Impressive. But language is an evolving medium. I suppose if we get everyone saying "Figi", they'll make it an alternative spelling...
We definitely need another post on this :rolleyes: . I can't see that ever happening with Fiji because it is the name of a place, however, it might happen to flourecent, or definatley. :biggrin: ; Especially with Pisces advertising flourescent lights in the newspaper. :eek:

Just so you know, I did read over that, saw it, went back to correct it, but can't explain why it posted wrong. Maybe this post is getting to me!! :razz:

BTW, nobody is allowed to respond to this thread unless they voted. You voted, right Tony?? :biggrin:

Delphinus 01-04-2005 04:25 PM
Shore did dere Brad, I was the first person after you .... (I assume you were the one vote that was there before mine). Unless YOU yerselv haf not voted .....

Bob I 01-04-2005 04:48 PM
I honestly voted, but I agree with Tony in that the poll is not accurate. Misspellings make me mildly annoyed, but I won't lose a minute's sleep because of them. :rolleyes: I do, however, thank you very much Brad for the opportunity to do a great deal of post padding. :biggrin:

as someone already mentioned, sure some things warrant pointing out, like fuji for instance, since it is an easily correctable mistake, and something that is directly related to this hobby, but i figure as long as the posters idea is conveyed easily, then it's all good.

what really picks my butt is when i try to read someones post that is really really long and is written without any punctuation whatsoever so it is just this one super duper long run on sentance that it actaully looks like some kinda legal document i mean come on how hard is it to throw in a few punctuation marks or to even just hit the enter button to space things out a bit and seperate some of the main ideas behind the post it really does make a big difference as to how easy it would be to read so i dont lose my place in the paragraph it would really help me to help you thanks much appreciated

In my opinion the guy that corrects the mistake angers me more than the guy that makes the mistake. When someone corrects my spelling I make a point to spell everything absolutely wrong from there on out.

AndyL 01-05-2005 06:31 AM
Personally I'm an internet bully :) I like to abuse anyone for the slightest mistake... :onfire:

I'm kiddin! I just like padding my post count in the least useful method possible!!!

Wow if this isn't a waste of time i dont know what is. Doesn't everyone have a fish tank they can be caring for instead of debating spelling errors, or the correct way to spell Fuji.

AJ_77 01-05-2005 07:12 AM
You go Shawn! :biggrin:

Doug 01-05-2005 02:24 PM

If you don't want to waste time by taking part in this discussion, you don't have to. :biggrin:

After almost 100 posts on this thread, what are we talking about? :lol:

This is the lounge, right, so that means people come here when they don't have more important things to do, like water changes :lol:

Exactly!

AndyL 01-05-2005 11:39 PM
My newyears resolution was to procrastinate more - so I'm trying to avoid doing the water change that I should be doing as I type this...


So anyone watched any good haaakey lately? :)

That's it! You hit the nail right on the head! :eek:

People that constantly correct other people for spelling and so on, feel like they're in control and more intelligent than others when they correct them. :lol:

Thanks for helping me to realize this!

Shawn, I can't tell when you're trying to spell poorly and when it's accidental/careless... :eek:

And Quinn, I think you could be a little less clear with your points... :rolleyes:

AJ_77 01-06-2005 01:09 AM

Thats just how good i am, but when i do make spelling errors its usually because im typing to fast, not because i cant spell. :mrgreen:

snaggle 01-06-2005 04:05 AM

Wow and i thought i was bad, I cant even figure out whats hes trying to say, or isnt trying to say :neutral:

snaggle 01-06-2005 07:01 AM
it was suposed to "once I could spell but I sold all the big words" but I was gaping out from being up for like 48 hours, next time I will read it over before I send it. I wanted to make the point is I dont care I cant spell and probily never will. now I think I will sleep for a day or two.

Brad

SuperFudge 01-10-2005 03:25 AM
You all have it incorrect ,

The Correct spelling would be " Fudge" :lol:
