The Question Thread . .

[mallyauto86]

Right here i have a question to everyone.
this thread could be used for asking proberly stupid questions insted of making a hole new thread or whatever,

My question is to the off topic moderators.

Is it possible to have a laugh here without you guys spoiling our fun ? (or my fun at least :mrgreen:) oh btw please see funny side of this as its not ment to be harmfull

simple yes or no answer no harm intended just i feal a bit cheased off at a few topics disapearing when all that was there was good spirits.

I Don't fancy reading an off topic section full of doom and gloom its off topic shouldnt their be virtualy no limits ?

There we go feal free to answer or give opinions and maybe could bring other questions into the thread about ANYTHING at all ... if you want the answer for somthing (off topic ofcorse) here's the place to ask it.

Please this is not for complaining this is to ask questions and get answers.

oh a little rule once somone else ask's a question no refferql or discusion should be mqde qbout previous questions only answers (should stop clogging it up )

[Viper]

Simple answer: Yes.

The reason why said threads are being locked, binned or both is quite simple.

When people click on a thread about a certain topic they expect to read and talk about that topic. Not about how long your hair is.

A lot of threads have goofing off in them and that's no problem at all, but there's got to be a limit.

In the past there has already been fireworks here because the "level of conversation" or whatever you would like to call it was dropping by the second.
People have left because of it, and us moderators and other site staff are still to this day being held responsible for it.

In light of that a lot of people have asked for a cleaned up off-topic, off-topic moderators, a chance to self moderate and for the moderators to keep the level at least halfway descent if the self-moderating seems to fail.

Since you're seeing us taking action again, I guess you can fill in the rest of the story for yourself.

Also, I have just answered this same question via pm. Would you like an answer via fax as well? ;)

:ohmy: Oh thanks :crying::crying: is it that bad :crying::crying:

[Pizzaman]

Q: is it that bad :crying::crying:

A: Yes itf mlobby awfuk ya olmast cund reet any frikking ding ovvit. :laugh:

(Q&A.... :-P)

[stagman]

:ohmy: Oh thanks :crying::crying: is it that bad :crying::crying:
Would you like to be shunned? Keep up the slacking and folks will pass you by.
Or does that need further explaination?

[Highflyer]

I think exageration is rampant in these parts, I can read Mally's posts just fine :?:

[mallyauto86]

wow no need for that :crying:

[Viper]

And Viper please notice my effort in punctuation:mrgreen: ok i know it suck's But i'm trying :mrgreen:

An effort to correct use of English is all I ask for.
I know you've lived in France for quite a part of your life so I can't expect it to be perfect, but we both know that you can do a lot better than you have done in many posts.

Stagman's comment is straight forward and very accurate. It may not seem very polite but he speaks the truth.

To answer your other question: yes, it really is that bad.
I simply don't read a lot of your posts for that reason. I CAN read them, but when I constantly need to read words or sometimes entire sentences twice to get them, reading can get very tiresome.
A very simple and clear example, from the first post in this thread:
should be mqde qbout

If I need to switch between an azerty and a querty keyboard I'm bound to get a few typo's as well.
But unless you have a problem with your sight you should be quite able to see what you have just typed, and all it takes is a few keystrokes to go back and turn that "q" into an "a".

An explanation about this post that once again hammers on your spelling:
I'm not trying to annoy you with this. I'm trying to get you to understand that it can be really quite bothersome for others to read stuff like that.

Try to look at it from a point of view of a person that has trouble with English.

"n a sid wut" -> "and I said "what?" "is something I'm able to correct because of things like context, sounds and knowledge of the language. But to someone that has trouble with English it's like deciphering hieroglyphs.

Footnote:

I needed to look up the correct spelling of "deciphering" and "hieroglyphs".
I typed "tryçing", "botersome", "stuf" but chose to correct them.
Because I type at quite a speed I usually get halfway through the word after my mistake before I spot it, hence I need to use roughly 5x backspace per typo.

[Pizzaman]

querty

:ohmy: It's called 'QWERTY'... :laugh:

OMG you kill me :rofl:

[ravenmorpheus2k]

Don't want to be picky Viper but it's qwerty not querty. :D
EDIT: - Beaten to it by Pizzaman.

I am the same as you though, only usually it's after I have posted that I notice my mistakes, sometimes I don't spot them but I do make a concious effort to do so.

If you guys use Firefox it has a spell checker built into it. I'm using 3.0.12 and it underlines all incorrectly spelt words (that it thinks are incorrect at least) with a red underline and you can change it's dictionary to English (UK) instead of that foreign yankee brand. :D

I find that very useful.

[Viper]

:ohmy: It's called 'QWERTY'... :laugh:

OMG you kill me :rofl:

:rofl: :laugh: :rofl:

Why do you think I said that it's the effort that counts? :laugh:

QWERTY keyboards are EVIL!

[mallyauto86]

i do switch between both. my laptop is QWERTY and this one is AZERTY.

But honestly i didn't think i was THAT bad i mean yes some times i can get a bit carried away and type in txty language but other than that i really didn't think it was that bad:crying:

And i don't look at screen when typing . . . nor do i read through again . . now i will start to though

and erm am i right spelling nor like that ?

Could i be Dyslexic ?

[ravenmorpheus2k]

You're probably not lysdexic. Just a teenager living in the UK. :D

Nor is correctly spelt. :)

[mallyauto86]

wooo i got it right :mrgreen: anyway back on topic guys, Any Questionsssss

Ok... silly question from me time...

How would I go about changing this dictionary thing then Mr morpheus?

:mrgreen:

And that`s a serious question too... :mrgreen:

[diffuser]

Without wanting to suck up to anyone, I think that Viper and CX are two of the funniest posters in the OT Area. Just do what you do guys, you're doing a good job :thumbup:

And for a random question: where did all my free time go?

[mallyauto86]

And for a random question: where did all my free time go?

My guess would be . . . Out the window :mrgreen:

Good question. And the answer is...


You have to download a new dictionary from the mozilla firefox site iirc.

Either that or install the correct language version, i.e. the UK version in our case.

To be honest I don't entirely remember, it was a while ago I did it. I.e. more than a day ago. :D
I appear to suffer from selective short term memory problems at times.

Here's a link I found via google though that may be of help -

[freejrs]

Doughnuts!

I thought you said you could actually spell/use punctuation but you just can't be bothered?!:laugh:

[wombat666]

Doughnuts!

I thought you said you could actually spell/use punctuation but you just can't be bothered?!:laugh:

The accepted spelling (albeit 'American') is 'Donuts'.
But in 'HM English' the correct spelling would indeed be "Doughtnuts'.
'Dognuts' is a 'Slang' term, and is used in Australia from way back.
:-P

[mallyauto86]

Doughnuts!

I thought you said you could actually spell/use punctuation but you just can't be bothered?!:laugh:

I Lied :mrgreen::twisted:

[Pizzaman]

How hard is putting exhaust headers on?

Probably less hard than eating Dognuts.
I can put exhaust headers on... but won't eat Dognuts :thumbdown:

[boyracer5500]

hahaha.......I might put a pair of hookers on the vette with a off-road crossover pipe....

[Viper]

And I ate them before anyone could tell me what they were. (I was hungry) Since I had already consumed them I didnt really care that they were chicken nuts. :lol:

Aren't they called 'Chicken Pops'... they had those over here at KFC for a while.
My kids used to flick them at eachother, like shooting boogers :thumbup:
My 5yo shot one down a womans cleavage... (she didn't see where it came from, I almost pissed my pants though).

Now I know why they didn't eat them. ;-)
