If you have been here in the early days after SFC eaw got released up to the release of OP you would have seen the spelling police in force. Espicaly those that used to discount others arguments simply because of a few misspled words.

I for one am glad they are gone, it almost tore this place apart along with a few other events.

Just some random posting but something that I have noticed lately and dont miss it.

You're right. Why worry about correctness and the truth when you could be ignorant?

EAW should be capitalized and preceded by a colon.

You misspelled: "especially", "misspelled"

and left the apostrophe off of the word "don't."

Feel better?

It wasn't the occasional mis-spelled word that people objected to. It was posting style. Some people had posting styles that made it extremely difficult to read and understand. We also had users that really over used shortcuts meant more for instant messaging than posts.

I've wanted to correct you on your spelling K, if nothing else I used to jam at English. but lately I have found myself having to correct myself and write things down, so I have no room to talk anymore. I just wanted people to get the best impression of you amigo.

I'll be honest, I'm sure alot of people have Cringed at my Slaughtering of the english language, But then again, Alot of you also understand My dyslexia.

I think this forum has been great for me on that accord, as It has made me try abit Harder to spell correctly, and not Screw up as much as I have. Of course I still re-read something I've posted and realize Horrible Mistakes, But I'm trying guys, I really am.

This thread does not exactly fit in cool and refreshing - considering its discussion of bannings I believe it belongs in the private forum that I have not joined on principle. If you want to dump on people where they cannot cannot defend themselves do it in private. That is what your new forum is for. What's the matter, no fun if the public can't see it?

Oh, and you capitalised "no" in your title when it should not have been (in addition to Greens corrections).

I used to correct the spelling here on the old forums under a different name to lighten up heavy arguements sometimes but gave up after a time. (I realised the futility of my efforts...) Some people's writing has improved considerably while here; practice makes perfect!

I try not to make may typos, and I do attempt to keep my verbosity at a minimum. However there are certain posters in which I feel the need to make sure I leave few, if any, stones unturned.

I will admit there are still a few left who could use with some help on paragraphs and genreal punctuation. But, I would never wish to Moct (mock?) on anyone.
