Spelling and Trading

[BPtrader]

Quote from Arthur Deco:



Often I wonder "How can an idiot who cannot even manage something as simple as spelling imagine that he can trade?"

so if I lern how to spill, I will be a good trader? u should've telled me that earlier.

Well, I will go and buy a dictionery. It's time for spilling.

Insincere apologies to the spelling-challenged for scraping off this old nearly-healed scab, but the recent infestation of furriners who cain't spell for spit has enraged me anew. But this one is funny: "Bullish or beerish?"

Quote from Arthur Deco:

As a language purist and somewhat of an historian, I am keenly aware these days of the age-old correlation between the deterioration of spelling standards and the decline of society. When the public at large no longer thinks it necessary to spell correctly, they seem no longer to care to accomplish anything else properly, either.

ET is society writ small. Often I wonder "How can an idiot who cannot even manage something as simple as spelling imagine that he can trade?" I know this is an elitist attitude, but I can't help it. I am old and set in my ways. The curse of a classical education wherein most of what you learn is ancient.

So I am going to vent my spleen in this thread. For starters, today, we have:

"explination".

One supposes this person says "Let me expline something to you."

I think you aren't realizing most people use the internet for entertainment. I'm sure in the millions of words I've written on the internet there's several thousand typos, but when you're trying to make a point, typos happen. Seeing explination is quite funny. I've seen funnier: like hellaciously, majoretorially either way a fun play on words for the author to entertain other people.

Lighten up a bit.

Swollenski, this is as light as I get. Spelling is a serious binness, second only to trading. I love the language so much that the slightest error grinds my teeth.

Hey Artie,

Wittgenstein once remarked that while a silly philosopher thinks he's using some fancy language to think about the crazy world surrounding him, all he's really doing is to get so mired in the grammar of language that he cannot think outside the box. Ya gotta think big bro, FWIW.

 

[Arthur Deco]

That is the beauty of trading. I has a language all its own, like no other. Comprised mostly of four letter words.

What? L-O-V-E? How sweet.

(I think A-N-A-L suits cantankerous old farts like us better. )

Only great minds can read this

This is weird, but interesting!

If you can raed this, you have a sgtrane mnid too

Can you raed this? Olny 55 plepoe out of 100 can.

I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in what oerdr the ltteres in a word are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is that the frsit and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it whotuit a pboerlm. This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the word as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

I know how you feel. I'm down to the nubs, and that's just due to my own transgressions.

I try to do spelling correctly, but I get twarted.

They only give me 30 minutes to do corrections after I post. I simply run out of time before I get each word corrected.

It takes about three corrections per word until I have words spelled suitably.

It is a lot of fun along the way.
