i'm pleasantly surprised with this board. i'm a longtime member of the "other" board and maybe i've had 4 posts in the last 3 yrs. due to reasons mentioned earlier.

Did you read the topic?  Use the shift button, it's not that hard.

I'm just a punctuation/grammar/spelling freak.  If nobody else cares, I'll let it go.

Oh, and jem: it's egregious.  Just saying  ;)

Wow...when we tighten up we REALLY tighten up...

Grammar would be the 4th or 5th thing in line to fix on the "other" board! :D

Crap, i tried to get it all correct in the spelling.  I'm not a stickler on getting its and it's wrong, I still sometimes do that and at least it's the right word, but loose/lose to/too the 'of/have' thing drive me crazy cause that's different to me, that's lazy internet corruption of the english language and people writing how things sound instead of (or is it have?) taking the time to think for an 1/8 of a second :)

The problem is I think it would take many of them MUCH longer than 1/8 of a second man...

I do agree that "hey guyz whut do you think of my tradez lolz" is annoying.  But I don't want someone proofreading their posts eight times just so the grammar police doesn't lay into them.

Ducky should steer clear of any posts from "Knux Future". Is that guy/kid a member of this board?

Consider it the screening process...if it takes longer than 1/8 of a second to realize it's have instead of of - it means you can't pass 4th grade english and post here :)

Oh yeah - anyone who posts a ridiculous trade becuase it works on the trade checker should be killed - god i hate that thing :)

And anyone who trumps one opinion with another, but states it as fact! That just kills threads

I agree- and would love to see Knux migate from the dark side.  His game recapz have sometime single handed cured me of being pissed off after a frustrating loss.  The kid has talent.

BTW- I am completely dependent on a spell checker.  At home on Firefox I am fine.  Here at work my spelling and typos are horrible.  Sorry.

It only kills threads if there's no reasoning backing up either side.  You can't argue if there's nothing to argue against.

Oh and jem: I'll keep my trade ideas to the philaphans board then  ;D
