Spelling and Grammatical Errors in Lessons

[Zoot]

This is a HUGE pet-peeve of mine. With today's spell checkers, I really can't understand how professional documents would have type-errors. Did anyone see lesson 2 assignment - "Learnt" is not a word!

I would suggest hiring a proof reader to update the pages or have students provide feedback on the lessons. I would be happy to send corrections for a discount on products & services.

I used to be like that...every little thing that wasn't perfect bothered me, and then one day I realized there are much BIGGER things to worry about in life.(When you get some very bad news from a physician it changes your whole outlook on life) Now, I just live life, and try to love every moment of it. It made me a better person!

That's also the Canadian way of spelling it. ;)

We also say "colour" and a few other choice words back from our earlier days.

The bottom line is that as long as you understand the lesson, international wording is not as important.

Hey we live in the US and my husband spells it that way and always has.

[jerryph]

No kidding? I was given a ribbing often for my many "Canadianisms" during the time I lived in Texas. I was even literally complained about once because I had no southern drawl in my voice and had one person complain because "he speaks too clearly"... lol

What a fun world we live in! :D

[venturachristina]

HaHa! Thats too funny. I live in Texas too (for 17yrs) and everyone asks if I just moved down here because I have no accent. My grandparents who are up north say I sound so southern and the southerners think I sound northern...go figure..
