Title: So if all you do is code all day, is it ok if your spelling suffers?
Post by: narsus on October 28, 2002, 05:01:50 PM: All I see is code, make it go away, going blind.

Seriously, when I was younger I wrote short stories, had a decent vocabulary, and could spell. I have been writing and looking at code for years now, and I fully admit my spelling and grammer are much worse, but I do have to say my coding is much better and faster. I guess there is only room in my mind for one language.

Any suggestions?

Well, don't ask Lazs for help. LOL! Just kidding.

In your post there was only one mistake, so I don't think you have anything to worry about. I might have suggested reading quality broadsheet newspapers, but doh! - if you live in America, there aren't any. I read the Telegraph - http://www.telegraph.co.uk
