[Weather Report]

As far as game terms:
Gish is specific to Githyanki, not a general term.

Yes, thank you.

We can do without posts like this: pedantic douchery, just keep to the topic...

But I will edit, so posters such as yourself don't chime in with this sort of post-wasting crapola...

Hey now, pedantic douchery is the raison d'etre of Internet posting! On a thread devoted to pedantic douchery, no less. Ergo, I don't think "post-wasting crapola" means what you think it means.

I will now leave, sans a gish reference.

Ha, almsot Animal House, but not that cool/funny!

The emoticons are cheap (as aways...).

I don't know what would annoy me more... me always thinking things are irony when they aren't, or me using a meaning of irony that's been in common usage for generations and finding out that the people who complain about it are just being overly sensitive.

Anyway, something akin-to-irony seems relevant here.

Certainly akin. I'd go with kissing cousins.

Rule #1: Keep it civil.

I don't have a problem with the rouge rogue thing, maybe because most people I've played with don't have english as their first language. It's prevalent and understandable. The english spelling makes no sense when you don't know the etymology (and why would you?).

Personally I have a problem with people using the word 'actually' when there's no need for it. Which is ironic because I've actually noticed myself overusing the damn thing. It creeps in when I'm not looking at what I'm actually typing.

Bingo, and what is with the letter C (its only use is the "Chuh" sound)?

C is for cookie, that's good enough for me ...

Rouge doesn't bother me since I normally assume that it's a typo (like "teh" which I see often as well). If it were an intentional use it might grate.

Now critique "my hat of d02 know no limit" ...
