i cant spell either very well please dont worry about it xxxxxxxxxlorraine xx

Well I didn't even notice Em, and I haven't had an accident so I haven't even got an excuse! LOL I didn't know about your accident and I've certainly never noticed any of the symptoms you've mentioned. Isn't it a shame that somebody had to mention the spelling mistake in the first place. I've seen alot worse on here.......usually in my posts! Jeanette x

Dont worry Em the otherday someone on here asked did i know the Queens English,did i know how to spell,,,,no ,,,,always said i cant grammer ,,not an ounce, ,,,, said that if you knew me you know i write like i speak,i ended up as usual appoligising. so im afraid if you want to hear from me,youjust sort of guess what the word is.............i deleted the thread after felt an idiot,upset,,why just because the conma's are in the wrong place but sorry if its hard to read,,but it's me take it or leave it

I too am slower than I was, having had a couple of accidents where I landed on my head and had concussion. Surely it doesn't matter about the grammar and spelling, as long as you get the point across - after all we aren't at school.......

Em, My other half has memory problems just like yours, following a mild stroke three years ago. I must admit we do sometimes get the giggles when he comes out with the wrong word, or gets tongue tied, but I do understand your frustration. Some days he feels totally useless when he has a bad day. Sometimes, when he is getting frustrated at himself and struggling to say a word, I pull his hair which annoys him. He swears, telling me to **** off! Then he can go back to what he was saying, as that diversion seems to unlock whatever is 'stuck'.

Goodness Em, please don't worry about it. Who on here can hold their hand up and say that they never spell anything wrong. You write brilliantly, you are fun and always ready for a laugh and you give some brilliant advice. I wish I could find the words to give advice like you do. Chrissie x

Em I'm sure people are more interested in what you are saying, not how you're spelling it - It's your personality that people care about, nothing else matters. Sharon xx

Em when I read your posts I see a warmhearted woman who I would be proud to have as a friend. The spelling mistakes are unimportant and happen to the most intelligent and intellectual amongst us so please try not to worry about it. Easy for me to say I know but I can honestly say I love you just as you are! You bring sunshine into my mornings with your guess the next line threads and all the others so thank you! Julie xxx

I know what you mean girl, (((((HUGS)))))

You do not need to apologise or worry. I make mistakes like that all of the time and have no bloomin excuse and even when I notice half the time don't worry about correcting it. :o)))))) xx I'll second that, you do very well.

Some pople know, i had a nasty accident about 3 years ago, causing some long term problems with regards memory, speech and concentration.... only very small probs, and probably not noticable by most people, but never the less... they are there. Well, i have kept my mind very active since, and read books, written articles,kept my hand in regards my career by some freelance work and typed away on here til i am blue in the face hoping this would help. But lately i have noticed i seem to be getting worse.... my spelling is going down the drain alarmingly, I am less able to find the words i need and my short term memory is rubbish!. I hit a low today when i spelt sheppherd... sheppard and it was picked up on by another member... i was so embarrassed... i know this is a very tiny mistake in most peoples eyes, but it is a huge big problem in my life... and very frustrating too... not so much the spelling because i do not realise i have mispelt something until it is picked up by someone else, but the inability to find the words i need... so all i am saying is...Please ignore my spelling and grammar... and if i forget to do or say something or seemingly ignore a request it is not my ignorance or bad manners but my stupid memory.... oh sigh.... when i am about 80 this will be acceptable wont it! lol
