Has using farkin helped your spelling and punctuation?

[Plow King]

I can safely say that using this site for an unhealthy amount of hours a day has bettered my spelling and punctuation.

(It's just a matter of time before people correct my puntuation and spelling in the first sentence.)

[dcrofty]

Not especially. I'm borderline dyslexic so I've always had to take a lot of care with written documents at work. I just spellcheck every post and make an effort with the grammar and the Nazis generally leave me alone.

[RCOH]

No. I am a librarian, cataloguer & researcher who has any written work I do inspected, & corrected, mercilessly.

[daever]

I havn't been here that long, so it's hard to gather what kind of neurological damage I've sustained and whether or not it has affected my spelling.

[kjf]

It has.
Coz i uzed 2 speek lyk dis.
srsly, no jks.

[Nerf Herder]

Nope ... has increased my Vocab though. * Irony off*

Punctuation mate... punCt....now write it out 5 times...rememeber Look Say Cover Write Check?

You got pulled up early on I see...

Just on dcrofty's note, a friend of ours recently went on an 'understanding disabilities' course (since she is a teacher and the government is making a concerted effort at spreading awareness in that area), Im suprised that you dont hear of dyslexia and the likes, on here more often...then again, its so hard to tell over the web and most people that do have it, are probably like yourself and they make that extra effort. An interesting throught none the less.

[Breaka]

nah not reely. ive always been wikid with my speeling and punchuashion. reeding and esse' righting in skool were proberly the mane contribooters.

A bit OT but thats the same story here. I do get quite confused at times. What I think sounds good in my head never makes sense of paper. I'll also write something, realise the spelling/punctuation mistake and it may take 5-6 goes to re-type it without backspacing and typing the word the exact same way. I always relate colours to numbers and visa versa which makes things f%&k off annoying and frustrating.

it definatley has :) well at least some words, thanks :).

Not the word definitely, though. ;)

[Angry Atheist]

One would hope it has improved!

If you are writing fast and make common mistakes like becasue and alterantive and supercalofragealisticexpealadoushous then as long as its skimmable, then all is good. I hate having to slow down and actaully read the word. No one should ever do this, but when you have txt speech, you have to decipher each word and it takes longer to read and becomes a pain in the ass!

I'd wager that the enforced rules of usuing the english language and not schoolyard dribble has improved not only foreign persons skills, but also the mouth breathers skills as well.

I am supercilious?

...oh, and I hope it improves people vocobulary as well

[Spike-X]

No. Paying farkin' attention and actually making the effort to learn a damn thing when I went to school did wonders for it, though.

[Sam.]

Sure has, my typing has also sped up a heap aswell. Although it helps spelling, it really puts me in the habit of typing essays and that shiz informally. Thats probably from reading this and various mountainbiking magazines, though.

[pryaz-norco rider]

Sure has;)

I'm talking on MSN saying
'Hey do you want to go to the jumps today? Because I probably will.'
When I used to say
'ey wanna go 2 da jumps 2dai? coz i probs will':p

[Ruckus_Lord]

Fu'sho!!!!!!

[Igofastdh]

i is speln fyne fanks dont nead no help fom farken

[Downhill Domination]

Not really. I actually find it annoying speeling perfectly on Farkin and using correct grammer and all that becaue at the same time as being on Farkin I'm on msn and I have to switch from TXT mode to normal Hindu Arabic!!! :p

[Viv92]

Nope. I can spell because of school.

i cna tuch tipe heaps quick lol now cuz farkin yoshiz

[k3n!f]

Farkin has not helped my spelling or punctuation at all. Mozilla Firefox with built in spell check on the other hand....

[axertes]

Hindu Arabic

What the fuck is "Hindu Arabic"?

My spelling and grammar was quite fine when I got here. I really can't see 16 year old mountain bike jocks helping me much.

[Smooth King]

Its helped me...
Coos f i spl lk tis - Ile get banned.
Keeps me going in the right direction with my English.
Ime passing it with fine colors now in school haha !!
Thanks Farkin.net lol

[BM Epic]

No, it hasn't helped me,but it is sometimes funny seeing other people who it hasn't helped!
There are a lot of bilingual illiterates on farkin(they cant read or write in two languages:D)

[mtb1611]

(It's just a matter of time before people correct my puntuation and spelling in the first sentence.)Plow,at 3 in the morning,i have seen some your posts(hiccup:D),and the spelling and grammer are a bit,shall we say,different to 9pm(hiccup:D)hehehehe.
Red wine makes you big and strong,it allows you to pedal faster,and the receptors in your brain are more sensitive,therefore faster,so drink more shiraz,you will go fast,guarenteed by me!;)

[mtb1611]

In the words of the Virgin Mary, come again?!

No.

It's just made me paranoid about my spelling and punctuation.

hahah...

I don't think that i attribute my brilliance to any assistance from farkin-ers. Seriously, i used to spell all txt styl'n but i noticed it effected my school work as i had to think when spelling anything more difficult that my name. So now i text, msn and farkin in actual words and it has helped heaps.
