Misspellings Can Really Ruin Your Point.
I started a debate intending to say the Christians should not use a very pathetic argument. I forgot the not and oops... I end up looking like an idiot.

That is so true. A misspelling really stands out in a paper or comment and it just makes you look horrible.

Yeah, a "friend" of mine once wrote "teach some ppl how to spell", I never stopped laughing.

The more rabid, the less educated.

Why should it surprise that the quality of one's words (grammar, spelling, meaning) is a reflection of one's intellectual capacity?

I hope some VERY specific people could improve their English, and those Brits need to spell ''color'' right.

Yes, you are right, misspelling will ruin the point of a debate. And it seems you have updated that debate or our moderator has edited it for you. Anyway, this is a useful debate, and hope all the debaters will pay more attention to their spellings. :)

I really agree! If you misspelled words, you sound dumb.(Ha, ha)

Yes, typo's and the wrong wording of things can really confuse people and get the wrong point across.

Of course, logic is a key factor in this as well: Being able to tell what people are saying, when they're typing random nonsense is sometimes hard to do..

A small, once in a while, spelling mistake is easily over looked. I have also noticed that some of our friends across the pond spell some words a little differently than we do.

But when a sentence is so horribly put together and spelled like a four year old was typing; the thrust of the debate is terribly distracted, and the overall ability of the debater is questionable. It may not be fair, but that's how it works. Personally, some of these "authors" subject lines hurt my eyes reading them.

 And then I forgot a key word and ended up looking like an idiot and ended up declaring the opposite of what I wanted.

 Okay, so that rant you gave at me was the result of a horrifying typo. Now read my debate over, with the NOT included.

You started this "spelling" attack toward others in attempts to kill debates. You brought it upon yourself.
