wickedphantom, we know you are a sane Wicked fan...you do not have to keep pointing out these things about the other Wicked fans...or people will not like you either.

Unfortunately Wicked,

In today's society, good spelling and grammar is getting so extinct it will be soon in Jurasic Park.

I hate the trend as well, but you can't stop "Progress". . .

Progress...I love the word. I have to write an essay about it for history this weekend. Everything I read, I can't help thinking that it might have been better if we had just stayed cave people.

Mary_Ethel I have nothing but respect for you and love your presence on the board, so don't take this personally. But in the interest of irony, can you spot the 1 spelling error and 1 grammar error in your sentence?

I would LOVE to have seen shows like MY FAIR LADY performed in Caves!

Getting Eliza to speak "proper neanderthal" would have been a hoot!

I totally feel the same way! I'm only a high school freshman, and I get so annoyed when my friends type like that. And they tease me because sometimes I accidentally put periods after typing "haha"

I get lost, unless, of course, I'm getting found.

JURASSIC.

Sentence SHOULD read:

"In today's society, good spelling and grammar has became so extinct it will soon be in Jurassic Park."

Better, Matt?

THANKS for being my proofreader! :)

When I am having a conversation through IMs, I don't concentrate on spelling and grammar. I use all of the things that most of us complain about on the board. Yet I see a difference between a message board, where once you post it is virtually permanent, and an instant message, where a friend is reading and once it is read it is probably not looked at again! Plus I get lazy...

When I see people misspelling things, I occasionally PM them and let them know so that they can fix their mistakes before someone jumps on them on the board.

But there are 3 posters on here that I don't even bother with.
I'd be PMing them 20 times a day.
There's just no point.

Speaking of Jurassic Park and "progress", one of my favorite quotes:
"What you call discovery, I call the rape of the natural world."

Word. Word, indeed.

Wolf,

What about:

"Disneyland had a few problems when it first opened too."

"C'mon, the Pirates in the Carribean didn't EAT anybody!" :)

"When Disneyland opened, nothing worked."
"Yeah, but John, if Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down the pirates don't EAT the tourists!"
One of my favorite movies. I geek out with movie quotes, so my apologies for the nerdy anal correction.

What about:
"So what do you think?"
"I think we're out of a job."
"Don't you mean 'extinct'?"
or
"Now THAT is one big pile of sh!t."

Word. Word, indeed.

Tiff, I thought that was MY particular talent. Accidental thread assassination.

You are all giving me such comfort--I was feeling like a lone gunman in the thread assassination department.

(Or to follow the thread's topic: OMG, you guyyyzzz, me 2!!lol)

JURASSIC.
Sentence SHOULD read:
"In today's society, good spelling and grammar has became so extinct it will soon be in Jurassic Park."

It's still wrong. "Has became" is not proper english. You can say 'has become' and you can also say 'is'.
...grammar has become so extinct...
...grammar is so extinct...

As far as misspellings are concerned, sometimes people are a little too eager to post that they don't proof their postings and sometimes people don't know better.
With concern to using other symbols for words which I think this thread is about, we live in a growing age of sms/text messaging with a spelling method of its own and I think that method has carried over into standard writing.

Thank you so much Fair. You are such a "Bewitching" HUSSY! -(DAME 12/2)
