@Admins:

I remember you mentioning something on Mei's Warrior's RP in BaB about a Chatterbox spelling test. "I am thinking of posting a Chatterbox spelling test sometime with a list of words frequently misspelled on Chatterbox."
I don't know which Admin it was, but I'm curious. . . When will that happen (if it does)? How exactly would it work? For the most part, spelling and grammar is correct on CB. Everyone makes mistakes sometime, and I think it would be great to give a little help to people having trouble with that aspect of writing. 

 

It was me! I don't have a physical list, only mental, of frequently misspelled words on CB. I guess it couldn't actually be a regular spelling test, because I've have to type the words for the test. But I may compile a list of words I wish everyone would learn. Off the top of my head:

appearance, disappear, the correct use of you're vs. your,  piece, phoenix, a lot (two words) it's (contraction of it is), its (possessive, no apostrophe), principal vs. principle, control, . . .

I know it's easy to make typos and I do excuse a few, but I also encourage people to check their work before submitting it. When I have time I actually correct spelling before posting comments, but that seems to happen less and less these days.

Same! I always type "teh" instead of "the"! Things like that are usually just typos, and pretty easy to correct if you proofread your work. And as Admins don't and shouldn't do it for you, everyone should.
