I, for one, appologize. I didn't mean to start WWIII (or is it WWIV now?). I simply can't stand that kind of post. Short-hand is fine for a chat room, and typos happen to the best of us (or the worst of us, like me); but when you have enough time to spell everything right (like now) and use all the right punctuation (also like now) there's no reason not to at least make it readable. My guess is that Link the hylian hero can spell better than that if he put his mind to it. I don't want to start a flame war (like I said, I appologize for any offence you may have taken at my post, Link the hylian hero) but it's true that his post really is hard to read, at least for me. you're right when you say to either try to read it or ignore it, but I think it's in his best interest to listen to SOMEONE that says he needs to improve his spelling, or his topics are going to be strangely empty as everyone takes your advice and ignores them.
P.S.

The kid didn't flame anyone[,] gave a simple opinion about a game he likes that holds absolute relevance to this forum[,] and like only one person actually stuck to the topic[;] every one else, including myself with this post[,] just started ragging on the kid for his poor grammar and spelling.
I didn't realize having to use proper gra[m]mar was now a requirment for posting on this board! Its either spell **** right or get your ass handed to you by a bunch of [E]nglish geeks with too much time on [their] hand[s][.] [img]tongue.gif[/img] |
