General Ranting: The Phorums and English

Foreword/Note - I know that people will see "rant", and they are probably not going to read this (and I wouldn't blame them either). This is the first in a series of--I don't know, so I'll play it safe and say 12.

I have this amazing quality to point of the flaws in people, it is a curse, and it is a gift. This sometimes helps others, but usually they'll just loathe my existence. Today's ranting: The Phorums (I know that it is supposed to be "forum", but ph=f).

As always, I believe that "People suck in general," and especially Nintendo for Mother 3 reasons, but on the phorums I've seen some pretty stupid stuff. The thread "Your Birthday Date!" let everybody see how old everybody is, and I discovered many phorum-goers are around 12 years of age. I realize that they are younger, but what is the deal with the lack of spelling and grammar?

I am not the almighty emperor of spelling; in fact, I used the dictionary several times in the creation of this article. When I post in the phorums, I keep MS Word open for checking my spelling with ease. The phorums is not a giant chat room; well, in an essence it is, but if you post something on them, you should make certain that your post is at least two sentences, and doesn't have bad spelling errors (e.g. - I liek fish) or learn how to Edit your posts. All of the phorums-goers speak English (more-less a given), and they should have better spelling and grammar then my geometry teacher who says, "More Better."

Yeah: I know that I'm not perfect, but I always point the short comings of others. When I did point out individuals in this article, do not feel horrible about yourself or feel like you should kill me. I have received a bunch of rants from others, like Picky for pointing out that my nick looks like a phone number (5238901), and I have offended people, sorry FIF fans (and PappyCat).

I feel obligated to be hypocrite, and I end this with: "Starmen.Net are teh winz!!!1!"
