BadAssTronaut Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 I can't help but notice that recently, the somewhat illiterate among us have been substituting the word "shotting" for the correct "Shooting". Is it just me or is this some kind of inside joke that I am unaware of? Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Jebus Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 I could name about 30 other words that have replaced the correct spelling or gramar on arnies, But I don't have enough time, So I'll start with the word 'am'. As far as 'shotting' goes, I havn't seen it used yet.... Link to post Share on other sites
billymak Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 I'm probably blind, but I haven't noticed much change on the forums. The cursed touch of engrish is upon you... Cleanse yourself Simon, and repent for all your sins, and you may have this curse lifted. But honestly??? Those who can't be bothered will never be, and those that type correctly may typo once in a while. I wouldn't worry about it, Marlowe still logs on once in a while, which means he hasn't gone blind, yet. Link to post Share on other sites

BadAssTronaut Posted September 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 I know a lot of other words are consistently mis-spelled by certain users, just happened to notice this particular word being mis-spelled quite a lot recently. Probably just me. Link to post Share on other sites

Sledge Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Meh, the general standard of literacy is quite poor. What's worse is some people try to argue it doesn't matter. I've said this before: this is a text-based form of communication. Therefore, the only way to express what is in your mind to other people accurately is through the correct use of written English. If you can't be bothered to do that, why are you bothering to post? Link to post Share on other sites
AliceHKfan Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 I remeber hearing it has to do with TXT Messaging and IMing. Overall my spelling just sucks, but I try to type grammatically and have proper spelling Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 It might be that on a keyboard, certain words are easier to mis-spell. Like Billy and his Chniese, or me and my Royal Amrines... Link to post Share on other sites
