It is not even a manner of not being able to select amongst homonyms or get the correct "to", even though you obviously can since you just demonstrated it.
You misunderstand me, I cant tell which is right while reading or what not, i know of the problem, I know one is one and the other is but when it comes to reading and what not, as in proof reading I will read over it no matter how many times I read it

when I read something like two instead of too don't stop me, I'll read it as too, which means I cant proof read because when I do I read it as too and read it as if its right.

so no amount of reading over ever lets me know "this is wrong" I read it as i intended it, if it was not for spell check a lot more would be wrong

English is my native tounge in sense its the only one I know, but for what ever reason i was NEVER good at it, had problems all through school went to summer school every year for it, and if it was not for public schools being well dumb, i would never of graduated, but 13 years (14 they held me back in Kindergarten for my English)
for what ever reason I never got "native tongue" even my talking has a lot of... weird parts to it

I dont know why it happen, I dont know what it is, but nothing anyone has ever tried has ever worked, and I'm tired of trying, I spent all my child hood studying it, then teens and upwards, I'm tired of trying

I'm tired of being called out on it like I'M NOT TRYING

its a problem but I cant fix it.

Proofreading is a thing that you can do. Besides, it's not "1 or 2" errors, it's two spelling errors and a malapropism every 10 words or so.
I don't think you get it, its not a simple "He is not reading it over"

to me dose and does look the same, and worlds that spell the same, that's why you often see me spell "right" but wrong worlds, I CANT PHYSICALITY tell the diffidence, the way I read is in context

the first post, with spell checker on shows ONE world misspell

Quote
But I dont think this is, to me the most obuvis one was the guys just did not want to talk, no harm there. IMO its making a mounting out of a mole hill
Spell check wont give me the world i'm looking for, i attempted to respell it FOUR times I'm not getting close to the right world so spell check is no help, i cant spell it right no matter how hard I tyry what the hell do you want me to do? magically become a good speller?
I'm sounding it out "obuvis" is what I hear as beast as I can pull it

Only one world is misspell and I'm psychically not capable of telling if this world or that word is right I DONT do it that way, I have 100% no problem going through and reading a world misspell right

an exampled;e

He dose not know where to go
he does not know where to go

I read those as the same no matter what
Same for to, too, two, etc



I cant "do" English, just like some spend their who school life trying to get math and not doing it
I CANT

this is not a case of not trying, schools tried and tried, for years, its just not going to happen

Ever had tried to do advance math? Cal or above? cant do it? same thing with me and English

Criptfeind
also I don't give a care about your "respect", your respect is flicked if that what it takes to lose\gain it
15 years? big whoop I've done it for over two decades and WAY more hard then you ever possibly could, there where times in 4th and 5ht grade where I would work on it in till the NEXT DAY, nothing good ever came out of it.
you did it congrats, don't mean every one can, many music makers played while being death, it don't mean all who death can make music anywhere near that level

Well, first of all, I am not a person of faith, so I find the fact that none of the holy books signs of the end times showing to be rather irrelevant.
Second of all, an asteroid traveling at relativistic speeds, even if spotted, would kill us by the time someone reported it.
Third of all, gamma ray bursts, as I believe they're called, are invisible, undetectable, and capable of wiping out all life on earth in an instant.
It is entirely possible that the world as we know it could end that day for completely unrelated reasons, such as the exhaustion or destruction of a large portion of oil reserves, or perhaps a destabilization of the USA and major European countries, or a war from China, or any number of political events.
I don't think the world is going to end. But that doesn't mean it can't.



I never said it could not, we could all die tommorw, but we wont

my point was more of we can die at any time, so why pick that day? what makes that day speical? why think its going to end then?

The myans? they had nothing to do with the world ending then.

I agree with Mr Space Cat. I would... Welcome such a thing, to be honest.



How do you know?
a Billion ways,
#1 there is nothing to do with the myans, the mynas did not predict the world would end, it was a calender, and there are more, they never tried to predict the end of the world, and THAT is why people say it will end because the myans said it would but since they did not there go those peoples reason

Whats more is "planets" or rocks in space (cant spell them right) near earth, we can see that stuff now
#2 I've lived through about I'd guess 40 or so of these already? and that's just the ones that get on the new\become a "big deal" there are a billion of others

#3 form a religious point, almost all holy books mention signs of the world ending and none of them had shown, so if you believe in relation and really follow what it says then again end of the world not coming

So a physical way (planet or what not) we can disprove by looking out in to space
the "magic\divine" one we can disprove by the fact that all the religions have giving warning signs and almost none of them have been met, and so even if they where to happen they wont

last thing like i said the mynas did not mean the world to end that day, the calendar did not end because "they felt the world would end" sooooo why belive this day will be it? no science, and no holy book backs it up...

your assuming humans are in the grand shcme of things "special" for all we know we could be the bottom of some lies forms planet, our kind would be like bugs or micro life.

What if to them WE are chickens, yes we feel, maybe they do something more that like chickens we cant even begun to think of, in which case by your logic we should be chickens to them.
your acting like there is something that makes us "better" and "worth keeping" and while this may be truth on earth and may be a joke on other planets.

Bay 12 has higher standards than most places for spelling and grammar. We probably aren't going to pay much attention to your posts unless you improve.
then don't pay attrition, I CANT just "get better", its not like a switch, and I've seen plenty of users spell wrong and not get called out, but then I miss spell anywhere at anytime and it gets called out


If in order to get heard I have to "spell nice" then I'm nto going to get heard, no skin off my bones, just like friends i would not want people replying to me that felt that way

if they cant acapt this is what I am then I dont need to talk with them about anything, and there are plenty who do talk to me bad spelling or no

Please stop denying proper spelling makes your post more readable. No offense, but this is nonsense.
I never denied it did, I just said I only had one world spell wrong in that post, thats good for me, your lucky its not ten or so.
i have one world that is misspent
 and it makes my post unreadable? you cant take the context of my post to find out what I meant?
I'm  a bad speller, I cant tell when dose or does is right or wrong, cant tell the diffidence with those and many other words that are similar, spell check will not tell you these are wrong there is nothing i can do there
I can hire a guy to do a job for me, would you say that means he may side with me in disputes? should i not be able to hire someone like that?

could cops do that? yes but they could do it anyway, I disagree with the idea, that him being there is any diffident then not

Cops have been hired as scenery for years, do you think they should not be able to? they been doing it for years and for the most part not much problems.

and if you would look up their regulations I'm willing to bet hard cold money that there are things in place to make it harder for them to do that if they decide to, I know they do for security work

Really the bible only takes one stance on something like this, and thats that humans are the "kings" of earth and so we would still be "over them" 9 To be fair you could ask if they become like us are they still "animals" in the way of life stock and what not, which the bible of course dont get in to)

It really depends who is in charge of what at the time.

Okay for the last time to be clear, the slavrey where you beat and treat them like dirt?
\BADDDDDD

Slavrey where you give them a job tell them what to do but care for them )military any one? they give you a job they tell you what to do and they care for you.)
ok


Put it this way take away "own", is this bad?
provide shelter, for them and family, care, and what not, while they work for you (basically working for place to lice and what not)

I"VE made deals like that, where I'll be at someones house while I work the fields, US has places like that where many people acapte shleter as payment for labor (Feilds anyone?)

IMO the idea of "owning" is not as bad as we make it out to be, many slaves DID have freedoms, true not all could pick jobs but they could start family's, they could do stuff that presents could

they could not leave true, but many places don't allow people to leave even now days when they are "free"
Basscily I dont see whats wrong with it, other then having the "owned" tag on me I've lived that way a lot, its not bad, and some times better.

what happen to the blacks was bad real bad but that was not the slavery I'm talking about


The slaves I am lived up to standards and in many case surpass the pessents


if you want to prove your not "ignorant" of history then back it up

you keep actting like slavery has been the same and slaves could not do this or that but where is your proof?
prove it and then I'll admit your right on it. I've had this talk before, I've done study on slavery in ancient times

By the way ere is a qoute
http://atschool.eduweb.co.uk/sirrobhitch.suffolk/portland%20state%20university%20greek%20civilization%20home%20page%20v2/docs/7/kirsten.html

"Slavery played a major role in ancient Greek civilization. Slaves could be found everywhere. They worked not only as domestic servants, but as factory workers, shopkeepers, mineworkers, farmworkers and as ship's crewmembers. There may have been as many, if not more, slaves than free people in ancient Greece. It is difficult for historians to determine exactly how many slaves there were during these times, because many did not appear any different from the poorer Greek citizens."
a slave could be a shopkeeper etc

"It is surprising to note that the police force in ancient Athens was made up mainly of slaves. Even the clerks at the treasury office were slaves."

Yes some jobs WHERe bad how ever
"Not all forms of slavery in ancient Greece were as tolerable as that of the domestic servant. The life of a mineworker or ship's crewmember was a life of misery and danger. These people usually did not live long because of the grueling work and dangerous conditions of their work. Often those forced into these conditions were those condemned to death for committing crimes because it was understood that they wouldn't live very long under these circumstances."

was it perfect? no, but the same could be said about those who worked and whewr free.


"Webster 1969, p43). Slaves worked mainly in domestic roles, though it was not uncommon for them to become tutors or carers for the children of the household (ibid., p46). Privately owned slaves generally received payment from their masters, whilst state-owned slaves received their clothing, as well as a daily ‘ration allowance’"

So they where even paid!

"Individual treatment was dependent on the leniency of the owner, though it may be assumed that treatment was in most cases fair, due to slaves’ partial protection under Athenian law (see later discussion). State-owned slaves also had the opportunity, depending on their education, to rise to relatively high positions within the community, such as secretaries, bankers, and law enforcement (Bowman 2007, p34). Often, these slaves worked alongside the citizens and metics (resident foreigners), under the same conditions — the only difference being a detraction in their salary (Murray 1986, p223)."
working the same as them, paid, could get high places of power...

Hell I WANT that job (that was me shouting want)

In some ways I'd have a better life
