Sorry for digging up this thread so late but I have over a thousand
messages to look through and there is valuable information I might
miss since I'm new to the Mac.
Now, I have just discovered another probable source for gross
miss-spellings. I am a recent owner of a new Refreshabraille display
Hello.
I find more important people to read their manual a little before posting
questions than their spelling mistakes.
Many of us don't speak English very well but we still need to ask for help.
On the other hand, I am sick and tired of reading the same questions again and
again, especially
Oh boy I agree 100%. I find it shocking how sloppily some messages appear;
since most lists I'm on are blindness-related, I have no idea whether we as a
group are more careless than others in general, but sometimes I think I know
why we have such a high unemployment rate, smile! While nobody i
I think reviewing messages is an excellent thing to do. I even do this for
messages to people I know well. I find a fair amount of letter transposition
and characters left out, etc. so it's a good thing I do review.

I guess the important thing is we remember why we are on these lists to get a
little help from each other and whilst today (I do not know about the US),
politicians go on and on about how bad it is that people cannot write properly,
People such as ourselves who rely on verbal communication are h
I agree this is being argued to death. OK I admit to some errors in posts, etc
either through rushing through work, etc or having "Blonde days" and we're ALL
guilty of it. It does however concern me that when reading a message with
voiceover, a message with countless errors causes voiceover as y
Kawal,
I'm not looking to start a pissing contest here, but can you definitively state
that you know every person reviews his/her messages prior to sending it? I
really doubt that. You obviously take time to review your messages and I will
not argue that point with you because I am not sitting
Not to beat the topic to death, but knowing I'm not an English major and not
great at spelling, I make every effort to send messages that sound as though I
took the time to prepare them. Of course some of this comes from my
professional world where we are expected to prepare messages that reflec
I'd like to take issue on this to say that as long as one can make themselves
understood, then the person is on the right track. You are very wrong to say
people do not review their messages before sending as I know that people do
that, I being for one.
Thank you.

Just to rectify, it's his and not her.
My name has caused me issues that are less fun than this. :)

I think part of the problem is these silly smartphones without physical
keyboards. That's what I was using today when I hit the letter y instead of
the letter t. Android doesn't even have the decency to tell you that you've

Can we return to her original request? I agree. to speak frankly, not only is
it that some people do not bother to spell check; but also, that they are
thinking way ahead of what they're typing. As a result, they don't pay

I was born in French speaking Switzerland, so French is my mother tongue.
My parents are Kurdish and immigrated from Turkey.
I was taught German at school.
My job is in English.
The bottom line is that I can manage Turkish, one dialect of Kurdish, French
and English. I am not fluent in German.
What other languages do you know? What is your first? Just wondering. Thanks.

Guys,
For some reason, ever since I upgraded to Lion, VO announces me misspelled
words when I read emails, not just when composing.
I guess it's ok not to always start with some sort of a polite greeting... I
don't always do it when replying to messages. However, I think we should
