Thread: Friendly reminder to check your spelling!

Please, make sure to check your English spelling before or after posting a message. We do not want a language forum to be an ignorant's paradise! I will work on installing an external spellchecker to make that arduous task a little bit easier for everyone.

Above are two great examples of how NOT to post.

Is it ok to misspell in Russian? Are Russians allowed to misspell in English?

Everyone should do their best to spell correctly in English outside the "English for Russians" section. It's OK to make mistakes in Russian since this is the Russian language learning forum and everybody learns by mistakes.

Exactly

To me, to say "learn by mistake" means to learn something unintentionally as if you did not want to learn anything at all.

To "Learn from mistake(s)" is to learn through making mistakes. As one should learn from his or others mistakes.

To "learn by mistakes" implies that, making mistakes is your only resource in learning.

I can't spell correctly in any language .

You did spell that correctly!

I'm not English nor Russian native speaker, can I make mistakes?

What's wrong with a few spelling mistakes? And not everyone here are native English speakers.

What the admin is trying to say is to avoid intentional mistakes. For instance everyobody knows that saying "u" instead of you, or "2" instead of "to" is wrong.
But if I type "computre" for computer that's is most likely to be a typo and unintentional

Hi Helly.
Welcome to the forum.

Thank you)
I am from Moscow.the weather here is terrible.and what about weather in las vegas?

Weather is very nice here. It is about 41 deg C in the shade.
In a few weeks it will get very hot, but right now is perfect weather.
Sometimes it gets as high as 48 in the August. Ouch! That's hot!
I am glad I have a swimming pool.

Why is the weather in Moscow terrible? Is it raining?
