No3L o'Lant3rnI entirely agree. I have a lovely friend who insists on spelling the word "input" as "imput", among many other spelling catastrophes. Wouldn't be so bad except he's a sound engineer, so uses "imputs" on a regular basis!
I personally dislike anyone who spells words "foneticly". If you don't know how to spell a word it's the work of a moment to type it into Google and find the correct spelling. The problem is most people can't be arsed and just accept that they've probably spelled it wrong but it doesn't matter.
It aggravates me beyond belief when people put "(sp?)" into their posts (such as "I saw someone driving a mersadees (sp?)") For fuck's sake, if you think you've spelled it wrong don't waste time typing "(sp?)", LOOK IT UP!
