    Go ahead, if it's true I deserve to be punished.
    I suspect you don't have the innate excellence to differentiate between acceptable and unacceptable spelling mistakes, but let's just see.

    Concievably- that's probably a typo
    contraversial- that's a shocker, a Barry Crocker
    stiffled- major clanger, that's about grade three, primary school
    inhibitted- same rule, same result
    truely-these are not good Lou
    dyeing-ugghhh!
    edgey- tsk, tsk,tsk

    Yeah see, no, I am not ashamed of those (except for one) and do not consider them to be of the retard class.

    Concievably- Every moron knows that rule, it's therefore quite awesome to disregard it.
    Contraversial- say controversial and try to not sound like a ponce
    stiffled- ...
    Inhibitted- Yeah, when I stop to think about this I get it right, I admit it doesn't come naturally to me, but I don't consider it a retarded mistake.
    Truely - what the fuck is tru? I've seen one person spell true tru, and they were a bogan saying "tru blue mate". I will always spell it truely, and it won't be by mistake.
    Dyeing- Ok, paid. That was a momentary lapse in concentration. Just curious, do you see how this is different to the others?
    Edgey- Like truely, so it should be- english is wrong in this instance

    It is silly to change the basic spelling to add a suffix or to make a plural.

    That reminds me.

    "Could HAVE"; not "could OF"!

    By the way, along this same vein, what about atrociously screwed-up truns of phrases.
    If you don't know what you are saying and why it makes sense - please don't say it.

    "For all intensive purposes" makes no sense at all. Know why? Because the expression is "for all intents and purposes" and that DOES make sense.

    Oops.

    I bet people who say "close minded" say "open minded" and not "far minded".

    "Different FROM", not "different TO" or "different THAN".

    In a TV news story just now an anchor said "I wonder what would happen if you throw the phone under the subway".

    That's right, we have concentration camps.
    One small lapse in concentration and we send in the goons.
