so i feel kinda stupid getting so pissed off at petty shit like this. i mean, i'm not so hot at spelling, but only when it comes to certain words that i'm not using a lot. i spend a lot of time in the paladin folder on the play.net boards, and this person has been posting a little while and every time i see his name, it makes me want to scream, because i know what i'll have to deal with. here are a few examples


carneym4 -

hello i was wondering why we have yet to get a responce on this spell? Its what 12 days late? i would just like to know what helps it i do not care how long it takes just as long as i can properly train for it. after all its a mass attack spell so its very emportend that we know what helps and what hurts. Thanks i'm not griping just geting nervis i have 6 days left till my migration stops.

whin i was yung mt teacher sed son i se you going some were in life.
I sed rilly?!
she sed yes detention!

another fine example

hello i think we should have more combat spells that deel greater damig with the lors.
i think that if we need to train in the lors we should get a spell that can do increest damig with the lors we have


so am i just crazy for letting this bug me? i feel like i'm reading some cryptic form of english sometimes going through these posts. this kind of stuff bug anyone else like it does me?

MAYBE HE HAD TOO MANY SNACKPACK PUDDINGS AND NOW HE IS TYPING HIGH.

[hectomaner]

[Bobmuhthol]

The only thing I can think of is that he's like 8.

[Some Rogue]

or French

[Amaron]

Looks like maybe english is a second language.

My guess is it's someone young. Reading both of those posts and the way they're worded - it doesn't seem to me like it's someone who doesn't know the language.

They know the language, know the words they want to use, just don't know how to spell/punctuate/use apostrophes.

Dar, Alorg, Sade and myself were grouped with this hunter the other night in WoW and he talked much like that. I swear, if we could attack our own, I would have killed him.

WATE! I C A ROGE!

[Bobmuhthol]

No Frenchman is going to say
whin i was yung mt teacher sed son i se you going some were in life.
I sed rilly?!
she sed yes detention! ever.

[Mistomeer]

hehe, yeah i RARELY use the shift key ;)

He might be typing that way on purpose. The way he messes up words which sound similar are different.

"increest" and "deel" vs. "teacher". Both have the ē sound yet he typed them differently. He also spelled "Detention" correctly. Following his typing style, he should have spelled it, "detenshun".

From his two posts, his grammar seems to progressively get worse, he is most likely faking it.

I don't think anyone can play a text-based game and suck that bad at English.

[Warriorbird]

If it is who I think it is, he's 2 years older than Bob.

[hectomaner]

laccon?

[DCSL]

No, you're not the only one. I usually refrain from saying anything about it to keep from getting into pointless arguments, but I can't stand it. It gives me a tiny twitch at the edge of my left eyelid. If he's doing that on purpose, he should be beaten by the She-Hulk with a Hummer like Captain America.

Butchered my own message, I give up.

He honestly might be dyslexic its possible.

[Itachi]

He's not jumbling the correct letters though, he's just using the wrong ones. I'm going with MrFeatures theory.
