Poor spelling makes it a lot harder to get your code to compile...

Aha!! Not a programmer, are you? The program will compile if all of the symbols are equally misspelled.

I pointed out in previous posts that spelling for postings is not important. Spelling for work-related tasks is. I also pointed out that my software is nearly flawless, with few bugs even with a short development cycle. I even pointed out that I produce about as much code as six people. I've been doing software for a living for over thirty years. I am currently employed.

Take the time to read everything that was posted. Miss snippy equated spelling mistakes in postings as a general case of reduced intellect. You folks are due for a paradigm shift.

QA, I get paid to point out your flaws. The program won't compile if you misspell keywords or misspell variables or functions differently (and most folks with spelling problems tend to be pretty random in their spelling).

Spelling is important, at all times. If a communication is important enough for you to make it's important enough for you to make correctly. If your posts are so insignificant that they don't deserve to be spelled correctly you should probably save JimRobs bandwidth and our time and keep them to yourself.

I have a job because of "flawless" coders like yourself. I've worked with many coders that are boastful like you, and their code always sucks and usually doesn't even run the first time it's submitted to QA. The bigger the ego the crappier the work, never seen an exception.

"Miss Snippy" was right, poor spelling is a sign of a lazy mind, you very well might be smart but you don't care enough to utilize it... or even utilize the Spell button FR has provided you. Can't be that good an engineer if you can't even use the tools provided.
