WTF is up lately?

[Brian]

What's up with all the retards lately? I've never been the grammar police (leave that to my girlfriend), but some of the newer members posts are completely unreadable. I've seen more articulate writing from 7 year olds (no, seriously I have).

I think i'm going to install a spell checker.

[STIBungy]

Please do that.

[M@]

Holy shit this is priceless. Nice typo. :D

I <3 my laptop keyboard.

[Conrad]

no dont install one... it adds to their character! :rofl:

[Brian]

and to my headache

[Ashton]

That is a great idea Brian. Spell Check.

[smithz]

"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink"

Unless you somehow force these "less than literate" members to spell check (which, I might add, still requires a small amount of intelligence to use properly) I don't think you will be achieving much... It's similar to handing a dictionary to a 4 year old... doesn't accomplish much.

It's a nice thought though... :D

[Robert_K]

I might not be able to spell but I don't make mistake on purpose like have this forums does with their: t3h, <3, !!!!111! and etc...

[myshtern]

Please dont install a spell check. They bug the shit out of me on forums, like pop-up ads. P

[Kwando]

hai use to have a spell checker at one point

Yes, and he's still around, his name is Weston. :D

<3 isn't a purposeful mistake. How else would you do it?

The sad thing is that it's easier to read that than some of the posts by the noobs here.

Can you just put an auto ban on anyone who owns a 240?

A grammar test will weed out more...

I know hooker, your answer was wrong though.

You ricer :D

[MrsGhandi]

Ghandi has nicknamed me miss grammar pants, and I absolutely can't stand "internet" words and symbols.

If I'm looking at a post and there's more than 3 words misspelled in the first line, I won't even read the rest of it. Honestly Brian, there is no hope...even with spellcheck.

[smithz]

Ghandi has nicknamed me miss grammar pants
Sounds like it's time for a new username MrsGrammarPants... :D

[DC2]

I have respect for the few that have a reason to misspell words, aka "not speaka da english"

[Brian]

THat's why I ask first. If english isn't their primary language I can respect that. English is difficult, and at the very least they are trying.

[6MT&LSD]

I'm assuming they're typing/writing "street," like how they talk. This makes me not want to meet them... because I know I'll snap after they blurt out 2 sentences.

Oh well, I'll just do what I do now - skip the post if it looks like a big block of run on sentences with spelling and grammar errors.

Another thing that annoys me is when they use "............" instead of just hitting the "enter" a couple of times and make it easier to read.

:sigh:

haha.....yea,.....I love that shit.....

[-=[Juztin]=-]

I think you should force posters with < 200 posts to have to use the spellchecker in order to make a post. Once they go beyond that post count, it's then just optional.

lol....i love my........ideas

[AgressivMX3]

hey......i do that sometimes.....and my grammar is excellent.......I didn't realize it bothered people........maybe I'll do it more.......lol

[smithz]

Three periods in a row, or "...", is actually a punctuation mark called an ellipse.

[-=[Juztin]=-]

.... <-- what's that called?

[smithz]

=-'].... <-- what's that called?
That's an ellipse with a period after it. In theory that's what you do if your ellipse falls at the end of a sentence I guess.

[6MT&LSD]

Yeah, I know what "..." is. I said "........." bothers me. It's still incorrect to connect 120 sentences with "..." or "..............."

Assholes.

Settle. :D

[Dave_L]

"...................." is a pause.

[smithz]

"......................................."

This also describes the time in a woman's life prior to menopause. A whole bunch of periods and then nothing. :D
