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:

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 .....

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

:lol:

:lol:

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.

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!!!
