For the record, these days when i need to spell monastery, i just remember that the a and the e are what get confused - so i simply use the fact that (sorting alpha-wise) a comes before e in this case: monastery.

UPDATE: here is the code as promised. It worked well for my needs, but tweaking will be necessary for your needs. I must admit that i screwed up and lost the content for 79578. I tried to get a copy from http://perlmonks.thepen.com but i was too late. What did i do wrong? I simply used this:

$agent->field('note_doctext');
[download]

$agent->field('note_doctext',$textarea);
[download]

L-LL-L--L-LL-L--L-LL-L--
-R--R-RR-R--R-RR-R--R-RR
B--B--B--B--B--B--B--B--
H---H---H---H---H---H---
(the triplet paradiddle with high-hat)

...as encapsulated by the (now extended) little rhyme...

When spelling Monastery, you need to know,
The vowels are in order, except for the 'o'.

1. Scroll To Top Of Page
2. Look At Links
3. Find The One That Reads The Monastery Gates

..also noted in my post, and further clarified by the yet-again extended ever-more-ridiculous ditty...

With "Monastery" spelling, should you need to engage,
Look! It's there at the top of the bl**din' page.

Cheers,Ben.

I can just imagine the long lines of stationary monks waiting to remember the wrong 'stationery'! :)

What about the following:
All monks are focused "on Mastery" of perl?

Just a thought!

I prefer to spell it "Monsterary". :)

rod_up_read_end? I think you need to show us your DTD :) The only way I can parse that is if it were a typo for s/read/rear/... which, come to think of it, is another mnemonic for spelling monasstery correctly :)

Oops - indeed - another victim of wanton cut'n'paste'n'post'n'then can't edit - rear end it was. Good job I spelt 'Monestary' right...oh damn

Actually what I hate most about online misspellings is that the misspellings start to look right. I've caught myself typing definately recently. And often I have to look up separate to make sure it's right. Arrgh.

Could be worse -- you could start talking like the managers, mixing up nouns and verbs and having no clue how to really conjugate something.

BTW, I hate spelling.

Heh, heh. I understand. Believe me---I understand. Now I know where that ''a'' from ''seperate'' went. (Have you seen that ''a'' and ''e'' at a party together?) ;) But seriously, why should we worry about such things? Maybe all the time we spent on learning how to spell ''Monastery'' right went into learning how to do really cool stuff with Perl for a few other people. I couldn't care less if they spell ''cat'' wrong, as long as they don't misspell P.E.R.L.

Yes, like how to use the functions raverse, sorte, and whyl loops.
I'm just kidding/exaggerating, but spelling is important when coding. Just to widen the scope a little bit...attention to detail is *important* when coding.

True, it's a simple mistake to posts to an extremely user friendly site, but the subject still made a pretty interesting (fun, in the least) conversation...IMHO.

=) That's what I was trying to get at with spelling "P.E.R.L." right. I guess your module include would look something like this:

use English "SpellingChallenged";

I agree. It's been fun. --

I'm glad your life is so squared away that you've got time enough to worry about how others make spelling mistakes.

For my own enjoyment, here's a couple of surplus apostrophe's you can't' erase.

cheers'.

I'm glad *your* life is so 'squared away' that you've got time to log in, downvote, log out again and post an anonymous unwitty uninformative low-grade gripe at a mild self-deprecating discussion that others appear to be enjoying. Little grumpy today were we? Was it past your bedtime, possibly?

That cheers thing is a little worrying though - are you perchance the same stalking AM that keeps posting slightly bizarre replies to some of my more 'OT' posts? Help help - I'm being repressed! :)

Cheers luv.
Ben.
