Heinous, heinous, heinous, heinous, heinous....like that? Danu Send a noteboard - 13/04/2012 09:34:50 PM
Believe it or not I don't really have much call for using/spelling heinous so yes, I did have to ask because oddly enough it is not spelled the way it sounds and I knew I wasn't spelling it correctly.

I am a voracious reader and for the most part know the words I read even when I have a problem spelling them which is probably why I realize I'm spelling a word incorrectly and why I keep looking for the correct spelling and why when I am having a problem finding the correct spelling I come here to ask.

I can read the word heinous and know the correct pronunciation and what the word means, but when I was wanting to write it myself I had trouble and thus came here for help. Aaaannnnd got it. Thankyouverymuch!

When I don't know how to spell something I can usually find the correct spelling on my own because the internet has many resources for that. Sometimes though I need other help and that is why sometimes I come here for that help.

I know I am a bad speller, I'll tell you something though I have become a better speller since I joined Wotmania...and I have to tell you I had to look up the correct since rather than sense. You see I do know the difference between the two I just can't seem to remember...Never mind.

Wotmania and RAFO has helped me with my spelling and I've become a better speller thanks to both. Would it make you happier if I didn't come here for help with my spelling? Does it some how offend you? I ask because your post seems just a tiny bit bitchy to me.

You do realize of course that spelling ability has nothing to do with intellect?

Oh. One more thing, so very sorry if my punctuation is off. I would appreciate it if you would read through this and tell me where I should have punctuated properly.

Thank you for your kind help.
