Anyone know any good sleep medications. Something one could take, fall asleep, then wake up in 2 months time, feeling fully refreshed and ready to play MWO!!!!!!!!!!!

Or a Topic that does not collapse in on itself after 2 pages...????? (if such a topic even exists anymore?)

Lol couldn't help thinking you are channeling Cartman

Heck some of us left school 25 years ago and you expect us to remember everything to do with grammar and spelling........plus like myself some people have Dyslexia.
What do you suggest ban people who can not spell? what about people who use english as a second language?
Good deed? nah your just being a grammar nazi..

The point was not missed. The Forums have been up since 11/11 so the point you bring to us today has been mention ad nausea. If you feel others are mocking your good deed then you should grow a thicker skin. Telling folks about spell checking and grammar in-competencies and then getting your feelings hurt stinks of selfishness really.

P.S. Mine was a valid question, if not a tad off topic. I just assumed my grammar was somewhat acceptable and your post was not directed at my musings here...

OI! The comment of "Talk about the point being missed.." was not directed at you my friend... it was in reference to the previous posters comments. My bad... I was in no way commenting on your response!!!!

I have no delusional aspirations of creating a Ethiopian society where everyone uses perfect grammar... I was just presenting an opportunity for those who gave a rats-arse to re-assess they posting habits and possibly utilize widely available tools assist with this endeavor.

Ethiopian society? what? don't you mean Utopian?

Call me what you will... I know the innocence of my efforts.

As I Informed another member via PM... I stumbled upon a post this morning where the poster clearly was not a native English speaking person. His post was set upon viciously for no other reason than the intent of his message got lost in translation... As my PM friend indicated, my efforts might have been better served by PM'ing that person with this assistance, good advice but I tend to serve the community versus individuals... My bad apparently.

I agree with the OP and his intentions are well-meant. It is in the best interest of everybody to put a little efford into phrasing one's opinion. Back in the days before the internet made everything a lot faster people were used to proofread everything they wrote... and that isn't a terribly time consuming thing to do, is it?
