Rule #10.
From how to blog by Tony Pierce:
10. use spellcheck unless youre completely totally keeping it real. but even then you might want to use it if you think you wrote something really good.Here's where me and Tony part company. Spell checkers suck. I offer for your edfication a poem:
Ode to my spell checker (author unknown)Cut it, paste it, try it. Slides through your spell checker like shit through a goose. Spell checkers suck.
Eye halve a spelling checker
It came with my pea sea.
It plainly marks four my revue miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a quay and type a word and weight for it to say
Weather eye yam wrong oar write.
It shows me strait a weigh as soon as a mist ache is maid.
It nose bee fore two long and eye can put the error rite.
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it,
I am shore your pleased to no.
Its letter perfect awl the way.
My checker told me sew.

So now he covers up poor spelling by saying he's "keeping it real"? Please.
dood u r so not keepin it real
Dude, you know how to spell. For those of us that don't, typos and mis-spellings undercut the validity of what we are trying to say. At least, when I read a post that has more than one (they get one) mistake, I think "fuck them if they can't be bothered."
Just one man's opinion.
Spell checkers suck. I did say that I disagreed with Tony on this one.
Dude, like nobody ever stays on topic on my blog. Nothing but threadjacks. You guys should get your own blogs.
We all have blogs. No one reads them. So we blog on your blog.
And you threadjacked yourself there, buddy.
Okay, new rule: If you threadjack, you're on topic. If you comment on the post, you're threadjacking. It's backwards day at IQM.
What if you talk about threadjacking on a post which is not about threadjacking, but where threadjacking has already been mentioned?
You need a homonym checker, not a spell checker.
