Oookay, Someone back me up here, or hold me back, either is fine but I am about to maul the hell out of Infernal if he DOES NOT LEARN TO SPELL OUTSIDE OF LEET!  >:( Stay off the chatrooms and out of IM's if it'll help just dear god it's driving me crazy!  ::)

erm... Tell me please the definition of leet...

Did I replace any letters with there number equivilent? No I don't think so, but if you meen I was not typing in perfect grammar (Which is in no way called leet) then you are correct. I don't go to chat rooms because those are for people with no lives, but I do talk on IM, most of us do so I don't see how thats wroung can't I talk to my friends on aim?

Leaving out apostrophies, misspelling word, shortening words, not using proper punctuation. these things mean you spend too much time in IM's  ::)  >:(

I'm guilty of this too. Personally, it doesn't bother me. If it bothers you, don't read his posts. There's no need to get angry, or hostile. (This thread's come very close to getting locked by the way.. I don't like to see this much hostility... especially when, to me, there's no good reason for it.)

I'm not yelling, or anything, but frankly, I'd rather see people mispelling things, instead of getting hostile. Just a preference. Oh, and since I'm a mod (and owner of all things GNE) my preference kinda matters.  8) ;) :D

Heh.

Note to all: The Grammar Nazi is wearing hot pink.

I'd correct some of the grammar I've seen here, but why bother?

Whomever let you roam will, perchance, excuse my rudeness in beating them over the head with a shovel; or so I suspect.

Heh, I just prefer for people who understand it to type IM style, it's less letters. The way I am currently typing I type maybe 90-100 WPM, but with IM lingo I type around 130 WPM it's just faster....

Perhaps in a chat room, sure.  But keep it off the boards.  These boards post at one speed, whether you typed it at 40 WPM or 198 WPM.

Hey morgul . . . it's "whoever" not "whomever".  Who is a subject.  Whom is an object.

If something performs an action, it is a who.  If it is performed to, it is a whom.

Who gave that to whom?

Not too hard to get.

Yup - and what's his face from Tekken replaces Link in PS2. 

Personally, I like Spawn with that badass spiky "I'm going to screw you up now" mace/axe/sword thing.
