    I know you will. By the way, haven't you noticed that threads which I create are usually spelled properly? I don't know about grammar, but the capitalization is correct and the spelling is correct.

    Furthermore, I do not "hunt and peck". I usually type one handed if I am preoccupied or multitasking. Other than that, I type fluently with both hands. However, I do not use the "home row" keys, I pass over them because the keys are stored in muscle memory. It is more expedient for me to continue typing without returning to the "home row" keys for each keystroke.

    Do you care to be more specific?

    Also, do you care to use less Spongebob Squarepants graphics, please?

    Ah! That is good news. For a moment there, I thought he meant that I spelled something wrong or made an error of grammar.

    Right now, dirty jokes would be much more preferable.

    No, I am pretty sure a compound word does not have two capital letters without a space in between them. Also, i'm sure that a name does not have two capital letters without a space in between them.

    However, I could be wrong. I am not very familiar with that show at all.

    I'm right. I have a 7 year old son. Don't worry about it though. It was a stretch. ;)

    If it is spelled that way in a cartoon viewed mainly by children at the age of seven, then there is a very good chance it's misspelled nonetheless.

    Is it officially in the English Dictionary? I know it's a title, but if we are going to take spelling seriously at all, shouldn't we spell according to the rules?

    Bro, in your case you bad spelling isn't the main problem. You don't structure your sentences well, you use paragraphs incorrectly, you get basic grammar incorrect, you throw in long-winded references to a certain fighting game that few people are familiar with and you often have bad spelling.

    Try and make it seem like you didn't projectile vomit your opinions onto the Internet as quickly as you could. Re-read your post from beginning to end before you click "submit". Are your ideas easily understood? Does each paragraph deal with a specific idea/point? Did you make any grammatical or spelling errors? Consider using a web browser with a built-in spell-checker, like Firefox or Google Chrome. And for the love of all that is holy DO NOT MAKE LONG-WINDED ANALOGIES TO STREET FIGHTER. EXPLAINING THE ANALOGIES DOESN'T HELP IN THE SLIGHTEST, IN FACT IT MAKES IT WORSE.

    Well, I was quite obviously trolling you and made it pretty clear in my follow up post. However, let's run with this. According to Nickelodeon, SpongeBob is a sponge that lives in a pineapple. They gave him a first and last name. Let's just agree to respect that, for the kids.

    Also, don't be so fast to discount the intelligence of a 7 year old. Especially after this...

    Even though, Yo. Dinner's ready, gotta go.

    Yeah, that was bad. Sorry... :oops:


    Ian, I don't yet have a thread dedicated to trolling me. You're gonna have to wait.
