i remember a topic about that a while back. they were saying that its something with the coding and that they can't put in apostraphees(sp?). at least thats what i remember the gist of it is. youll have to ask someone with a better memory about it

Well....that's true. Some computer languages don't like special characters. However, if you wanted an apostrophe you'd need a special thing before it. It probably varies from language to language. For instance, in java you would use \' to get one. Java doesn't like quotes on their own either becauase it's how you print out lines and stuff.

*nods*

Basically, to sum up. Yes, you can blame that one on coding. But really, yeah, you could put the apostrophes in....but it's just a general pain to do so ....unless they code in a language that doesn't allow special characters.

As for proofreading, lol. I couldn't agree more. I've been a peer tutor for about 6 or 7 years now, and it's one of the reasons I hate netspeak. People would turn papers into me with netspeak in it, and I eventually handed them back without any comments if it had that stuff in it. But I'm better about automatically proofing everything I read now .

Sierra, I do the same thing. It is pretty much an automatic and subconscious response.

There is a petpetpet called Veespa but there is an item called Veepsa Petpet Scratching Post.

This reminds me of the VERRY annoying shopkeeper.
I can't remember which one it is now, but their is a shopkeeper that says it's with a faellie when the picture shows it with a feepit!
How can you call a feepit a faellie? Their is NO comparison!

Like "warf" becoming "meow"? Wait, it doesn't make sense, at all.

The point is, proofreading isn't good for your eyes health, and, it's, evil.

I think that the "Moichandising" bit refers to how gangsters in films always pronounce Merchandise as Moichandoise - thus Moichandising

Actually, it pays pretty well--editing, that is.

maybe TNT did that on purpose or
maybe they're slacking a little

*sends TNT to TNT *:evil:

I'd agree but a while ago there was an item with an apostrophe in it - I forget the name but it was a sponsor item. It obviously doesn't exist anymore because now the shop wiz says:

Oops! - Please do not enter words containing apostrophes.

But for a while it existed and you could wiz search it with or without the apostrophe. Proves it can be done!

Reese's Puffs, you mean? Yeah, that was it. You have to search for the whole thing or it won't work. I don't think that's so much an apostrophe as, say, an accent. A really high accent.

I really think this board goes to show you that none of us are perfect. =D

I saw a slockworth mazzew I think on trades, I was thinking 'What the heck? Slockwork?' =D

I remember there was a huge thread about it with adam and the programer dude (i think) and yeah

This week's PPL award has been given to the Bolwa. Well done Bloop, Ms. Bojangels, Squid lips, WHERES MY DRINK?!?!, Lil Mama, Twinkles, Wanda, VERY RARE and all the rest.
