Nurses with worse spelling than mine are laughable.

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? :nurse:

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!!!!

One more thing:

People who can't get "hahahaha" right. Is it really that hard to alternate one 'h' with one 'a' in the correct order several times?

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!
