Welcome to class today! Today's lesson will be over spelling.

If you don't spell words correctly, people will think you're unintelligent.

Here are some commonly misspelled words on this forum, with the misspellings to the right:

misspelled mispell
where were
our/are are/our
my mah
shit shyt
asian azn
back baq
the letter "o" 0

The right column spellings are incorrect. Do not spell these words that way.

Yes, this lesson is shorter than the other, but these are just words Ms. Kim and I have noticed to be misspelled often.

Don't forget, our test will be on Friday.

Who's is a contraction for "who is," as in "Who's going to the store today?" (It's also less commonly used as a contraction for "who has.")

Whose is possessive, as in "Whose shoe is this?" (Note that it is the possessive form of both "who" and "which.")

i spell some of those words like "back = bac" and "y" instead of "why" in slang. it's not because i don't know how to spell them, it's because i'm too lazy to type out the whole word...

Yeah, a lot of people have done that past years through teens. I've done those slangs like
the > dah
what > wut
you > u
your > ur
etc .. I just always find things that I would love but then suddenly change it after awhile. I find it not cool typing like the way , dah , wut , u , ur ..

haha, I just noticed something great. In the links at the bottom, it said spelling for 5-12 year olds....now, now, I think that most of the community on cB is above the age of 12. Therefore, you should know how to spell simple words like:

"the", "some", "why", "your","you"......

You should also know some basic grammar, such as:
The difference between "your" and "you're" and when to use them...

EXAMPLES:
(possesive) Your username is lame. (abbrevation for "you are") You're going to need a new username.

Their, there, and they're and how to use them properly:

EXAMPLES:
(preposition, describes a location, place, or time) There is such a thing as dumb people. You can tell who they are by the looks on (possesive) their faces as they read this post. (abbrevation of "they are") They're totally dumbfounded by what I've said.

Who is a nominative pronoun (i.e. it is a subject), as in "Who is wearing the blue shirt?"

Whom is an objective pronoun (i.e. it is the object of a preposition), as in "With whom are you going to the movies tonight?" (In this case, whom is the object of with.) Note that this makes the common construct "Who are you going to the movies with tonight?" grammatically incorrect (doubly so because it is improper to end a sentence or phrase with a preposition, since prepositions require objects).

LOL! Well, the spelling I can handle somewhat. Long as I can still figure out what the word is.

What bothers me most is "anyways" anyways isn't a word. It's ANYWAY!

^Ooh, that reminds me of "newayz". That's not a substitute for "anyway" people.

lets:

"His mom lets him do anything!"

let's:

"Let's go to the store."

let's is a contraction of "let" and "us".

This time I really did miss the test didn't I? That sucks. Well I might miss the test for this lesson also. I'm in a fine arts day camp, and this is the first time I've been on the internet all week. With the day camp and other activities I don't have much time to get on the internet.
