If the majority votes to correct obvious lack of knowledge on spelling we will do so in a friendly manner. I for one am tired of seeing horribly misspelled words that are not typos. So, we get the vote, we help people learn to spell in English I just dont want to be the only one who is leaving 40 posts saying ...pritee is spelled pretty... et cetera. It will help everyone in the end I think vote if you care

Sorry but i added a Aint fussed option. Personally i dont care, the net is the only place u can type and be different, use z's instead of s's. u have to write correctly 99% of the time when ur away from the pc, in life and work, the net is the one place u can be different and mess about, take that away and everything will slowly just become the same, no matter where you are.

For the most part, I find it quicker if I just spell things properly. I don't really mind people using shit like "u" "4" and all that jazz, but any **** using the 'word' L337 needs a boot upside their arse.

What do you do if you use net spelling because you've been doing so for 4 years?
I started IRCing in 1999, and it's commonplace for one to type kewl instead of cool, simply because it looks nicer.
There's tonnes of stuff like that.
w/e = weekend
yester = yesterday
fank j00 = a cuter way of saying 'thank you'
These and others have been drilled into my brain, and I dont feel the need for exact and perfect speeling of words coz it aint really important.

ps. If this policy were to follow thru, I'd hafta change my nick to crouton wouldn't I?
damnit people read the post. its for things where people are obviously just dumb. Not typos or purposely misspelled words! Net spelling is correct spelling in a sense. Then there is just "Oh ive heard this word before but never seen it written so ill give it a try" that what im talking about. Not every lil thang where peeps are using shortcutz and odd letterz
