I'm concerned about the rampant and tortuous misspelling of the word separate.
When you learn to spell separate correctly, doors across the world open up for you. Employers, co-workers, friends, family, your sixth-grade teacher and strangers across the internet stop cringing and no longer consider you a dummy, even if they never told you to your face.
Be someone! Learn to spell separate. I did. After I learned to spell it, I lost weight, male-pattern baldness reversed, I became rich and beautiful, shapely women fawned over me.
The complete 2 DVD set "Spell Separate Correctly in 10 Days" is not available in stores. Just 3 easy payments of $12.95 (plus $9.95 S&H). Don't delay, call today! (not available in CA, TX or CT, some restrictions apply)

If the majority of the people spell separate 'seperate', then the spelling changes to 'seperate'. Thats how words evolve.
-
You fellas goto you're seperit corners.

can tomorrow's word be dispassionate? if not then maybe unmoved will do.

You seem to be adapting to law school very well, neubob. Your family must be so proud of you. Next time I'm near DC, I must remember to invite you for tea with my elderly aunt.
-
Just remember that separate has "a rat" in it.

Will you be there too, or will it just be the two of us trying to figure out what to do with your inadequacies?

:lol Sheesh..

Who cares weather or not some people on these boards cannot spell seperate correctly. Witch spelling is correct is of no importance to them their totally unconcerned abouth weather or not they're spelling is perceived as correct or not.
They're are more important issues to be discussed such as the change in whether due to global warming.

I have a friend of mine who has no idea on how to use tense. Maybe I'm a grammar nazi, but I just cringe when she says "Hey, I seen you out last night!" That and she spells "again" as "agian" in any correspondence.

Not to totally thread jack but I have to admit that when I see someone trying to make a point but they are misspelling an inordinate number of words, don't or improperly punctuate, and they don't capitalize properly, I tend to get fairly dismissive of their point of view.
Exceptions would be for people who English is a second language.
I do tend to give a pass to the obvious typo or the occasionally misspelled word. Your does not equal 'you are'. Neither does ur, yer, etc., internet abbreviations are all good and fine on a text message on a phone but if you have a keyboard in front of you take the extra .01 second to type it out.
If it takes you longer to type it out that that then perhaps you should invest in some Mavis Bacon lessons and not spend time on message boards literally hurting my brain.

Here is one.
We've taken a Vote that if Rolex continues to insist on playing the part of spell check and grammer policeperson. We have voted to take an axe and "separate" his fingers from his typing hands.
And while we're on the subject of spelling.
You sure your handle is spelled correctly?
Shouldnt that be
T-I-M-E-X?

"poepel". Get it right.
Sheesh, hillbillies :)

:D I want a recount! Are there any hanging chads, or just hanging fingers? At least you spelled "separate" correctly, DREDIOCK. You didn't so so well spelling grammar or ax, but maybe those are good words for next week.
Hey, I know I'm a strange guy. If I see someone with half of their suit collar up, or someone coming back from lunch with a big glob of mayonnaise on their cheek, I'll usually let them know so they don't look like a dork in front of a client or their associates or friends. I've never had anyone call me condescending, inadequate or a neatness nazi for doing it. They always say thanks.
I'll be sure to not tell any of your guys, though. I'll just let you look like a dork.
I'll bet some people will forever remember how to spell separate after reading this thread. They have a memory hook now.
It seems as if my work here is done. :)

You didn't so so well spelling grammar or ax
ax ? never remembered seeing it spelled that way. guess it can be considered correct, though not common.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axe
found this googling for grammer; http://www.grammercop.com/
been grammermatically inkerect as much as eye kan bee.
still never figured out why I land is spelt Is land, said like eyeland.
born and raised using the language and it still don't make no dang sense.
ifluff'n it be island why ain't said "is land" instead of "Iland" or "eyeland".
if you gotta know, lost a spelling bee on my first word spelling "island" iland.
was 30 years ago but I still remember that.

Great fringe benefit of Aces High: Whatever you want to know about anything, just look in The O' Club. Google doesn't realize it is superfluous.
Bonus: One liners to rival anything on tube talk shows.

take an axe and "separate" his fingers
What pisses me off about DREDIOCK is his use of "quotation marks" when there is no quote.
