Why do you think RWers can't spell?

[CatWoman]

Every time I either visit a RW site or read snippets pasted from a RW site, it is FULL of misspelled words.

What's up with that?

Or is my observation too HUGH!!!!!!!!!111????

1. inbreeding?

I don't know, I just had to say it though, shame on me eh.

[Tyranny_R_US]

20. Just curious can inbreed children ever lead "normal" lives?

[LaurenG]

23. lol hell if I know?

I would hope so. Poor kids, it's not their fault. I was rude to have said such a thing. :bounce:

[CatWoman]

34. they have in the past

look at European royalty - esp the Spanish/Portugese.

However, it did contribute to mental retardation.

[YOY]

2. Do they have a spellchecker installed on FR?

If there is one...well I guess that's little excuse if you expect folks to take one seriously.

Then again I put in the occasional typo too.

[fob]

26. I think they have Spellchucker(tm) that "freeperizes" words just in case

some one "misspells" a word correctly. It adds an "o" to 'lose' for example. Your experience and mine reveals that with all the braindead fucks over there even THAT bit of technology doesn't get a workout.

[Shoeempress]

3. If your dumb enough to be a freeper, why would you know how to spell

or even use spell check.

[longship]

28. If your???? ==> If you're

:rofl:

[PatrioticLeftie]

4. Further emulation of their dear leader? n/t

[Hobarticus]

5. Per the GOP party platform, education is a low priority, at every level...

Their dedication to the cause is inspiring, I must say.

[displacedtexan]

6. I just don't know.

It does seem to be a naturally occurring phenomenon, though.

Is it an anti-education thing?

Or is it that all of the freepers who can spell are already working for rich and powerful repukes, and they don't have time to post at freeperville?

[BlueEyedSon]

7. Same reason they're freepers.... poor public education, crappy

TV, general ignorance and mistrust of anything remotely intellectual, etc.

Then the vote for public officials that make it worse.... a downward spiral!

[neverforget]

8. intelligent design?

:shrug:

[SteppingRazor]

9. Weel...

I genrelly sepll goid, bot soemtmies I gat thnigs wrnog.

[devilgrrl]

10. because they're !@#&*ing STOOPID!!!!

[CatWoman]

12. LOLOLOLOLOL

We need to make that guy our official mascot

:hi:

[YOY]

17. I think he already is the unofficial 'antimascot'

[tnlefty]

11. Rarely is the question asked...

Has them RWingers not never had no learnin'?

[sepia_steel]

13. Haven't you ever noticed that Rethugs

are the first ones to cut education funding?

[cdb]

14. Hugh morans, thats waht they are n/t

[shaniqua6392]

15. I dun herd dat cuzins ought not to breed, but

I dint buleve it. Dere aint nuttin rong wit it. Luk at me...Ima just fyne.

[sendero]

16. Because they are...

... drooling morons for the most part. Spelling takes a small measure of intellectual rigor that, should they possess, they wouldn't have the infantile thoughts they seem to live on. :)

[shraby]

18. Maybe it's a buncha kids?

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. Not sure, but we can't knock people just on spelling. My mom was

a terrible speller but a good woman.

So I say we knock folks on message content rhather than spelling. *g*

[Tyranny_R_US]

24. i ahgree not eaviry purson whoo is a bad spellar is a bad purson

...taht is aull.

[GreenPartyVoter]

32. Wellcum to DeeYu

[Tyranny_R_US]

33. Tahnks!

[tx_dem41]

39. Yoor wellkum! n/t

[Bluerthanblue]

31. thanks for that, i'm

a terrible 'speller', and not strong on 'grammer' either, my thoughts run faster than my fingers, and my courage to press "post" diminishes after each 'replace' or 'ignore' click on spell check.

But that might be a 'signal' that i should shut up.

And i'm about as far left as one can get without going full circle and becoming 'right' again.

(did you spell rhather wrong intentionally for those of us spelling impared lefties?)

[GreenPartyVoter]

43. rhather? *l* nope.. typo :^) I do it a lot. Fingers get all twisted trying

to keep up with my brain.

Odds are any time you read a post by me that is edited it's due to a typo of that nature.

[Bluerthanblue]

46. dyslexia, often

emphasizes getting the 'gist' of your message out, with less push on 'technicalities' i have 2 dyslexic sons, and i could read at age 3, but can't spell to save my life.-

Ever read much 'early american' literature??? the spelling there is pretty ... hit or miss... and yet the message comes across.- Many super-intelectuals were dyslexic, and many of them were anything near 'right-wing'. OR poor.

Sterotyping those who have spelling diabilities as white trailer trash, isn't very funny to me.- but i'm sensitive, and i want to stay that way. (Jewel)

Ever notice the Beatles and the Beetle are spelled different- i didn't till just recently- (duhhhh!!!) BEAT-le. Those poor insects have been subjected to misspelling most of my life.

47. Mom was a special ed teacher so she dealt with this

stuff professionally as well as personally.

My Nana told me she received a note from mom after her wedding thanking her for the lovely "bowels". (bowls)

I can also remember sitting with mom working on girl scout cookie orders and we had some posters nearby and she kept staring at one and said that it looked like the word NOW was spelled funny. It wasn't. but it just looked that way to her.

Now me, I actually am a very good speller. Mother and I determined long ago that people are either wired for it or not. She based this on the way I leanred to read so young. My kids (5 & 7) can already read Harry Potter and are great spellers... so far. Their two uncles, though, can't spell to save their souls. (My brother and hubby's brother.)

[sui generis]

21. I dont no if they pay tnesion to detales the whey we do

witch is why this grate nation of ousr is in suhc a pickelle.

[AlCzervik]

22. i'm surprised they can type, i didn't think they had opposable thumbs.

[MissMarple]

25. Low socio economic status often equates with poor school performance.

Spelling correctly is too "highfalutin" and liberal. In other words many of them are "D" and "F" students. What they don't know is that people like Hannity, Coulter, and Limbaugh look down on them and snicker because the wingers take in and believe their every word. "Suckers!"

[nookiemonster]

27. "Ya'all can go strait to hell!"

"You and yer lib learnin' commies."

:silly:

[Sparkly]

29. The one I hate is "looser" for "loser."

Idjits.

[tx_dem41]

38. The bane of my existence as well. n/t

[nashville_brook]

30. homeschooling

fruit doesn't fall far from the tree

[rzemanfl]

35. During the Florida recount a Repuke responded to my asking

the same question as follows:

"We have people to do that."

Arrogant prick.

[mondo joe]

36. I have to admit I see as many here as there.

And some of them make me wince.

[tx_dem41]

37. Yes. Freepers do not have a monopoly on poor spelling.

I would guess that I see the word "lose" misspelled 3/4's of the time on this forum.

[against all enemies]

40. stoopid, I guess

[DanCa]

41. They lack opposable thumbs

That's why the have such a hard time beliving in evolution.

[AuntieM1957]

42. don't think, can't spell, what do they do? n/t

[moodforaday]

44. And conversely,

why is it that academic communities typically lean left?

[Cleita]

45. I think it's because they don't read.

They probably weren't good spellers to begin with, but I remember an English teacher telling me years ago that you had to read everyday to remember your grammar and spelling because if you don't you will slowly forget. If they even read the editorial pages of their newspaper it would help.

[Robeson]

48. They don't read a lot of books, and hence, have never been...

...exposed to a wide vocabulary. And books that they might read, such as "Armageddon's Coming, So Make Your Millions Now!", aren't exactly masterpieces of literature.
