Please learn to spell correctly. A few examples:
Don't say "right" when you meant "write"
Don't say "sell" when you meant "cell"
Don't say "will" when you meant "we'll"
Don't say "orginize" when you meant "organize"
Don't say "speek" when you meant "speak"
Don't say "no" when you meant "know"
Don't say "sight" when you meant "site"
etc... etc... etc...
And change as necessary for British English...

And use proper grammar and sentence structure:
Don't say "Not a airplane" when you meant "Not an airplane"
Don't say "I dont know" when you meant "I don't know"
Don't say "I would of..." when you meant "I would have..."
etc... etc... etc...
And change as necessary for British English...

Please and thank you.

Amen, dude, except for the part about apostrophes. It takes me way too long to find that freaking thing. Its just one of those bad habits that Word teaches you.


I really hate abbreviations as well...

However, there are those on the forums who are not so gifted with nit-picky tendencies like correct grammer. We must not get too mad at them if it is a natural thing... BUT!!! They can still put in the effort to make their postings decipherable. And for those who are capable of typing correctly but do not, [color=red]-blam!- YOU!!!!! -blam!- -blam!- -blam!-S!!!!!! -blam!- MY -blam!- -blam!- YOU -blam!-S!!!!!!![/color]

I'm sorry about that. Now, type correctly, dammit.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

Some other things.

Don't say "u" for "you"
Don't say "r" for "are"
At least make an attempt at capitilizing "I's"
Use correct punctuation. A-like so...

Instead of
"Frankie the content monkey for bungie forums is cool"

try

"Frankie, the Content Monkey for Bungie's forums, is cool."

You would be amazed at how much better peoples impressions of you are.

Is it C4 or anthrax? I prefer the latter.
