Ugh, that reminds me of an incident on another forum (non-Gaia).

It was a thread about the blonde stereotype. The thread starter had TERRIBLE grammar, so I quoted his posted and bolded the errors, and then I said my piece about how blonde jokes are just jokes and that he shouldn't take them seriously, etc. But get this: When he replied, he asked me why I dared to correct his grammar. Seriously. He was FOUR years younger than me and thought he was the most intelligent being in the world. We all kept trying to tell him that we would take him more seriously if he proved he was smart by typing with good grammar, but he just kept making excuses and saying his "grammer was fine." Yes, he kept spelling it with an "e." It was disgusting.

I HATE people who think they can type well when they very obviously cannot.

Awesome thread! Now I just have to go wash my eyes out from looking at what that person said being too tired to be literate, even though it was supposed to be a literate RP. Ugh. Don't ya just love hypocrites? rolleyes

Well at least she didn't really get to role-play because every-one left xd I guess she just went to sleep hoping to wake up literate in the morning... Which is like putting your history book under your pillow and expect to know all of the text for your history test rofl

I wouldn't know about that, because the illiterate people I know (believe me, that is almost my whole grade level and I'm in 8th stare ) don't know what literate means to call themselves it.

If that is considered a run-on, sorry. sweatdrop

Some people spell it like that to distinguish "true" magic from sleight-of-hand. 3nodding

Nope i'm sorry but it doesn't show up as a word when I looked it up, I did get the word magicked which means to produce, remove, or influence by magic

Well I never heard of it spelt that way before... and I don't think the person who typed it knew about that either sweatdrop I think she just misspelled it

Sleeping always makes me magically smarter! I don't know about you people; you must be mutants or something. [/sarcasm]

What's seriously scary is that I knew what the RP was about. Stupid Shojo Beat Girl contest!
