Hahaha! In LA, if you ask my teacher how to spell a word this is her response. "D-I-C-T-I-O-N-A-R-Y." xD It's really funny when people write it down then look confused.



My language arts teacher did that, too. Last year, this kid Alan actually wrote the whole word, and then he went up and told the teacher 'That doesn't look right!' I was trying (and failing) to contain my laughter.

Those with weak stomachs shouldn't look... >_>

And do I PM Greenie the paragraph or can I post it here? (Sorry if I missed it...)

That person was clearly a...Tick. Erf... I just wanted to lug that person with a base ball bat. They didn't do a very good job with that post.

I got angry, but got distracted by "Sherman has a Balloon". =3 (I will be gone from five tonight to Sunday with no internet access other than a DSi, so don't expect more than one or two posts from me. Blech, why must DSi internet connection be so slow? (If there is any connection at all at the hotel...there better be. o_o)

*Urgh!!

I just found someone who's posts Look Like This, the beginning of every word capitalized, and they write in single really large paragraphs. It's just really annoying to try to read. It looks like a hyper Jigglypuff wrote it...

    ... I think I've found my niche. :'3

    Username: Agent Chess

    Nickname: Chess, if you insist~

    Why you want to join: Chat-Speak, the horror that seems to heavily influence new members of the forum. I despise it, why throw away a perfectly good language for un-intelligible rubbish? When I see a post, or any other article, and all I see is incorrect use of the English language, it makes me cringe....

    Anything else? Please tell me if this isn't in the correct place, or if I need to edit it in any way... Oh, and sorry if my sentences are too wordy, I tend to over-word such things... ^^''

Wow, that's really annoying. I'm leaving soon, no!

(Accepted! It's okay, as long as you use proper grammar it's fine! I really want to slap the person who made up Chat speak.)

I like Agent, but if it's Chess you like ;)

I tend to over-word as well (my trade rules are a prime example). I wonder if anyone can help me cut them down without losing any of the actual rules...?

I know, did you see my old trade rules? Yeesh, talk about too much talking. So, I shortened them and added more pictures! =3 Because everyone likes pictures! My art shop is way over-worded and lengthy. Nyeh..*too lazy to edit*

    Well, I'm known as Chess on other websites, so I'm used to being called Chess rather than Agent. x3

    With my trade rules, I tried to cut to the point, as most people won't read through a full paragraph explaining one rule. xD I'll have to see your trade rules if I'm to be of any help.... -looks up said rules-

    Pictures would really mess up my focus, my trade ruled are basically designed for the benefit of myself. xD -is bad with writing rules-

Bad grammar alert...*Breaks out the handcuffs*
I know, my trade rules...I add one every time someone really ticks me off.

Me too! I'm always adding and adding and adding, yet people will still find a new way to be stupid. My rules are crazy, and I wouldn't even bother trading with me unless I had an easy perfect trade that's unlikely to be cancelled. I gave up on looking for trades a while ago, so now I just let the trades come to me.

~RZZ

(Oh and I just went in and fixed my rules up a little, but seriously I don't know how else to cut them. I even use a bit of colour to try and make things easier...)
