I had one.-..
/Tina
/For AL of you that wonder what it was here at first I can tell you: it was fake - a self made front page of the SL HOME page that was a kind of Joke but also stressing the fact that i think and feel we the small designer are forgotten by LL... a well made for fun front page.
Then later this thread changed - sadly to pick on spelling.. /

Actually, all of us make it all - not just small designers. No one group of people makes SL all of anything. You dislike the promotion of a certain group of people, yet you are turning right around and advocating that with the promotion of a different group of people, the one you are in. How is that any better, except for you?

Wow, how rude and arrogant is that?? Not to mention cowardly, picking on someone else with an alt. Let's hear YOUR knowledge and fluency in more than that one language of yours and leave it to us to correct your spelling/grammar!

If I was trying to speak, say, German, I would both expect and welcome tips on how to improve.

Err, that is not what I was referring to here. I, too, welcome anyone correcting my English as that is one way to improve language skills. I was referring to THIS: From: Summer Carmichael kthxbye you are making me crazy. While the tone of the rest of the post was somewhat condescending this was downright rude.

Many red angry faces O.O "I know english is not your first language (and I commend you on your knowledge of more than one language) but please from this point on change your spelling of AL to all. kthxbye you are making me crazy." said by me. How is commending someone on a second language insulting? oh oh now don't you look silly and full of red faces. Remember when you point the finger at another you get the middle finger back at you. No, wait..that isn't how it goes.

Because ...... *shifty look, heart warming smile* I haven't thought of anything good to write there yet, and I don't have a cute picture of myself yet or a list of my best friends to list in picks, or a partner, or a store.
Is it really too much to ask that you start spelling ALL correctly to save the sanity of people that are annoyed by that? You seem nice like you would care that you are making me insane by such a simple thing, you seemed like you would want to know, a person who strives for personal best..a person who strives......to be EXAKT. FINE just bastardize spelling like the rest of us, the only redeaming quality is that it is an original bastardizing of spelling the word all.

It wasn't that hard for me to deduce that "AL" meant "all" not "Al, short for Allen", or to realise that it didn't mean "awl" as in "the small ones that make it a tool used to bore holes in wood". However, sometimes trying to read 1337SP34|< fills me with a violent rage until I R1P 73H H3ADZ 0FfA 73H PR1M B4BB13S!!

PetGirl is dyslexic. From: PetGirl Bergman I have problem with it AL including in my own language.. I am very dyslectik, including I read things and sometimes ustand something that are not in the text... I cant spell, I cant grammar.. yes absolute right!! - its no fun.. I have often cryed.. or get to the bathroom and screamed.. And yes many put me aside as a dumb type.,.,. many do. And more.. On the other side my visual work are well known where I work IRL - and my body language are strong... When I must write a sales plan I at page 3.. write something like this ”Sorry about AL wrong speledd words... ” ...and after that most people that WANT TO USTAND do it or ask polite for an explanation... The ones that DONT WANT to ustand are another sort of people - one that I can live without... A human that want to hurt people by the by nature inbuilt problems are not a human.. /Tina - EXAKT bad in spelling but EXAKT in Designing  ))

A nervous twitch is still irritating, even if someone can't do anything about it. I had no idea she is disabled. I'M SORRY PETGIRL I guess everyone knew about your neurological disability but me. I still find it irritating that when people spell all. al . *feature request* spell checker *secondary thoughts* how useable is SL for the handicap to use?

From: Summer Carmichael I guess everyone knew about your neurological disability but me. No, that's not it. I don't think many people know about this. PetGirl made that post just yesterday in the fourth page or so of some Off-Topic thread. It was only by chance that I came across it. I wonder why she shies away from saying this. She could have easily mentioned it here. And it's not as if it's some stigma or anything. At least I don't regard it as such. Dyslexic individuals are generally quite creative and instictive. They can see things in multiple dimensions. It's quite a gift. If I was her, I would just plaster it all over my signature: Dyslexic and proud of it. Or perhaps Dyslectik an praud of it.

I'm late to the thread so I never got to see what your dream was, PetGirl. However, I hope you noticed that it was just one or two people who were being hurtful, while so many others were supportive.
Summer: I realize you thought you were being lighthearted, but you gotta realize that the kktnxbye stuff can seem rather demeaning in some contexts. Hope you see that now?

However, the way you commented it did not make that much a difference, Pet being dyslexic or not. You haven't answered my request yet. As someone who strives for personal best yourself (which is what I have to assume - however, you make quite a few spelling mistakes yourself), how many languages do you speak, Summer? Spanish? French? Swedish even? Let's hear. But, for the sake of our sanity, grammatically correct please. I will definitely commend you for it, considering quite a few people over there do not even know Sweden is in Europe....
