did you notice i also missed the apostrophe in "theyre"? I'm talking about people who spell phonetically because they're too lazy to look up the correct spelling, not ppl who shorthand, like i do on occasion XD

i may type shorthand/aimspeak online, but never ever on a document.

I don't think I've ever seen you use an apostrophe, and on occasion is the understatement of the century. And I know a few people who do the shorthand/IMspeak, but they don't do it on the boards. That just comes across as lazy to me, and I know lazy.

I wouldn't get mad at those who spell phonetically for being too lazy to look up a word. For those with difficulties in that area I imagine they probably would try looking up a word but are sometimes unable to find it. For example, if they were to look up the word phonetic, they might look under the letter F, because that's the first sound they make. Sometimes it bothers me and/or confuses me when people do it, but I don't get mad, cause it's probably something that causes them enough grief already and I am far from perfect myself.

My two cents on that lil debate.

yeah but if you can read you shouldn't have a problem looking it up. and if you go online and you spell it wrong, m-w.com gives you a list of suggested spellings if it doesn't know what it is, so then you really have no excuse :P google does it too. i don't know.

my friend has a pet peeve with ppl who use 'a's instead of 'i's in words. like definate. it just *looks* wrong.

its *definite*

zero - ok fine not occasionally @_@ and i *have* used apostrophes :P it depends on the day. if i'm on AIM a lot i tend to fall into the not-using apostrophes mode, but if i'm writing i'll start using apostrophes on the boards.

you'd love my friend then, cuz she wanted to make a board that has a shorthand/imspeak filter, so if you try to type something in im-speak and post it it won't let you XD i thought it was great, despite my tendency to do just that

Morning all...

ooh I have a ponder. How far would you go in a movie stunt???

While I probably wouldn't have the bottle to be like Jackie Chan, I think if I was in a movie I'd want to do quite a lot of the stunts on my own... the stunts usually look like fun to do. Fight scenes and driving and jumping and smashing through things. Anything that was likely to result in my death would be left to those more trained to do it though.

That's about where I fall on the scale too.. though I'd love to do some of those Resident Evil kick ass fights:)
