Poor spelling bothers me, especially with resources like dictionaries and spell check at our disposal.I find most people spell poorly. When we write we leave something behind, something that can be viewed again and again. If part of that is misspelled I feel like one would if they went outside without their pants on, exposed, perhaps vulnerable. Maybe it is laziness. I still manage to put my pants on.
Sloppy spelling does make a bad impression, and since I am not a naturally good speller, I have to rely on help.
ReplyDeleteSloppy punctuation gives the same bad impression.
