damiok Posted September 4, 2001 Share Posted September 4, 2001 I'm new here but I just wanted to say that there is an atrocious amount of misspellings when it comes to Dune words. I mean, we're supposed to be fans and we can't even spell Gom Jabbar correctly. This is just an observation so I don't mean to point any fingers at anyone. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quoudam72 Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 Gob have you ever considered a spell checker on these boards for those who can not spell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 I mentioned that in another thread actually. :) But I think for most they wouldn't bother since there would just be way too many errors to fix. People should just spend a few more seconds to look at what they post first, I am at the point now where I don't read posts with lots of spelling mistakes. I figure if they can't put together a cohenent sentence they don't have much to say anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alejandro Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 So gob you think that if i cant write a cohenent sentence because my english is poor i have nothing to say? :P >:(Let the people write as they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 Read a post by ExAtreides and you will know what I mean. :)If English isn't your first language I can understand, heck most of you are probably better then some of the American posters we have here. That's why you shouldn't go to school in the US. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemafakei Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 You could set up someone as a moderator just to do the typos and errors (or at least the more dodgy ones). Except - judging by the last time Ex's post got modified (somewhere in Dune Editing), he might get a bit annoyed about it.It does present a poor representation of ourselves. And it is aesthetically displeasing. Bad spellings need a cure of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 Nema, you do know that us moderators arn't getting paid, right?I can think of better things to do with my time than correct peoples spelling mistakes and typos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 Moderators will not be correcting spelling mistakes, especially Mahdi. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 Gob, if I don't get a 15% raise, I quit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted October 31, 2001 Share Posted October 31, 2001 Once I actually make money then I might consider it. :)15% of 0 is still 0. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted October 31, 2001 Share Posted October 31, 2001 Dammit Gob, I know its 0, you were supposed to go "Ok Mahdi, I need you here. You get your raise." and give me a meaningless, symbolic victory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted October 31, 2001 Share Posted October 31, 2001 Well, find moderators who are prepared to spell check. Otherwise, there is little hope for the meaning of our discussion's to be fully recognised or understood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted October 31, 2001 Share Posted October 31, 2001 It's not the moderators job to spell check... They moderate discussions, making sure things aren't vastly offtopic or someone is breaking the rules. And spelling things wrong isn't against the rules. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordos45 Posted November 1, 2001 Share Posted November 1, 2001 Mahdi, since Gob won't tell you this I will. We need you Mahdi, sure you can have your raise! (15% of nothing is nothing after all) You are our most active moderator, and we appreciate you almost as much as...Gob! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exatreide Posted November 1, 2001 Share Posted November 1, 2001 almost. ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordos45 Posted November 1, 2001 Share Posted November 1, 2001 almost is good. And the truth is transient so we may like mahdi more than Gob one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 Okay; Mahdi has his raise. But that still doesn't solve the problem (which is, as you may or may not remember, bad spelling). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hilamobster13 Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 I have good grammar(note the capitals and correct spellings)! I go to an American school!! I'll agree, most of them are idiots, but try to consider us super "evil" geniuses in the future, okay? :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
