Speling Airors

[Teh_Poet]

Is it just me, or does it get really annoying with all of the mispellings in thread titles? It really distracts me, and keeps me from entering some threads out of annoyance.

 

[baron insig]

oee moi god yeh but like maybe it was shirly but u can only get pregnant form dirty baff watur

nice idea for a thread,, still not as witty as m post your avatar here thread tho

 

[mabufo]

People type as fast as they can... I do... I suppose it's because I never really learned to type properly... Woe is me...

If you can't deal with it - it's just too bad I suppose, because shit happens - and so do typos.

 

[kirovman]

I made a typo in a thread title once, but corrected it within 5 mins when I saw it.

I too am irritated by them, because you have to read them to browse the forums.

One that springs to mind is something about "favorable" which I would prefer to see being spelt "favourable" in accordance with the historical heritage of my language....but what do I know, I'm just a Brit who is used to seeing his language being abused, by abroad English speakers, or UK English speakers who write in "txt spk".

 

[AmishSlayer]

What bugs me is how so many people get "there", "they're", and "their" mixed up. Same with your and you're - people mess them up all the time.

 

[mabufo]

Well, the thing is about that.. is words like favorable, and color ect. are spelled differently in the states than they are in canada, the UK and so on.

I often get into arguments with my british friends on CS about it... but hey - it's something that we both have to deal with

your rite. their, isnt that better?

pisses me off too. Abuse of the language

I don't mean to be a grammer nazi, but there are lines I'd rather not cross.
Basic spelling and grammer is one of them (barring the odd mistake, which is ok-ish).

I bet I've made hundreds of spelling mistakes in the above sentence, haven't I? :dozey:

 

[TechnoHippyChic]

What gets to me is thread titles with no puncuation when it's a question... like they're stating a fact... please put a question mark if it's a question..

 

[rpgprog]

this thread attracted b.c of the spelling airor

 

[Danimal]

I hate people who can't spell. I mean, it's ok to make a few mistakes. But I am talking about sentences like this:

omg dis is nut skool itz teh interneet!!!! ligthnen up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow it took me a while to get that nut was not, but other than that it was mostly readable.

 

[Stigmata]

It's one thing when you switch up "there", "their" and "they're". But it's a completely different story when you're trying to write "we're" and end up with whare. That's not a word.

Honestly, those kids spend more time deciding what to wear than they do on their education.

Since you're a Yogurt, you can get away with it. But what you just said then, sounds so wrong.

 

[Axyon]

All of the above mentioned really annoy me, but especially incorrect use of contraction. The next time I see someone mention how they play "their game's" or something...

I find it more ironic that what you said was not an xample of irony...just ignorance and stupidity!

 

[xcellerate]

i know that want and wont are too diffrent words but for the life of me i cant say wont. it sounds like want. stupid southern accents.

 

[Yuri]

I'm pretty sure it was irony, buddy. And I was really joking, although people ultra-nazied about grammer are annoying. But so are people who type illegibly.

 

[MarcoPollo]

[Yuri]

Surfin here is a great way to procrastinate!

Erestheux has gone into spam mode. Look at him go.

Soon we'll see some sort of crazy thread (with spelling errors?) from him.

[Hazar]

I think you should get a warning for "Flaming by avatar"

back on topic: punctuation is good! use it!

 

[Yuri]

Would you really?! I like how you wrote pounds, you aren't British, are ya? I'll take the 10 bucks, yo

Btw its true, countries suck, and I love my avatar. BURRNN.

 

[destrukt]

we need a dedicated group of spelling nazi's or a spellcheck mod.

my brother told me of a girl who posted on the earth 2025 forums and - all - she did was correct spelling & grammar.

 

[MarcoPollo]

Would you really?! I like how you wrote pounds, you aren't British, are ya? I'll take the 10 bucks

I would REALLY, if you did that many posts by the end of sunday without getting warned (no spam threads).... actually i would mail it not paypal and I was too lazy to figure out how to make the pound symbol

 

[WaterMelon34]

lol, what a hypocrite. He states he hates it when people can't spell thread titles properly but yet he does it himself... (On purpose or not he's still being a hypocrite)

 

[Danimal]

He did it on purpose, to show an example of what he meant.

 

[WaterMelon34]

I JUST told you I knew that.

 

[Danimal]

It's not hypocrititcal in this situation.

 

[WaterMelon34]

fine. I hope your happy. you ruined my life.

 

[kirovman]

Lol. I'll pay you (£)8lbs of flesh.

Anyway, something a bit more constructive - if you're feeling bad and know you can't spell, here's some tips:
