Firefox 2.0 will actually spell check what you type in, so it's almost impossible to be wrong. Try using that spelling fan boys!

For example it just corrected actually, impossible and fan boys (space in between, who knew?)

All the spell checker programs in the world can't help you if you skipped your sixth grade spelling tests to go smoke drugs behind the equipment shack or other applicable building located on school property.

And I'm pretty sure some people who've wandered through here did just that...

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Spell checker won't fix syntax problems like "your" instead of "you're", etc.

That's a matter of common sense right there. For God's sake, I learned about the different "there" forms when I was in like second grade.

There = Referring to a place
Their = Possessive, plural or with use of pronoun
They're = Compound of "they" and "are"

Pretty simple if you ask me.

(Oh, and never use and to start off!)

I'm sorry! I'm not really a member of the Grammar Police! :(

In my oppinion, I think people that complain about grammar on a forum don't actually care about grammar, but just say it because they have nothing better to do. Who cares? It is on the internet, nobody complains when you make mistakes, and I am pretty sure if someone says "Your" as oppose to "You're", that doesn't mean they smoke, eat, or inject any type of drug.

The worst thing is when there is an arguement, and someone has totally lost, and their point has been beaten, then they say: "Yeah I can't understand idiots who T@lK liek DIs! roflolmfao!!!oneone11111"

Minor spelling and grammar mistakes aren't something to flame about. When it looks like someone wrote their post on a damn cell phone, then there's reason to complain.

According to other people's signatures, 98% of America has tried or is addicted to marijuana. If you are part of the 95% of the people who don't live in America, then add this to your signature.

Grammar, pronunciation and spelling are important. Otherwise, what you say is hard to understand and may be misinterpreted. It just makes everything easier alll round. Of course, a few mistakes don't matter but something like this...

The funny part about this, is if I were to "text" my posts.... you wouldn't be able to tell any difference. I text complete words and sentences... unless im in a SUPER rush

You typed the words right out of my fingers. I don't care if a person has perfect grammar or not. I just don't want them to -blam!- the English language. I make mistakes too. But if somebody can't use the shift key and tipes liek dis cuz dey tink "iam keewl if i talk liek a retart" then we have a problem.

Oh, and you want to know something worse than saying "Yeah I can't understand idiots who T@lK liek DIs! roflolmfao!!!oneone11111", Nessy? When some pathetic loser has lost an argument and they say, "well @ leest im not a nurd who posts on 4-m's all dai and chat cuz ihaev nuttin better 2 do!!!1 ur proz a geek in RL i can beet u up!!!!"

I don't spellcheck my posts, but I try to do them right the first time so that people can actually understand what I'm saying.

Why even be at a forum if yuo don't come up with your own ideas and opinions? gtfo....whatever that means?

Anyway, this topic has nothing to do with halo pc. Or halo 2 vista.

I do. It doesn't mean your opinions can't be the same as others, though.

I second that. If I see a kid who can't type for crud, along with a kid you just described, I'd actually give the first guy a cookie for at least leaving my bad temper alone. I would so rip out the second kid's (the one MK described) eyes and force him to eat it. Sorry if that was graphic or unnessacery(sp?) description. Just telling the good old truth.

See, that's what I mean when I say you tend to show some... malice... towards others. I might flame someone for their stupidity, or their ignorance, but I'd never say I'd cause physical harm to them...

Its a matter of courtesy. You don't have the time to type proper English for me, I don't have the time to be nice to you.
