Congratulations, you've made yourself look even more ridiculous. You must have something wrong with you if you forget what the post was about because you have to 'decipher' it. If you think your too superior to read somebodies post that isn't spelt correctly, then maybe you shouldn't be on a public forum?

To my knowledge, the public consists of many people... Who speak many languages. It's going to be damn difficult for someone to come in here who has English as their second language to find something they don't understand.

I like international forums, they enforce good grammar. It won't do you any harm.

A fool is someone who slaughters English. That's an opinion, a written opinion on the internet. It's obviously not valued around here, people have a 'real world' to get to where they save their real language.

You'll get sloppy and you'll start writing it in school if you're that stupid to keep up the habit on the internet.

It takes more work reading a sentence without spaces. That's a fact. I don't want to make my life extremely long and painful reading someone being lazy to make theirs go a little faster.

Obviously neither side will convince the other...but it's fun nonetheless.

I know a few people who have converted from txt tlk to proper speech. Never the other way around.

Edit: Celeste...when was the last time you thought yourself inferior, and defended it?

mcl · 04-21-2008, 12:54 AM

well im sure there is a spanish version of wiichat

surfinrach90 · 04-21-2008, 12:54 AM

It's not the superiority in the debate though, it's the 'I'm superior to you because I can spell and you can't.'

Exactly, the public consists of many people. They all type differently, even if it isn't to your standard but it doesn't make their opinions any less meaningful.

Brawny · 04-21-2008, 12:56 AM

Wiichatear? XD

No, everyone can spell. Hence the "I'm not at school" routine.

We're debating the choice to spell or not.

Frogger · 04-21-2008, 12:56 AM

Spelling gives you intellect points and shows you actually care about the matter at hand! That's just the way I see it.

I'm sorry, I missed the part where I said everyone couldn't spell?

mcl · 04-21-2008, 01:04 AM

every one can spell just not every single word in the world

No one can go beyond their active vocabulary. We're not asking you to.

surfinrach90 · 04-21-2008, 01:09 AM

I'm still not seeing the part where I said everyone couldn't spell.

Frogger · 04-21-2008, 01:09 AM

I love how you're slowly improving your grammar every time you post, mcl. Even if you don't notice it, you know we're right. You're probably going to go out of your way to prove us wrong now, shame.

mcl · 04-21-2008, 01:12 AM

Here is the condensed paraphrased version for you.

Rach: It's not the superiority in the debate though, it's the 'I'm superior to you because I can spell and you can't.'

Adam: That is not what we think. We KNOW you can spell just fine, you just choose not to. I am superior to you because I take into account The people you are trying to convince. (this has stopped being towards Rach anyway.) Whether you're trying to convince someone that you have the better opinion, 10 times out of 10, the same words, said with proper grammar rather than text speak, will get the point across better.
