bad spelling

I think you all know what bad spelling is.

It is a thing you should try not to do.

It is especially important if you are doing something like adding a definition to urban dictionary, posting on a forum or adding to wikipedia etc., and would like your definition, or post, to be taken seriously and to avoid all your hard work being ruined and losing credibility.

I am not including any spelling differences that exist between the UK and the US and am only referring to 'established' words rather than urban, street, text or forum and IM languages.

You do not have to be a good speller. You can always have dictionary.com open in another window, or just type the word (however you think it's spelled) into google, and if it's spelled incorrectly, google will offer alternatives, and you can just cut n paste!
The definition, about the drug, seemed to make sense and I was begining to think that the person who had posted it was correct, until I spotted they had spelled 'heroine' instead of 'heroin'.

The bad spelling started me doubting the knowledge and intelligence of the person posting the definition and, therefore, the definition itself.

proper spelling

1. A skill that is rapidly becoming anachronistic since the advent of the computer age. Being able to spell words correctly as they appear in a dictionary of the English language.

2. Something so rapidly diminishing that it prompted a major university to do a study showing that it's not really necessary, that as long as the first and last letters of a word are in place, we can figure it out. So apparently spelling for its own sake would be useless, then. Fuckers.
I am bitter because no one employs proper spelling any more, instead choosing to take the easy road in our society of instant gratification.

smelling the sushi

When a woman touches her inner labia and then smells her fingers to see how fresh she smells. The name is derived from that fact that the texture of the inner labia is similar to that of some fish used in sushi.
I caught Tina with her fingers down her pants... I thought she was fingering herself but it turns out she was just smelling the sushi.

smelling yourself

Checking yourself out. ( looking in the mirror to much ) Thinking that you have swag or game. Flirting with a lot of showing off involved. Being vain or egotistical.
Every time you get around a female you start smelling yourself like you got mad swag. It's like you instantly turn into Soulja Boi or something.
