Or just learn how to spell.

That would work.

Can you argue with the unquestionably concluding logic of a certain electric blue monkey?

As to your statement that 'reading is pointless', I really have to object. It is evident from some of your work that you don't read nearly as much as you could. It helps with spelling, as well as the story in general. My advice is read more. I read, and my spelling is, to be blunt, very good. Reading and writing go hand in hand. If you want one, you really have to accept the other. The fact that you've even said that reading is useless disurbs me. The fact of the matter is, if you don't read, you're never going to improve, spelling or otherwise.

To offer some real advice.

Go to your TV, click on the menu and turn on the closed captioning. It might be annoying at first, but after a few weeks, you'll get used to the letters at the bottom of the screen and start reading them. If you hear strange word, just look down to check how its spelled. I'm positive this will help.

Eh, I wouldn't trust that one too much.

They misspell things a lot on CC.

Mispellings are only frequent on live feed, since a machine translates the sound into words.

If you're watching a recorded show or movie, the captioning has to be almost 100% right. Or else the people getting payed to caption aren't doing their job...

I used to watch cartoons on closed captioning. Every few words was garbled junk. =/

Then we should sue them.

Yay!

Power to suing over nothing. =D

A DICTIONARY!!!!!!! If you are unsure check it. Or just use spell check on Word.

First of all, take a deep breath and consider what people who posted before me said. Most all of them make good, reasonable points.

To make another point, you say that because people criticize you, you are ready to give up writing altogether. This is a rather ridiculous reason to give up on something, no? Especially something you claim to enjoy so much.

It's hard to reassure people that you have a real passion for writing if, when people say, "hey, you misspelled that", you give up. Perservereance. And I think I just misspelled that....LOL

Perseverance...
