I am reading topics on all the boards, but especially this one, since I'm here to help anyone out when- and wherever i can. What i do notice is that i read a lot of spelling errors in the posts, especially in names. I do know that every member is told to reduce the amount of spelling errors in their posts as much as possible, but i wish to underline this:
Please people: Make sure you type things right, so we can all understand what you're talking about for sure. We can guess what's there, and most of the time this is guessed right, but it makes life a lot more easier if you do what i ask. ------------------ I am committed to restore your faith in extreme violence...

Link has made a good point. I would like to point out that many members do not have English as their first language. I know from personal experience when working in a "foreign" language that mispellings can be a nightmare. Take a minute to check your spelling.......it is a considerate thing to do.

Put a w in front of rite (if this was sarcasm, know that it doesn't work that well in a text)
I agree with Link. If you have a problem, we need to understand what is going on so we can help. I like to think that my English is pretty good, but I have a dictionary near the computer just in case Of course, there's nothing you can do about typo's except edit your post when you find them. ------------------ The last arrow of Legolas kindled in the air as it flew, and plunged burning into the heart of a great wolf-chieftain.
