    I've seen lots of posts with wrong use of what and wat, knew and new, their and they're. I've been going crazy.

    Is this the joke?

    You got Frank instead of Frank? I don't think this makes sense. Why would expect anything else?

    I hope that it's a joke. I'm confused since it's my first day logged onto the site and I was told to have proper grammar but then I see a bunch of mistakes. It took me a few minutes to figure out who 'Frank' was.

    No. I got "Frank" instead of "G.inny".

    If people are talking about a lot of words having incorrect spelling I noticed that too.

    eg:

    Edit: As a note, it seems my own words didn't get screwy. But that may just be for me. And it seems to have effected even relatively old posts in the stories area.

    I'm not sure why there is confusion about Christmas, you people always celebrate that a different day each year. Lunar calendar, remember?

    How funny. It changed, "please ignore me, I apologise." to "Toggle option or riot"

    Top laughs.

    You should probably look to your own spelling and grammar before you bring up deficiencies in others'.

    So, is this purposeful? Was the site hacked? Do I need to change any passwords I share on here with elsewhere? Was there some announcement I missed?

    The site was hacked but most people's data was safe.
