But no ones doing that, or only a tiny few. It's like you've become so paranoid and obsessed that you are trying to be 'changed' that you've spun it all out of proportion. People make spelling mistakes, it's one of those little things but there is no need to bring up people on every single one!
Yes. Yes there is a need. This is how things ARE. There is your definition of politeness, which is not currently in effect on MATY. The norms of behaviour here dictate that we do not tolerate sheep, tardn00bs, and those who otherwise annoy us. Poor spelling and grammar annoys us. Actually, rather a lot of things, defined and undefined, annoy us. This is the way we like it. If one starts making exceptions for one or two n00bs (Oh, she's just new, young, stupid, whatever...) then we have started down the slippery slope into the mediocre world of happy happy forums, and that would be bad for MOAR FIGHT. So, as you can see, it is very important to spork every instance whenever possible and lulzy.

So what reaction would you give your child (if you have/had one), say a teenager who had accidently spelled something wrong. If you told them how to spell it properly you wouldn't use any of the language that people use in here. My only point is that on forums where you get people from everywhere, you are going to get mistakes, some people are just excited about getting a point across or something so rush the message. When you read over it, it really doesn't matter if 'their' or 'there' is round the wrong way. It's the content that should be important. But even if you can't help but get bothered by it, there's different ways of going about it. That's all

Hey fuck-knuckle - this is a board designed for 18s, not 12s. Fact of the matter is these tards are *NOT* our children; we don't *HAVE* to hold their hand and tell them they shouldn't lick windows and eat paste. We don't *HAVE* to be nice here. To go back to the analogy from earlier, this is our house and it's our rules - if we want to beat you like a red headed stepchild while you're under our roof, no one can stop us.

Well you turned out to be a wondeful person didn't you. I just think all this is such a shame.

SC, you obviously didn't bother to read much of this forum, did you? Else you'd know it doesn't do polite...if by 'polite' you mean "treacly false welcome topped with passive-aggressive requests and iced with fake smileys when what you really want is to kick those annoying buggers to hell". Your comparison is stupid, because one's own kid <>random annoying douche on the 'net. As for it "doesn't matter if 'their' or 'there'", well...it's good you're in animal edumacation, not people. Although I bet puppies trained by you pee everywhere and on everything, what with your attitude.
P.S.: Oh, I just now noticed your sig is bracketed with ~s. This makes anything you say null and void by default.
