| so, to reiterate, just simple messages correcting the long words people get messed up on. Its the ones where you look at it and you think to yourself "thats an i not an e" at the beginning of a word or something. This helps people not looks like an ass when writing things. I understand that many people take verbal shortcuts and there are acronyms and n/a kind of stuff. so this is for the rare occasion when a TA uses a big word, and then happens to spell it incorrectly. :crazy: |

I really don't have a problem with excessive typos (I believe that's what you are referring too) so long as you can keep them to a minimum.
What I really can't stand are "Net abbreviations" like 'u' (you) and 'ur' (you are). The worse is 'd00d' (dude). I just really find those annoying. |

Yeah that 'd00d' is just soooo naff ... and what's even worse is all that stupid wannabe-a-script-kiddie where people write their names with aLtErNaTe CaPiTaL aNd SmAlL lEtTeRs <--- what the is that, is that supposed to look cool? It's like the emperor's new clothes ... they all do it because someone thought it was cool and it's so ingrained now that no one stands up and says 'hey this looks in PUMP why are we all doing it?'
Oh yeah and when people end all their plurals with the letter 'Z' instead of 'S'. 'Pluralz', like :whip: :rolleyes: :whip: |

I say correct it. Why? Not everyone can understand that garbage that is "'Net Spelling". Plus, it messes up your spelling capabilities. I use UK/world spellings so, my words are usually long and correct to most people around the world, NOT JUST USA (no "color", "center", "organization" it's "colour", "centre", "organisation", etc.).
Speaking of, why does USA have different English from the rest of the world? It only confuses people who don't know English even more. |

Yeah, English is not everyone's mother language here: sometimes it's just too hard to understand what you guys are trying to say (and some other times, we may learn the wrong spelling and use it at school / work / ...).
No, Kr00t0n, you don't need to change your name (even because there's no such word in English, is there?). |
