I think spelling is interesting, and I like making an honest attempt to spell correctly. And, when I misspell words, I like correcting them. Unless I'm going for humor.
But I have a pet peeve, music teachers included:
I can't stand seeing bulletin boards in schools with misspelled words. It's very rare that I see a bulletin board in my own school with a misspelled word, and I'm not a bee in anybody's bonnet when I spot one, but it is a pet peeve to see that rarity.
I feel the same way about letters that go home to parents--can't stand seeing misspelled words. And I ain't perfect either. I've sent home a letter here and there that has a word my eye didn't catch in editing--and it bugs the hell out of me when I find the rascal after the letter has already gone home.
Here on AWAD: It doesn't bug me at all because I figure we're all writing pretty quickly--and we sure can't use the spellcheck, right?
