Ouch, yeah, that was a bad one.


So, I'm guessing you voted for the lost sleep, eh Brad?

Nope, just trying to point out how annoying the spelling police can be!! And even the people that do care make mistakes with spelling and punctuation, sometimes repeatedly throughout a thread.
And I'm thinkin' that anyone that cares to post their opinion in a thread like this should certainly ensure their spelling is right on!!

This has been an entertaining thread...

yeah, i find spelling and grammatical errors annoying...on an internet forum, not so much.

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

thats no fair using a modern dictionary. Just goes to show how lazy our language is getting when we have to add Overdo to the dictionary instead of just using Over do. Only been in there for 5 years according to the reference. All because some receptionist wants to save one key stroke

Impressive. But language is an evolving medium. I suppose if we get everyone saying "Figi", they'll make it an alternative spelling...
