when people use "seperate" in place of "separate". It must have been drilled into my head in one of my English classes at one time.

 Exactly. I can't take someone serious if they don't even have the spelling capabilities of a 5th grade student.
