Dethaw, etc...

[kah]

I swear to God! If I hear dethaw instead of thaw, old-timer's instead of alzheimer's, or see congratulations spelled with a "d" one more damn time, I am going to kill someone. Or at least kick a puppy. Or not clean out the lint trap in the dryer.

I know Neg's with me on this one.

[DaForce]

Congradulations!!



At least you don't have old-timer's disease.















Yeah....sorry...I couldn't help myself...







:dunno:

[Meathead]

Definatly not funny, but it should dethaw the forums a little bit...

Other violators:

irregardless
orientated/disorientated (a peculiar Britishism that drives me nuts)
and the champ: it's/its and other abuses of apostrophes.

We had a whole thread devoted to homonyms on the old board. If you haven't read "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" yet I highly recommend it.

[DaForce]

Your both right. Its not that hard to use corect spleling and puncuation.


I just think that its just people being two lazy too properlly spell corectlly.






May be i'm wrong about this.

[neglet]

If you want that much spanking, DaForce, you're going to have to pay someone for it. :p

[kah]

No, people are really that stupid. I can't count how many restaurants I have been to where the bathroom door read Mens' Room or Mens Room. I also have a hard time reading the local paper. It's full of run-ons, improper use of apostrophes and commas, and extreme repetition. I've taken out a red pen and made corrections simply for my own sake. I have a sickness, I know.

Um...Kah? I believe that's spelled APOSTROPHES.
There's just one 'a' in the word......just thought I'd let you know.




:D :jump:

Whaaaa??? I'm not unique? Where did you get this other me?

:D :jump:

You're right. I apologize. I think I do pretty well typing with one hand, holding a wriggling 7 month old puke-monster with the other, but I would rather someone correct my mistake than let it go.

Baby, I never have to pay for it.

Cool! You should do that kids parties. Better then clowns.

~sigh~

That's another one- then/than misuse. There/their/they're, too/to/two, where/ware/wear/were, bare/bear- misspelling I can get over. Misuse I have a harder time with.

Kah, you and Negs should start some sort of support group for this psychological twitch you two have...

[kah]

Or someone should find me a job proofreading so I can get paid to sit home and be anal.

Hey! Isn't that what Negs.....









..nevermind......

[neglet]

I'm more writer than editor these days ....

But it is fun sometimes not to have to work hard to come up with all those words, just read someone else's and pick them apart.


Oh. So that's why I spend so much time in here. :D

Jakester's already taken the job. He's a professional.

[KingVoyeur]

Jakester's already taken the job. He's a professional.

No no, be anal, not......nevermind.....

[Meathead]

Yeah...as soon as Jakester is invoked, King Voyeur, best to let it drop...recanting only makes it worse... :D Trust me I know.:o
