Perhaps, but phone texting is what it is.
Any comment about the topic?
As far as 'people in this forum' are concerned, don't be so quick to label everyone the same.

The grammar and spelling Nazis are about?

People who check for spelling errors may be able to memorize well, but memorizing is not the same as understanding. Memorizing is not the same as having original thought.
Although memorizing is useful for playing high level chess, at least memorizing board positions.

Don't see the relevance.
I don't remember saying it was.
Anyways, thought you had put up the excuse that posting on a phone was to blame, not your own lack of spelling knowledge?
Typical for people brought up in group think dominated societies.

As I said, I have no real problem with personal attacks, as long as it actually pertains to the topic.
Hating jocks, even ones that were nice to everyone and took advanced classes, is common enough for nerds. One wedgy too many I suppose.

It isn't relevant because I didn't say 'you can't spell, therefore you are not intelligent'.
I said that you were attempting to poke fun at another poster for being a 'mental giant' (sarcastically) and being uneducated (the 8th grade reference).
By doing so with a post containing a very basic spelling error, you looked foolish. Be that via your own fat fingers and a phone or not.
You may strive to make assumptions about my own mental abilities if you wish. You would be wrong do far.

Originally posted by @eladarI would say that a 'mental giant' is not a clearly defined individual.
Then why is spelling inportant in being a mental giant?
One could argue that such a person has a huge memory, and is thus likely to be a very able speller.
Wouldn't you agree?
