USMCBillsFan Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 One thing that does crack me up though is when people spell offense and defense like this...... offence, defence..... I guess they get confused when they see the little picket fences in the crowd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I've wondered why some spell "none" as "noone". Perhaps it is a result of phonics. I saw a bumper sticker that read, R U HUKED ON FONIX? I hate it when "-wise" is attached to a word, as in "That is incorrect, grammar-wise".

LabattBlue Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I always try to go back and correct any grammar/spelling errors in my posts. I swear that I'm getting worse not better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantrules Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Good spelling tends to get more respect here than poor spelling. So, to say that we don't care about spelling isn't the full truth. I know my spelling has improved a TON since I started visiting these pages. For example I now know "psyched" is not spelled siked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfanone Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 You're an idiot!!!!!!!! I couldn't resist!! I have to admit that sometimes I just want to reply to a post and make the grammatical corrections. I'm not a teacher or anything relatively close but the proper use of the English language is something I've always been fond of. 39422[/snapback] Tisk tist tisk.

AiO Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 i really hate when posters dont use caps or paragraphs or god help us punctuation not to mention run on sentences when they have so much they need to say that their fingers can hardly keep up with their brains to type so they just go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on oh yeah did i mention on and on and on and on and on and on makes me feel like i need to take a breath just reading it.

I assumed that "noone" was a misspelling of "none", but I just today saw it used in a post as meaning "no one". I don't know what "nooner" means...generation gap at work (on my part)?
