Nobody has said anything to belittle me so no apology necessary. The overal concept that someone who has problems with spelling should think before posting, or that they are lazy or should not try their hand at something due to an inability, is.
No one has the right to tell anyone that nor make them feel they should not. That is what can make someone feel belittled. I do spell check most sketches as said before maybe to the American version. Often I do check to find I have spelt something correctly anyway. Not on any of these posts, only on my sketches. I am not just standing ground for myself but for anyone who has problems with their written English. no person is forced to critique anything & of course a little nudge to say "Hey mate you need to spell check all that." Is a perfect answer. I have improved and I am glad some of you have noticed that. Thank you.
I have done that not because I felt it a demand but because it was stated 'nicely' & made me think. Also because I am aware I am not fantastic at it & everyone wants to be fantastic.
I just wish this thread would die to be honest.
I do not believe any of the above posts were aimed at me. I just have to stick up for something I feel is right. Mostly I look at this thread & think what a couple of gits a few peeps are. (January posts, not now) I look at it & think how dare some of them pull someone up when they are no great spell masters themselves. Not You SlagA nor Baumski or Darren, or any of the reasonable posts on here. I actually feel proud of myself, not for my replies but for sticking around in spite of it. I dont want to bring up old arguments. Mostly I am in a fragile mood today. I wont bore you with the reasons. I apologise to everyone if I have made them feel they have upset me. They have not. xxxx
PS. I edit & edit posts all the time to correct the mistakes I know I have done. Sadly the ones I am not aware of remain.
) now so i'll close the thread. It may/probably will reopen later so watch this space.
