12-17-08...NOPE Don't Want One
I see a lot of people talking about those spell checkers here. I really don't want one. I've had them, and they are just a nuisance to me. They wont let me talk. Now in life I can talk the way I want to so why not when I write things down. ME wrights the way Me talks. Now I'll admit there are a lot of words that I am not sure how to spell and If I'm writing a formal letter or reply to one, I wanna check so the recipient don't think I'm stupid. But I just don't have time to mess with those things when I'm just writing daily thoughts down.
I had one once that beeped at me everytime I spelled a word wrong. Just unnerved the heck outta me. Then one would underline every thing I wrote. Heck most of them even try to tell me how to spell my own name. My Mama named me Clydene and they sure have their nerve to try and correct that Wonderful lady. Don't ya think?? I tried turning the darn thing off and check at the finish, but the dad-blamed thing put so many marks on the page I felt like I was back in School and Miss Brasel was puttin' all them red marks on my papers. Yep my Teachers taught me well, I know how to be Prim and Proper, put in all the ings and such fancy things, I know to get a dictionary and look up the words I'm not sure of, But heck fire if I don't know how to spell the dang word then wouldn't I be lookin for the spelling I knew don't ya see? Then there are words that I really think I'm spelling right. I think this is the way to spell it so why the heck would I be lookin' in a dictionary for a word I think I'm spellin' right in the first dang place! Now aint that stupid?!
So thats my story and I'm stickin' to it. I don't want one of them dad blamed spell checkers. This is me. You see what you get, I am what I am, just an ol' hillbilly from Arkansas, but don't call me a hillbilly or an Arkie. OK? LOVE YOU ALL Clydene
