Trash Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 People put it when they're unsure on how a word is spelt. Like this... I have a lovely cta (sp) and it has long whiskers The word there is 'cat' Now, wwe4eva...can you spot the mistake? Just place a (sp) next to the wrong word! "I am eating a tasty green aplpe." Get it correct and earn a gold star! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2K Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 (sp?) refers to when someone doesn't know the exact spelling of the word, but has a guess regardless in order for their post to make sense. I think that's all that needs to be said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunflower Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 (sp?) drives me nuts. It's so lazy, just look the word up in a dictionary if you don't know how to spell it, how hard is it to actually use the brain you were born with?? So ends todays lecture, tune in tomorrow, same time, same place!! :D :-) :flower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
