Took me a while to figure it out too. As far as I can gather, it means (spelling?) - ie not sure how to spell that word. When someone says it they also imply that it won't be rude if someone else corrects them. Does that sound about right?

When you're unsure of a word's spelling, write it anyway and slap a (sp?) onto it.

It could mean SouthPerry, Shadow Partner, etc. but in the context of (sp?), it usually means the person writing is unsure of how to spell the word. I personally put it after words Im not sure of, just so the context of the sentance can still be understood. Most of the time, it doesnt bug me but it will when the context of the sentance is completely changed because of a mispell =X Ie. I hate giant elephants running in my back yard I have giant elephants running in my back yard That one letter changes the complete meaning of the sentance (though that word is easy to spell) so if I wasnt sure which spelling was right, I'd stick a (sp?) behind it. |
