"Belief" is the acceptance of an hypotheses in the absence of data.
"Prejudice" is having an opinion not supported by the preponderance of the data.
"Knowledge" is only found through the accumulation and analysis of data.
RE: I seen that....
I just seen a post in t'other form that said, "We need to figure out a way to break our 500HP wood chipper so that it can stop before we take our lunch break and let the millrights change the blades without losing production."
Obviously I had to do some serious rework around my iPad spell check autocorrect to get that out. I realize the poster with the wood chipper was not likely an Engineer, but I have seen similar posts from people I think may indeed be Engineers. I find it hard to believe they get through college level courses with atrocious spelling skills. Even my MATH teachers would knock off points for bad spelling when I was in school.

Yes, I know it was uppose to be "You're funny".
RE: I seen that....
I simply write as fast as I can, usually without much thought, off the top of my head, and rarely proof-read.
I really don't understand how so many people can dedicate so much of their time to posting in blogs, in this one, and others across the world-wide-web.

I have a spelling checker

Miss steaks aye can knot see.

My checker tolled me sew.
A checker is a blessing.
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when aye rime.
Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule.
The checker pours o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.
Bee fore a veiling checkers
Hour spelling mite decline
And if we're laks oar have a laps
We wood bee maid too wine.
Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare
There are know faults with in my cite
Of nun eye am a wear.
Now spelling does not phase me,
It does knot bring a tier.
My pay purrs awl due glad den
With wrapped words fare as hear.
To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should be proud
And wee mussed dew the best wee can
Sew flaws are knot aloud.
Sow ewe can sea why aye dew prays
Such soft wear four pea seas
And why eye brake in two averse
Buy righting want too please.
Best to you,

With all the garbage that passes for "professional" written communication these days, I can't understand how anyone is expected to become proficient in English as a second language.

'Apple or Microsoft, there wil always be "chair to keyboard interface" errors. '
I have also heard these errors referred to as PEBKAC problems or ID-10-T issues.
PEBKAC: Problem exists between keyboard and chair
ID-10-T: ...IDIOT
One of our lab technicians has even been dubbed the ID-10-T specialist...
