    PLEASE at least attempt to spell your posts better then.. well I've made enough smart assed remarks that are applicable here, cut and paste your own, or just search for them.

    But for the love of Angelica Bridges we shouldn't need a decoder ring set to "stupid" to read the flood of posts we've been getting. I'll continue to simply delete the ones that are hardly readable.

    We don't ask you to spellcheck everything, typo's are fine, hell one of my favorite personalities in IRC has the nickname typa (the female form of typo) but for the love of christ, lay off a bit, I can only stab myself in the eyes to see from a blind person typing's viewpoint so many times before it's permanent.

    Indeed, the grammar here has been degrading for a while. Let's keep it simple, if your post looks like a retarded monkey threw it's feces at a keyboard(which encompasses a great deal of our latest posts), don't post it.

    :cry: The spelling has degraded in here. It's gotten to the point where I don't even check General often anymore just for the sheer amount of mispelled, spammy, posts.

    Try and clean it up, preview's there for a reason.

    Yes, too true, unfortunately. Spelling...Grammar...all that stuff people like to see in posts...it has been lacking as of late. Of course it isn't like spelling and grammar has to be perfect, I mean, I make a freakish amount of typos myself...but I also look through the post before posting to make sure it makes sense and such. It isn't like doing so takes a whole lot of time or effort, but people will definitely be happier. less irritated, etc.

    Right... here's the deal. If you know you spelling sucks go and grab yourself a copy of Firefox from here. Once you've managed to install that get yourself the SpellBound extension from Here. Once you have that install a dictionary from here. I caution you that a non-English dictionary is no use when your posting on this site.

    Now there's absolutely no reason for your posts to look like they were typed by drunken retarded monkey.

    Aye, but slashy we simply wish for the post to make sense without having to get creative with the way you interpret some of these posts. I'm not concerned with the folks who don't catch a few errors, I'm concered about the folks who, if they read their own posts out loud, would make fun of themselves for how stupid they sounded.

    Stop making fun of the monkeys!!!

    Ok errm please read over your posts. You don't even need a dictionary or Abc check just read your posts, and if your smart enough to use a computer then your smart enough to spell decently.

    Yeah, MD is turning into a grammer/spelling error buffet.

    I don't delete the posts, but sometimes (when I can) I correct them... A lot more is slipping through now though because I have 6 AP Exams and I have to study my ass off.

    Well, at least it isn't as bad as the NSider forums... the people that post in the MPH forum only seem to know how to type with their flopping goldfish. Yes it gets that bad.

    Wasn't bad spelling and grammar one of the reasons why oldmagic was banned?

    Yes I did, but he did not get banned for that. It was very annoying but the main reason he was banned because of his spamming.

    Oldmagic did get banned for his mindless spamming. We told him repeatedly to stop, but he didn't listen, and so got banned.

    The spelling had a part in it, but not a major part.

    But yes...please glance over your posts to check for any glaring errors. For me, I just stare at the screen and look to see if I mispelled anything...and then use the backspace button if I do do something wrong. Works good enough for me.

    Obviously most people are going to have grammatical errors, like someone said before, it's a internet forum. But...please, I think the youngest person on this site is 13. That's old enough to know how to spell and read over your own work.

    And heh, sucks to be you Linky. Why don't you just get chatzilla?

    On the computers that I can use, I'm not allowed to d/l anything without permission, and I asked if I could dowload chatzilla, but I wasn't allowed to. I can't wait until my laptop'slogic board is fixed...
