i think this board need a grammer/spelling forum. it really seems to bother some of you.

Spade

I could give a **** about grammer....it's the god damn spelling of the word.

SkyDaver

Too many people don't bother review what they've typed.

Hey, if you can't take the time to make sure you've written something correctly, including spelling, why should I think that it's worth reading?

(But don't forget the USENET rule ... spelling flames almost always contain a spelling mistake )

integRated109

hahaha, i did it too, but then again, i was just making fun of the post, not trying to prove any points.

However getting into the habit of typing correct spelling will help alot when you want to get a job where typing is involved, so you wont turn in a paper to your boss that looks like this,
