While I agree with 90 per cent 0f JRock's comments, I'm inclined to be a little more lenient of the correct spelling requirement. As long as I can understand what someone is trying to say, I'll overlook the way they say it. Too much editing can kill the spontaneity of a conversation, typing or speaking. As for the "I agree" or other one or two word posts, they're just closer to that persons' conversational style. While I agree that it gets tedious and repetitive to scroll through page after page of this, I try to remember that this site is different things to different people.First and foremost, it's supposed to be fun. I think it's asking too much for every post to be a well thought-out, witty, or even entertaining endeavor. Sometimes it takes alot of sifting to find an interesting post or comment, it's even harder now that we can't seem to access all of one persons' posts like before. The bottom line for me is this: It's just pissing in the wind to try to change this, so it's just a mater of gritting your teeth and soldiering on.

yes i agree but some times when you are on a thread and you post a comment you post one or two words then after you get done you think of something else you could of added . but we are all guilty of doing it one time or another and if it it dont bother the ones you are chating to it shouldnt matter.bye the way this is hot mama's hubbie i hope this makes sence???

You're right, sometimes you're conversing with just the people who happen to be logged onto that thread right then, other times, it's more for everyone to read. I can't see a way or a reason to seperate the two.

1) The "T" in "this" should be capitalized, and the "edit" button is an icon or command.

2) When refering to yourself, the "i" should be capitalized.

3) I rest my case.

You need to be able to go with the flow and that really may depend on how the conversation is going!! It may only need a

or a

:2thumbsup:

or one or two of the many others that are available. Editing is ok if there aren't too many on, but if there are quite a few of you then forget it!!! They'll understand if you made a spelling error!!

No, but I can't figure out why the smiley face kept coming up instead of "B". Is it doing it to your posts? Like I said, mostly I agree with JRock and Bondi, but I don't want to bust on anybody for their spelling.

Hope that isn't fighting talk!!!

Some have problems with their written english and some don't, we have to understand that what ever is written is done to the best of our ability!

I kept editing it, putting the "B" in and kept getting a smiley. WTF? Maybe I should have used George Carlin's metheod: A,2,C.

Never has a truer sentence been typed on this wonderful site.

I agree with what you say closeup, I am guilty of the occasional grammar slip up so I can overlook that. I am also not trying to 'bust people's balls' over this topic. I simply think that one on one conversations should be kept to the thread of one of the two individuals in the conversation, or to use the PM tool. If you think of something to add after you have posted, use the 'Edit' feature, it works a treat.

I also have no problem with people getting of track with their comments, lord knows I do it, as long as it is general flow of the conversations at hand.

Anyway, these thoughts are my 2 cents and I just think using these guidelines would make these boards easy to enjoy for ALL users

grammar slip ups are allowed, us guys can't look at pix and watch these girls at the same time.
one on one conflabs should stay on their respective threads so the rest of us don't get confused to where a particular thread is going.
bondi i do agree with you and closeup.

Holy FUCK!!!!!!

GANG Lightenup!!!! I am embarrassed that I caused this!!!! My reason for this post was just to try to keep threads on topic because the site was growing so fast that it was getting difficult to get through everything any more!!!

Now, I dont even bother trying. I'll just jump into threads that Im following and ignore the rest. It sucks cause I know Im prolly missin some really good shit but Oh WELL!!!

AS for spelling and grammer and everything else.....as long as I can get the jist of someone's point....WHO THE FUCK CARES!!!!

Although I will say the mixed lower and upper case ebonics style shit is grating on the nerves....

Jrock....im sure Im just chock full of errors with this, but you know what? Oh well.....
