I do make a lot of spelling mistakes ... Thank god for spellcheck these days. I am sure if I make grammatical mistakes as well ..
I remember this at school (probably 8th standard) when Amin Bulsari was asked to read from the english book and he read Rhinoceros as Rhino-Cors Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2010 17:56:26 +0000 Subject: Re: nice way to combat common english mistakes :) From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Hey Nayan, I hope you didn't think I was picking on you, did you? The idea was to bring and discuss people's favourite/pet mistake. Mine being the error in spelling "occasion" and many more. Since I already knew yours I mentioned that. And this was because it was discussed a while ago. Of course, it doesn't matter even if you make mistakes and even i am guilty of never reading what I write, until i hit the send button. And it is my profession!!! I had a childhood friend who was quite anal about spellings...question or contest him and he would immediately run to the dictionary and prove himself right. A many years ago, while in a gossip session, i said, "your illicit relationship..." and he laughed and said it is illict (pronounced as illikt) and not ill-is-it. He had never realised there is an i before the last letter. I protested quite confidently this time. And he again ran to the dictionary and was completely shocked to know that all the while when he was reading the cover pages of Stardust, filmfare and gossip fares, he just didn't notice the 'i'. This is what i meant by mistakes which may be silly but refuse to get shaken off. Long mail? Well i have to make up for the lullness off late in the group, nai?
