I think I'll make it my goal to correct EVERY spelling and/or grammatical mistake I see on EN World. I'll be quitting my job tomorrow and getting divorced Monday so that I can devote the massive amount of time I'll need to this exciting new project!

If someone shoots you down, you have to grin and keep posting. You can't let the fact that someone gives you a little correction upset you; they might have just been trying to be helpful. My second post (on February 22nd, I think) on the site was a story about dragon tactics which met with a response of "Spell Turning doesn't turn ray spells." But hey, they were right, and I learned just how few damaging spells are turned by Spell Turning that day. I didn't let it get to me, and I was thankful to learn that this uninituitive ruling was correct by the RAW so I could officially houserule it away in my game *before* I have a player mention it me during combat some day(thanks shilsen!); now, less than one month later, I have a whole lot more posts, and I've posted in threads and had discussions with game designers whose work I have purchased and enjoyed and other knowledgeable GMs and held my own. My suggestion is to give it some time.

Was it that all that happened was the spelling check? No response? That sounds like a kick in the teeth, but you shuld get back up and get back into the forum.

P.S No I couldn't help it

See that's my point. Correcting -gaming- mistakes, I'm all for that. It is, after all, a gaming board. But wasting people with bad spelling, and, much more importantly -my- time by postin spelling corrections..

Hey, I got an idea for all wannabe english teachers. Instead of correcting mistakes on here, go on any MMORPG game, and correct all and any spelling/grammar mistakes. They are much more common, and as such, in much dire need.

As the god of misspelling, I am sorry you feel that way but this site is no different from the world in general, you have a$$es then you have your friends, it is that simple.

Most post do not reflect emotions, you read that into them, phase, word choice, sentence structure, can all combine in a way that pisses a person off, yet the poster did not mean it or did not realize it but then again...

EN World is a very wonderful place.
