Re: Off Topic
Those hyphens are not correct; they should be n-dashes or m-dashes, but I forget which one's which and I don't know how to type either of them.PluMGMK wrote:I'll agree too. This has been going on for - what - two months?

Spiral, we're aware that you're perfect in every way, you don't have to criticize every post you encounter. ^^

Re: Off Topic
Wwwhhh I pass over most faulty posts and only criticize a very small percentage of such posts I encounter and only when I deem a mistake to be extrordinarily stupid such as Sean or quite interesting as was the case here. You may or may not have noticed that I have quietly passed over every mistake you have made here, such as spelling 'deleted' with an 'a', or combining phrases into single words (e.g., 'a lot' ―> 'alot'). These mistakes didn't interest me enough...Acarr wrote:Spiral, we're aware that you're perfect in every way but you don't have to criticize every post you encounter

Yeah, like when you used to preach to him how American spellings should never have been implemented into the orphography of English language. Despite this, I can spot an American spelling in this very quote!spiraldoor wrote:Wwwhhh I pass over most faulty posts and only criticize a very small percentage of such posts I encounter and only when I deem a mistake to be extrordinarily stupid such as Sean
Re: Off Topic
Sorry =( Can't help my curiousity. But is asking about something the same as discussing it?Acarr wrote:Noo, don't discuss dashes!

Re: Off Topic
iT WAS aCARR'S FAULT for using that dreadful misspelling in the post I was quoting. It unbalanced my mind and fucked up my regionally-correct spelling. I must have been distracted by a passing thought of the word 'citizen' to let that slip under the radar, and now I feel like shit.Xenon wrote:Yeah, like when you used to preach to him how American spellings should never have been implemented into the orphography of English language.

I seem to have also noticed your inaccuracy with capital letters.
