    I'm sure that is totally cool. We had a whole discussion about expressing dialects in text and most people really enjoy it as long as it isn't completely unintelligible. Some people even use intentionally confusing speech to demonstrate an 8 Charisma or Intelligence as well.

    We would have a really boring server if everyone texted with proper British schoolteacher accuracy.

      When I first joined the server I typed like a three year old, and after people correcting me left and right, I have been forced to type properly.

        You're still terrible!

        *Flames the **** out of Gamling*

        Nah, but really, I wasn't all that great either. I always spelled Sorcerer as Sorceror, and Necessary as Necissary.

        How aweful is that? It's almost a full-fledged sin.

            There are some mistakes that are typical of people that English is their native tongue.

            Its/it's, of/off, your/you 're are some examples.

            For me, who have learned English through study, it requires effort to type "your" instead of "you're" when what I want to say is "you are" and not "your". But I try to do that when I remember it, and feel that it is appropriate.

            For native English speakers it may be a mistake but for me, its an accomplishment!

              Truth be told, I use "your" for all versions of it not because I don't know how to use it, nor that I am speed typing, but because I don't care enough to use the correct spelling and/or punctuation.

              The word I do ruin every single time I type it is Destory (Destroy). There's something about that combination of keystrokes that throws me off every single time.

              And Saulus can tell you that is one of the more commonly used words in scripting DestroyObject(object oTarget);

                Oh, I remembered one more that bugs me, but is actually rather understandle.

                Should of, would of, could of.

                WRONG


                Should've, would've, could've.

                RIGHT

                Of course, the confusion probably comes from the fact that both instances are pronounced in the same way.

                          If you didn't get what I meant to say versus what I said then you weren't meant to understand any of it. They're/ there/ their my thoughts!

                          Plural of House?

                          Plural of Mouse?

                          Plural of Moose?

                          Plural of Goose?

                          Yea, English sucks, but it's the only language I know.

                                Bah!
                                Now I'm going to be living in fear about everything I type in Sundren..

                                Anyone that's read my nonsense in the RP forums should now know I have a scattergun approach to grammar. On the server I constantly manage to misuse you're and your, their and there. I've never understood the while too to thing.

                                Favourite spelling mistake for me is any attempt at Triumvirate. Gave up on that long ago and now use 'House of Three' for any reference to them
                                Eira Skald - Icy bitch.
                                Karsten Mannerheim - Idealist and murderer.
                                Vincent Hopkins - Witch Hunter and man of faith.
                                Aedan Gilter - Dreamer of broken dreams.
                                Henry L. Jones - Oh god, I can see forever.
