| 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 :tongue3 |

| 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. |

...would hate to try and read someone's writing if they had messy handwriting AND couldn't spell!

| For the most part, I find it quicker if I just spell things properly. I don't really mind people using 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.
Cheerz :)

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 |
