    For all of those who insist on correcting others' spelling..

    Don't think.. just read..

    Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

    I know.. timeline.. that's old.. yada yada.. but interesting nonetheless..
    and all the spelling police need to chill a bit..

    Many times, those who nitpick at trivial misspellings are those who think that correcting them somehow shows their level of intelligence to be higher..

      i agree.... you see it alot in pissing contests, when one guy is arguing with another and he doesnt know anything to say the last resort for these type of people is dissing the spelling of the other.... very weak

          Ellipsis are supposed to be 3 dots (...), not 2.

                  Yeah, let's not be bothered by actually being educated and spelling our words correctly. What a waste of time.

                                  The plural of ellipsis is ellipses, not ellipsis.
