DaVinci did a beautiful painting of all the apostrophes gathered for a Seder meal, but this is not an art forum, so I'm not posting an image here.

yes that is true, when your brain is readingat 100rpm or so it can't remember every letter just every few letters cool thing our brains, just like playing the banjo your not consiously telling your fingers to make every move but somehow with enough practice you can say to yourself cripple creek and the fingers start moving

That's actually a very good point Tommy. When I remember when I first started playing, right hand slowly picking out t...i...m...t...i...m, while the left hand struggled to find the correct frets. Methodically following tabulature in a book. It seemed more than a little daunting. Now it comes automatically, timtimtim. Although there's still plenty to learn, once the basics are mastered it's possible to stick a bit of variation in the rolls and it still sounds OK. Although I posted the original message as something humourous, I realise that it says something of the way the human mind is able to understand patterns. I hope that anyone struggling to learn reads it and makes the connection. Steve 'I'm playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.' Eric Morecambe

No.
That's why I play FMB with an F# instead of an Em. People try to tell me it's "wrong", but I figger they are just trying to be spelling cops.
And rolls? Bah.
TIM is just as good as MIT. Spelling doesn't matter. I don't get why instruction books try to call these things different names.

Maybe this is the same thing, I'm not sure. I started noticing about 15 years ago that I started being mildly dyslexic. As I type, my fingers get all backwards and when I re-read what I type, sometimes it's a garbled mess of letters, all of them there, just not in order.
And, it's getting worse as I get olrder.<<<--see I just did it again
Already in typing this I have had to correct my typing at least 6-8 times, and probably overlooked some corrections. Usisalu spellsheck bails me out.<<--Did it again
What's up with that? And, I had no problem reading the original post!

I could read your first post, better then I understand all the texting abbriviations.
I have found that now I have been unemployed for so long, that I am forgetting how to spell sometimes. When all you do is talk to a dog and rabbits all day, you do tend to for get some things.

Yeah - typing on a keyboard is a great example of "muscle memory" (even though I don't think muscles have memories) I aslo am prone to some letter inversions on certain words - which would be an example of a learned mistake, that I practise over and over!

Im gald you mentioned that Lauence (I leave out R's alot.. Yeah , "becuase "is another one..Its seems so natural to spell it that way..OR , HOW BOUT, toghether or togehter..I NEVER get that one ..I always have to go back ansd re spell..Yeah, its weird how muscle memory plays into this..Like some banjo phrases that never have felt right BUT, thier ones ya know ya gotta play to make everything work out from phrase to phrase..I cant put passwords in slow..I have to type in a "candance" to remember them. I guess my brain has its OWN muscle mem going on how IT wants to spell regardless of my real spelling ability???

It matters if you can't communicate what you want to say, or if it takes irritatingly long to make out what you are trying to say.

Spelling is very important. For example, think about a doctor writing a prescription. You might end up with medicine for your prostrate problem instead of your prostate problem.
Jaminbanjo - Posted - 11/18/2009: 13:39:12
Yes, it is. It makes things a lot easier to read when words are spelled correctly.
millwheel - Posted - 11/18/2009: 15:53:46
If correct spelling were a prerequisite for posting/listing things on BHO/eBay, I'd spend a lot less time on the computer. I'm not complaining, but the simple fact is that most of us just can't spell, and so what? I'd rather read "incorrect" stuff than nothing at all. Besides, some of the creative orthography on the internet is quite entertaining!

millwheel - Posted - 11/20/2009: 11:40:40
Yassm, Miss Annie- at my house, it's more important to hit the right string on a banjer than to hit the right letter on a keyboard. Since atonic vowels in English are usually pronounced as "schwas," their incorrect notation in print or writing isn't a bad reflection on one's speaking ability. Since there are no "schwas" in musical notes, we'd better try to hit the right note every time, both in playing and in tab, or whatever. Or, put differently, written English is not phonetically close to spoken English, but played music is very close to written music. Hence, ah kin pick "Ol Joe Clarck," but ah cain't spel it wuffn a dang.
