It's always amusing to see people diss you. But Documad posted a one-liner! That's quite a phenomenon.

Aw c'mon. You have no clue how hard I worked on making every single word horribly misspelled.

The temptation was too strong to spell everything right.

I can't be arsed to read this whole thread, but I think it's obvious that poor spelling means lack of intelligence. Look at the two biggest offenders: Qdrop and Echewta. Need I say more?

I read almost the whole thing. no matter what anyone says, if you're an adult and use an apostrophe to make something other than an individual number or letter plural, you're a fucking retard.

that's just basic shit man, seriously. possession or contraction!

if you can't communicate your ideas effectively, it's your problem, not the reader's.

that said, typos happen, I just get annoyed by glaring misspellings or blatant abuse of quotes and apostrophes.

I've seen some words spelled in a way that couldn't be a typo; the letters used may as well be on another keyboard.

In Cheyenne, the apostrophe stands for a full stop which is one of the 14 letters of the alphabet.

Between your poor grammar and misspellings, you make nothing clear.

This Kurdish restaurant that I got to all the time has a menu that makes many ingredients into possessives. Dishes feature onion's, tomato's, potato's, etc.

The food is yummy and the people are lovely.

Heh heh heh, Qdrop. As I believe I once said to you before, somebody who takes pains to follow the basic nuances of spelling and grammar is obviously somebody who cares about the quality of his message. Conversely, somebody who doesn't bother to articulate his ideas properly is very likely someone with little regard for his audience, or simply too careless with his mode of expression to be worthy of much notice.

Now, there are of course exceptions to this principle - yourself being one. But I cannot profess to understand them. You don't think like gmsisko, so why do want your messages to come across like his? Why not take a little extra time to conform to a certain standard of textual professionalism? It won't do you any harm.

There's nothing elitist whatsoever about what I said. The medium, after all, is the message: a properly constructed text is indicative of somebody who respects his readers and his own ideas. You might say that an informal medium like the BBMB relieves you of any duty to textual precision, but I would argue that adherence to the rules of spelling and grammar even in less formal correspondence indicates a more genuine commitment to the quality of one's ideas and the means by which they are expressed.

And no, smart people are generally not lazy people.
