[QUOTE="somekindofjerk, post: 2109750, member: 27631"] 1. as for the grammar/spelling issue: I don't know if misspelling something on a BBS neccesarily denotes a lack of English proficiency. I for one was in advanced placement/honors english courses throughout school, but I cannot type worht a damn. Thus, in order to avoid being made the fool by some random internaut, it takes me a quite a while to prep even a "quick" reply (and even then I leave in mistakes). As I recall, Kaos was at work while making the lose/loose post and most likly didn't have the luxury of time for extensive proofreading. As a rule of thumb, if I can understand what idea a poster is trying to communicate, I don't dwell so much on grammar and spelling. 2. Someone on the internet disapproves of your typing habits? Oh noes!!1! :eek: 3. So as I understand it, whatever gibberish I post will go unnoticed (so long as it's not particularly offensive, I presume), but once I break a postcount of 1k or more I'll have to bring actual substance to the table? ah nuts. :) [/QUOTE]
