I have noticed that some of the e-mails I have received lately have had misspellings because the senders are too lazy or too rushed to hit the “spell check” button and review individual words. Carelessness is becoming rampant. I have noticed that it seems to be equally simple words and complex words spelled wrong in the e-mails I have received.
Generally our skill in “spelling” as individuals is gone. Seems we need spell check or most of us could not write something that anyone could translate. Is their anything more ridiculous that allowing our talents to wan because we are personally lazy? We blame the pace of our lives for the reduction in this skill but in reality it’s because we feel it’s not worth much as a skill since most all of us depend on some form of a “spell check” any time we write something.
Then maybe all my e-mails would be spelled correctly. (And the pathetic, fraudulent e-mail scams would at least be understandable and amusing.)
Maybe the companies that produce the attached “spell check” software should make its use mandatory not optional. Or produce software that automatically offers the correct wording as we type it.
This would allow all of us a few more free seconds to do “really important” things.
