I just want to say, if I see anyone not using spell check around here, with a misspelling that I can identify at a glance, I'll be taking you to task. Your name is mud around these parts.
Nurses with better spelling than mine, on the other hand, are obviously anal retentive perfectionists. Or else they are using spell check, the great equalizer.
Obvious grammatical errors will be pointed out immediately. And, I expect you educated people to know that:
Your is a singular possessive pronoun
You're is a conjunction of you and are
Their is a plural possessive pronoun
They're is a conjunction of they and are
Loose means the opposite of tight
Lose means the opposite of win
Any questions?
Advise instead of advice. Yanker (or some other version) instead of yankauer. Really?
A friend recently posted on FB about a praying mantice instead of mantis.
Spelling isn't complicated.
What if a nurse wrote a list of symptoms as "unable to eat diarrhea" instead of "unable to eat, diarrhea...". Come on! Spelling and grammar count!

This one should have had a beverage alert

A preceptor of my classmate called it "deltroid" when she did an IM. My classmate looked at the chart one time and it had been spelled correctly, then the preceptor grabbed the chart to "correct" the spelling from deltoid to put the r in there! Hubby was helping our middle schooler with his homework and middle schooler had to create a Power Point presentation showcasing different climates, so he's doing it like a vacation slideshow. Hubby was looking at it and told him to say "When I got to the tundra I seen a polar bear" and I had to stop them both. I seen is NOT RIGHT!!!!
