What do you think the spelling abilities of the forumers tells us?

[volf]

u should buy him a dictionary lol
and spikes: if u had americans only on the forums u would still get idiots because idiots come from every country

You kind of missed my point, but you are right about that.

So perhaps an iq test should be added to the registry form.

I still don't se bad spelling and grammar as a serious problem, the big problem is attitude not language skills.

[Nethran]

I would even venture so far as to say that 75-80% of all idiots come from this country. Look at our great leader. He's an idiot. That speaks volumes. People ELECTED him. Who? Idiots.

The bastard can't even talk.. I'd hate to be the one to edit any speeches he might, on rare occasion, write himself.

If you're well connected, this just goes to show you can do anything regardless of intellect.

[Aemaeth]

Well, all leaders Are ****ed up, you cant cater for everyone now can you.

Yup, so true... If I could I woulda' voted for Mr. Gore. (I was like... 8 at that time)

[Tichondrius_87]

I'm not arguing or anything, but I think bush walks the fine line between lazy and stupid. allow me to explain:

saying nuke-you-lar instead of nuclear... lazy.
bombing the shite out of another country for 3 years and some change... stupid.
putting "turning/turned the corner" in his speeches over and over and over.... lazy and stupid.

and what's that thing that's been circulating about bush's favorite book being curious george, which didn't come out 'till he was in college? something like that? that... well, that's just stupid.

[TroGdoR]

Wow, this thread has made a turn for the worse. And Kellard, your insulting speech before about Bush makes this belong in flame wars. Back to what Tich said, do you want to know why Bush pronounces "Nuclear" as "Nuke-u-lar"? It's a regional accent. That's correct my friend. So drop that. And you say his speeches are stupid? Well I'm sure you and most people could do a better job because I highly doubt it, and saying you can is making yourself into a pompus a$$. So let us drop this, and go back to the original intent of the thread: well I never agreed with Kellard's intent so I'd rather just move this to flame wars so we can continue this in a manner I'd like to.

[Nethran]

Go to current events to continue this. There's already a political discussion in progress. I was making a comment about stupid people. Bush happened to pop into my head first. I doubt the bastard can spell. That was my point. Now, away whith these politically charged comments.

rofl, holy crap, where'd you get that from?

You... I... you are so dammed stupid. you couldn't be dumber if I replaced your head with a pile of dog feces. Regional accent? You... I... I'm not talking to you. ever. again.

*Mutters something about people needing to be dealt with.*

[Nethran]

Oh, I meant to comment on that. HOW IS SAYING A WORD WRONG A REGIONAL ACCENT?! You, my scaley friend, are what we in the know like to call an imbisile.

I misspell to emphasize. Idiot you is.

[TroGdoR]

haha, go back to grade school Tich. And it's good to see that you couldn't take some time to check out that maybe some southerners mispronounce a word due to their accents. Or some Notherners might do the same thing. If you lived in NY and heard a New Yorker say instead of "coffee" , cawwwfeee, or how Brooklynites pronounce "Brooklyn" hudders" or how Long Islanders prounounce everything quirms: you wouldn't think twice about it. So I think you can definately attribute accents to why people might mispronounce. Because its easier. Now shut up and don't insult my intelligence becuz you haven't seen me do that to you yet. And as for you Kellard, imbecile you freaking tard.

[Nethran]

Don't call me a freaking tard, for one. Look what I wrote two minutes before you posted in order to clear up any confusion I might cause. I know, it's neat, isn't it? Also; I used to live in Georgia. I have family in east Texas. I know southern and Texan accents pretty well. People in Texas say Nuclear and not Nucular. Not unless they're stupid. People in Georgia say Nuclear also(again, unless they're stupid). Don't tell me what I know to be false.

Dad-gum! You obviously haven't traveled the south as much as I have Kelly. But it's ok, if you have so called sophisticates living in the South just because they say "Nuclear" than congrats. How about we all elect a re-incarnated Hitler instead of Bush because Bush is doing everything wrong by mispronouncing a word! Tell me Kell, you feel unsafe right now? Feel like a bad world opinion is going to screw us over? Wanna run away to Canada? Please do, because you might be of some use there, rather then sitting in America at your comp and complaining about the situation without doing anything. And don't give me the I'm only 17 crap. Because I was very active then and still am.

[Fuggle]

God Damn! WTF is this shit... kellard u seriously are a dumbass if you think you know the southern accent. People rarely say nuclear as "nuclear" ****ing dipshit. Kid who thinks hes cool because to him hes always right when in all hes right like 1/10x actually ive never seen him right... and have u not noticed the age of 95% of the people on these forums? Try like 11-13 yr olds who know jack shit about what grammar is. *no offense to those that age* Seriously, you seem to think that people care about typing correctly? They are just getting their point out and doing what needs to be done. It's not like they try to say help and type mwogfchsk. It's understandable and thats all that matters. Silly kellard ****s are for chicks.

Hey, take that to "fLaMeS!22!@!" That's a good way to get in trouble.

And most people in the US say Nucular as opposed to Nuclear. It doesn't make it right. Also, Trogdor, I lived in Georgia for years. YEARS. From the 3rd grade through the seventh. People who aren't stupid say nuclear. Saying it correctly doesn't make them "sophisitacates." Pronouncing the sound "lee" as "yule" isn't an accent thing. Ask one of your southern friends "What's the name of the most famous martial artist in the word (though he is now deceased)?" If they say Bruce Yule then you're right. I bet they won't. Go try it.

Thanks for proving me right guys,, the few posts above shows a good example of what I am talking about..

Problems with forums.
1. people going completely off topic,, last time I checked this site had private messages enabled
2. people resorting to flaming (real bad voodoo: discourages people who really like to discuss the subject to post)
3. spamming,, in this thread associated with 1. and 2 (going off topic and arguing in public to increase post count)

Bad spelling isn't even in the top 10 :confused:

[dim_sum]

Wow this has been interesting to read. I wish I was here earlier to put my word. From my point of view, both of you are partially correct about the overall spelling quality that people are producing but when it comes down to it, the two of you are both right and wrong at certain aspects of which you discussed. Anyway, I think that this escapade has ranted on for more than it's Dollar thus, end.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urnchemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

tf is that? And if you're going to comment at all, either keep it on topic or go with what's happening when you read the thread. Your comment was not only not necessary, but not wanted. Thank you, and a'good day.

And you turned my text all black. Thanks a lot.

[elterion]

Duz it reelee mattur how sum1 speels?

[Nethran]

Yes. And that's been done before, the puroseful misspelling. It's old.
