Spelling in thread titles

[LastPoet]

You told yourself out...

[Jackalope]

Indeed. And now we all know what happens when you threaten other members in PM.

Some punk with only 101 posts acting like a big dog?


Piss off!

Thank you, I have been waiting for this day and now I am glad.

Amen.

Look, I apologise if I've upset anyone. I've been careful since I joined, and this thread was a genuine query, not a wind up. I suggest this thread is locked now and we all go about our business.

You didn't upset me. Thanks to this thread, the only member who was on my ignore list has now been banned.

Heh not upset here. Don't take my snark personally.

Honestly, I'd prefer it if people took a reasonable effort to spell correctly and use reasonably correct grammar, as would all of the staff, I expect.

This, this and this. I know I occasionally vent about this stuff, but unless it's to do with a serious issue with communication and clarity, it's all meant as good-natured ribbing (for her pleasure, naturally). Hell, I'm not exactly whiter than white when it comes to the odd typo and split infinitive. As long as the meaning of what's being communicated isn't affected, then knock yourself out. Moaning about it is a hobby of mine.

It's when someone does it for the sake of it, or persists wilfully even after they "might of" been picked up on it, that gets up my nose.

And mods should act professionally.

Do you realize that when we aren't acting in official capacity, that the staff are just ordinary members and can pretty much act as they wish, just like anyone else here?

Exactly. I was once merely a lowly bluehat before I got the calling and was Modified. Now my hat is green but I'm still basically a bluehat underneath, just with a few extra buttons and the ability to talk about everyone behind their backs.

Yes, grammar Nazis are a necessary evil, but in moderation, like most things in life.

Now why do Americans say: The check's in the mail when the queen writes:
The cheque's in the mail! The difference is theoretical cause I ain't givin' you no stinkin' money either ways you look at it!

Hehe

[Losty]

I figured the queen would say it's been posted.
