Re: Posts Should Be Legible!!
Okay fish bro..."declarative". I never use spellcheck instead relying on my OF memory banks. I did consider the right spelling before using the wrong, but then that's what OF memory reliance is all about, eh ?

Re: Posts Should Be Legible!!
(I think u'll find it's spelt "declarative"...lol... u know who u are...)
I am the kind of person who peppers my communiques with txt msg type- all those who are internet savvy should be able to interp. these comments...I do not use these small shorthand forms because I am a moron- I do it for the sake of convienience- it is much easier to write "u" than "you" when fingers are flying trying to define things, opine about things, refine things... studies recently have shown that rather than these txt typers be less literate, they are generally more so- they have better vocabularies and are more creative than writers who find it all has to be "just so"... for the sake of the anally retentive I will try to hunt down the abstracts and titles and link them, but don't hold ur breath... I have a problem with vowel combinations- you will often see me write "becuase" rather than "because", but that is due firstly to my poor typing skills, and secondly because I have previously not found it necessary to edit my posts for such trivial spelling mistakes as I did not realise my posts where judged on tense and punctuation in such a fashion... I do admit, however, that I notice when ppl are poor spellers and bad punctuators, and that often causes me to place less merit in their opinions, although intellectually I know this is wrong, especially on an international forum where ppl may not have English as their first language... I would much prefer to struggle though a badly spelt but heartfelt message than wade through the ill-contrived yet pleasantly punctuated verbiage of the intelligensia... but maybe that's just me... |

Does this mean that you place less merit in your own posts then? Yours, Anally Retentive. |

Re: Posts Should Be Legible!!
Ya know there are plenty of people out there that will look for spelling and punctuation mistakes, they enjoy finding these errors. I for one would hate to disappoint these people, and are so appreciative of others who show concern for their psyche as well.
