FOFreak Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 There is a rule in the forums rules that says that we must check our spelling before posting. It also says that we must be sure to use correct grammar, spelling, and puntuation. I for one think that this is a stupid rule and has no usefulness at all to KICentral.
Beast1979 Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 You know what? This isn't AIM. Come on. You know how to use proper spelling and grammar, and you might as well show you have been through 3 years of English. Not only does it make you seem more smart, but it makes it SO much easier for people who are not AIM savy to understand what you are trying to say. This is a very, very smart and usefull rule. Period.
Phantom Theater Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Not for me.Their are some post that yo cant even read,they have such bad grammar. Such as one of your own post, "Thx, 4 de hezs up! In caze sum of us goes 4 de Haunght in Octumber. "
FOFreak Posted September 21, 2008 Author Posted September 21, 2008 Don't tell me that didn't get a few chuckles! You can still tell what it means.

FOFreak Posted September 21, 2008 Author Posted September 21, 2008 "Thanks for the heads up, in case some of us go to the haunt in October."
Beast1979 Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 "Thanks for the heads up, in case some of us go to the haunt in October." Was that so hard?
FOFreak Posted September 21, 2008 Author Posted September 21, 2008 No, but it's really fun to spell like a 5 year old, seriously try it! One of them even landed on someones signature.
Phantom Theater Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 No, but it's really fun to spell like a 5 year old, seriously try it! One of them even landed on someones signature. Yeah,and when everyone does,then the mods will start to get mad.
FOFreak Posted September 21, 2008 Author Posted September 21, 2008 Huh? I don't know what your talking about!
Phantom Theater Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Huh? I don't know what your talking about! Yes you do!
Guest rcfreak339 Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Ok! This is such a a stupid topic! We are not on AIM, we are not on Myspace or facebook, and we are not texting! So if you don't want to follow the forum rules then just get off! The staff of KIC want the forum to look good and not like a cell phone inbox! So please just spell right...It makes you look really lazy.
cassie_KY Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Good spelling and grammar never go out of style. I despise the posts with poor spelling. It takes less then three seconds to make sure you have spelled everything correctly and that it makes sense. Granted, I am NOT talking about the occasional spelling error. Those happen. I don't think I really need to elaborate on the difference here. Granted, I am an English teacher's daughter, but this trend of not correcting spelling and phasing out how to write in cursive is ridiculous. Who would take writing like that seriously? Bodes badly for our futire. Somewhere, I know my mom is smiling!
JAHill Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 No, but it's really fun to spell like a 5 year old, seriously try it! One of them even landed on someones signature. Are you reffering to BEAST1979's former signature of zl42's post about Diamondback opening in August and filling them in on 'anymor infurmation'. If so, do you realize that was to mock them?
Beast1979 Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 No, but it's really fun to spell like a 5 year old, seriously try it! One of them even landed on someones signature. You Just don't get it! There are a lot of fun things in this world that are not allowed for a reason, ie Joyriding, Streaking, ect.... There is a reason people spell normally. And by the way, the quote that was in someone signature was not good in your perspective. When quotes are in Signatures it's usually insultive.
TOPGUN1993 Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 The way you spell shows alot about what people think about you... esp online.
Phantom Theater Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 The way you spell shows alot about what people think about you... esp online. I Agree!
FOFreak Posted September 21, 2008 Author Posted September 21, 2008 Does anybody know how to erase a topic?
Beast1979 Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Does anybody know how to erase a topic? Just ask Dane or Boddah, I'm sure both of them would be glad to erase this topic. (Holding back rude insult as hard as I can!)

masonguy21 Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Not only does it make you seem more smart, but it makes it SO much easier for people who are not AIM savy to understand what you are trying to say. This is a very, very smart and usefull rule. Period. If your going to be the advocate of proper grammer you may want to check yours. It might make you sound smarter. But seriously, as long as we get the point who really cares.
Beast1979 Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 ^It took that long for someone to notice? Darn, next time I should make it easier to see.

I know from experience that the mods on this site are very nice people, but they will provide any punishment neccesary to have you learn your lesson. Mods, take him from here.
Erosarrow05 Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Punishment!!!! LOL "mom I just was punished from a website"
UncleHenry Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Of course, this topic was started by a guy with "Will Koch 4 president!" as his signature. Can we overturn his membership instead of that rule?
FOFreak Posted September 21, 2008 Author Posted September 21, 2008 Will Koch is better then the president we have right now! Tee Hee, I made a joke!
