I know it sounds anal but I think we should call for a spirit of all
round better quality posting - or maybe encourage people to lurk and
get a feel for the forums before posting, instead of diving in on the
first day..

Voluntary of course, but actively encouraged to keep a good forum "vibe" as it were.

this spelling thing, it sounds an awful lot like my image thing. you see where that got me..... <-- points at stopgaps) i truly like the way i write, i never considered i was being offensive. before you deny it, you wouldn't have used me as an example, if you didn't feel that in some way it was.
take it from someone who gets into trouble constantly for attempting good intentions. you cannot win this one. i lose constantly, i should know. :sad:

See my post in Suggestions. I don't honestly care about writing correctly unless it really distracts from what the writer is saying; writing in all lower-case with commas used to accentuate tone, as you do, is definately unobtrusive. If you started writing things like "..!!Plz Unbann me plz and thnx :cry: :cry: :cry: [color=white]" then there would be a problem.[/color]

In case you haven't noticed, nobody else here types like that. Probably because it's annoying to read and difficult to parse. It's rather inexcusable if you actually know english but willingly choose to type like a moron.

Give it time; I foresee the mass extinction of all vowels by 2020, and by 2050 the entire English language will have reverted back to a muffled grunting sound.

Seriously! Mobile phones and mass stupidity have quickly taken hold of this, and the next generation. It's only a matter of time untill the number 8 becomes the 27th letter of the alphabet.

It'll mess up scrabble too, what with the over use of the 'cool' letters, X K, Z and 0 :razz:

Why was he banned, not becouse of bad spelling I hope.

Then I would have to copy / paste every word i type into MSword to see if I have not misspelled anything :sad:

Anyway, I will also try to speak english from now on :biggrin: , with capital I and complete words.

</DIV></DIV>

Actually I think that the "cool letters" not are E- and I: Ipod Email Imac Eharmony. QXKZ are all popular for radio stations. ALSO more and more product names are being spelled wrong. K is substituted in for C. Z takes over for S at the end of words. The U taking over for many sounds like "Gurl" or some even spell it "Grrl" E takes over for many sounds as in "werd up" as i have seen.
In my 5th graade year i was a finalist in a spelling bee, I was asked to spell "Barbecue" I did not spell it BBQ as so many places spell it, but i spelled it "Barbeque" as it is spelled on every restaurant and product i have seen to date. This is, however, improper spelling. This is just one example of how our stupid-spelling culture f**ks things up.

Give it time; I foresee the mass extinction of all vowels by 2020, and by 2050 the entire English language will have reverted back to a muffled grunting sound.

Seriously! Mobile phones and mass stupidity have quickly taken hold of this, and the next generation. It's only a matter of time untill the number 8 becomes the 27th letter of the alphabet.

It'll mess up scrabble too, what with the over use of the 'cool' letters, X K, Z and 0 :razz:

Repent...!

Actually I think that the "cool letters" not are E- and I: Ipod Email Imac Eharmony. QXKZ are all popular for radio stations. ALSO more and more product names are being spelled wrong.

Don't get me started on the drive "thru"! That is one that pisses me off endlessly because I have a friend who claims that is the proper way to spell "through".

Oh, geez. You know that is the sort of thing I'm talking about. Oh yeah i've noticed you're pretty smart. what degrees do you have? and why do you know all this stuff, You are one of the few ppl I have seen using words like i use like "Quantum mechanics" other things like that "thermodynamics." You seem to be at least at my level, which is saying something.
