    Nope ;) I'm just saying that if I try to post more than I already do, it'll be mostly spam. I should be dead anyways.

    I'm surprised I've lasted this long. The one that always trips me up at work is when I'm typing "from" and it comes out "form." I must do that at least once a week and I never catch it during proofing. As for this contest, it's just a matter of time, especially since I do a bunch of sleep-deprived one-handed posting while holding a teething baby who can't sleep.

    I appreciate the efforts by Codell to summarize the results. Maybe he should do it again and start a "Part II" thread so we don't have to wade through this one everytime to see who has been knocked out.

    I can't remember if context kills counted, but if they do, I should have been killed earlier. "Geez" instead of "Jeez".

    Most people say that it's because his posts are so short. I think it's because he has hundreds of evil monkeys working for him to proofread everything. Your monkeys won't work forever, Chiles!

    Mduke, I think this should answer that question...

    This was Behad's response when rimrocker asked that same question..

    When You are quoting someone that has misspelled, you arent responsible for correcting their spelling..

    I dont believe anyone ever disputed it....so go with it.. :)
