Q: Does anyone bother to use Spell Check?

There's an icon for Spell Check ..shame, seems like not many people use it.

Difference is, my misspelling is on purpose (hence the quotes ' " " ' ). Yours is not. Like your drinking a glass of "whine" (sic) and then, when it does not match your expectations, you "wine"(sic).  Only, you don't use the quotes.

You know, if  you only use ONE login name/identity, you will get points much faster and be able to obtain that shaver of yours even quicker. Just a thought.

No, no they don't. For some, they are lazy. For others, they have no excuse.

Julio, I am sure I have not given you crap about long finger nails. I have given you crap about your blocks of misspelled words in which there is no visible excuse, and your lack of punctuation.

I have given yaya lots-o-crap for his shitty spelling, mostly of your and you're, and their, there and they're, and his incorrect use of language, especially when he enjoys pointing out errors of others .

I can see how you might get that confused and slip up with that. It must be difficult to keep your personalities seperate.

There is a huge difference between making an error due to ignorance and making a typo.

Aww thanks Phil. My ex is a kiwi, so I perfected the Aussie thing to annoy him. :) Like how I tossed the 'ewe' in? He was rather touchy about sheep jokes. Baaaa means no, man. I held back for 2 years. The last week... full force.

HugAPanda:

Oh Julio.. we are only helping you grow thicker skin. You seem to whine... not wine... often. The above was.... well... sarcasm. I do make errors. Even my students laugh at my typos because they know it's my fingernails. My finger tip might be hitting the F key, but my nail hits the R key. I do fix most of my typos, believe me. I am a bad bad typist. The difference between you and I is I dont make blocks and blocks of typos/misspellings/ errors of ignorance and expect anyone to understand my idea. 

You are also unable to comprehend sarcasm, or understand the difference between jokes and reality, which worries me a little, and actually deters from any brilliant idea you may have.

As far as you and yaya being one in the same... I don't know if you are or not. You're both just as annoying, you both act mentally childish in a "I wish I was an adult/I can't wait to get my driver's license" kind of way.

And you both post these idiotic pictures to seemingly try to get your point across, which means you are either incapable of using your words, or you think we are all idiots because we don't understand your words. Children use pictures in that way. 

The pictures, all they do is slow things down. For me, it's a non-issue. For those in China, where the internet is unreliable at best, could mean severe difficulty for them. 

This all being said, I don't hate you. Hate is an emotion I reserve for someone I previously cared about, and implies I, on some level, still do. Hate is an emotion I use very sparingly. 

If you want us to treat you as an adult, act like one. :)

Could it be that something on software is not working properly?.  I have noticed that sometimes mine is not colored light blue, but opaque.  If I click on it, it shows "enable", but further clicks give no results, so I give up.  Sometimes, it does work fine.

It is like the comment section, sometimes it works, sometimes it will not allow me to write anything on it to be posted. 

Is anyone else experiencing this too?

woody:

I have often had problems with posting comments. At times it says something about "no topic" and wont let me post. There is also a disable rich text that i have to select before I can write anything. It is even worse once I spot a mistake and try and edit. The text is all mixed up with other stuff.

HappyExPat:

Yes, that happens to me too, but hit disable and hit again when it reads enable rich-text and then it works for me. When you edit a post, you see added all the indications required to indicate paragraph, etc, and yes, it is very hard to edit with on tip a smaller print size.

I have to disable-rich text also, kinda a pain, but sometimes the comment box is just frozen and exiting the page and coming back or refreshing the page does nothing

A:Chinese are generally pretty tolerant friendly and accepting whatever foreigners do.  I spent 15 years in China but I wouldn't say there are that many don'ts....Don't assume that many people speak English though and learn some Chinese.
