1211823	2011-06-25 01:15:00	The Problem With Social Networks "Social Networks" like Facebook are booming -- especially Facebook . There's only one problem with them: to communicate there, members pretty much have to write . How can that be a problem? After all, all of us learned to write in school, right? Well, no! And here are some real life examples . Facebook post: board Rachel: "I'm board . " Jeff: "I'm chalk, we should get together . " Rachel: "BOARD! Like I don't have anything to do, not BORD, like a chalkbord . Learn to spellcheck . " Jeff: "Oh god I hope you don't breed . " Facebook post: aloud Abigale to Darcy: "You shouldn't be aloud to talk . " Darcy: "You shouldn't be allowed to spell . " Facebook post: sueing Post: "Never leave facebook open . Sueing _______ for defaming my character . " Reply: "You did not spell 'suing' correctly and you're in law school so I think you just defamed your own character . " Facebook post: labia Catrina: "Just found out the US is bombing Labia . . . THAT SUCKS! . . . I wish we didn't have to fight so much . " Steven: "They should leave female anatomy alone . . . . " Jenny: "Sweetie . . . We are Bombing Lybia . . . We would really be in trouble if we were bombing Labia . O_o OUCH" Brooks: "I do my best to keep the peace with Labia . . . . Beautiful scenery there . . . . " Facebook post: inteligences Cory: "DONT LET YOUR EMOTIONS OVER POWER YOUR INTELIGENCE'S" Alexa: "seriously?" Cory: "ya why ?" Alexa: "overpower* intelligence*" Cory: "WUT? CUZ I DIDNT PUT SPACES . are u stupid" Facebook post: fail worse Poster: "when is the point when you no that you cant fail worse?" Reply: "When you realize you spelled 'know' incorrectly . " And here's why this happens: Facebook post: honer roll Alyssa: "honer roll now with mostly a's and 1 b hopping for princapals honer roll next time :-)" Lee: "Just curious, does your school give spelling tests?" Alyssa: "nope y?" That, and: Facebook post: teacher Post: " . . . . thank you Massachusetts for making it impossible for me becoming a teacher . Stupid ass MTELs" Reply: "'For me becoming a teacher . ' I suspect Massachusetts has its reasons . " Poster: "for anyone to become a teacher . the tests are rediculous . " Reply: "Rediculous? You sure they are not greeniculous?" Poster: "ha . =) its just a test that is suppose to test you on your reading and writing . . . . but its over stupid topics like chocolate and mexican landmarks .

1211828	2011-06-25 03:35:00	I think that text language was designed for sending brief messages on cell phones and that is where it should only be used. Computers have tools to assist people who make typing errors. I have a spell checker add-on installed in IE9 which does help me out if I miss-type or misspell a word. The sample text spelling in SP8's post was so bad that my IE9 spell-checker shrugged it's shoulders and gave up.:clap	Bobh (5192)
