    Hey, do we come in here and bust people or do we bust them in the thread in which they make their mistakes? I'm about to lower the boom on somebody... :D

    everything that is spelled by the accused is a mistake. Obvious cut and pastes are not, for instance, copying a news article. If DOD can prove he pasted that from an original misspelling, he's OK.

    I'm in, though I'm sure I'll lose rather quickly.

    The other thing we may want to do is say that you can't get busted for a typo in a post that was posted before crispee's first post in this thread. I'm sure we can all go back days and months to bust people on typos. :)

    Wow, Johnny! And that is "may be," as well, not "maybe." I'm beginning to think that you really did spell your name incorrectly on registration . . . Johny Rocket.

    Check out his post in this thread :

    http://bbs.clutchcity.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=26079&perpage=30&pagenumber=2

    He spelled the word as "offerred". Neener neener neener.

    DoD is cleared!!!

    No, it is simpler than that. You can't get busted <i>before</i> you enter the game. That's why your entry post goes here. For instance, CK is live even though he hasn't changed his sig, yet. I'm thinking this could continue indefinitely as new challengers get Senior Status.

    so, crispee--

    can you offer a ruling on the "strategery" [sic] controversy?

    or am I not in the game yet based on my 280 posts?

    first off, you weren't in the game when you posted "strategery." That was even before you posted in this thread. Secondly, you are not a Senior Poster, yet. There has to be a cut-off somewhere to prevent occasional lurkers from being annoying Spelling Police but not really participating much otherwise; that is, to play you must post. I do believe you are not far from Senior Member. Your time as challenger will come.

    That's it for rules officiating from me. Let it be an Honor System.

    Although, I will make one more rule <i>addition</i>: An incorrect accusation of misspelling knocks you out, too.

    I am in. You have created a monster. I will pride myself to not mess up in my spelling. Grammar is another story!

    Oh, and it's 400 posts before one becomes a Senior Member.

    I hate to break it to you guys, but how's is not a word. The proper spelling is how is. Everyone with how's in their signature is out!
    :D:D:D

    (serves you right you exclusionary S.O.B.'s :D)

    I don't think "how's" is mispelling, but rather slang. We're allowed to use slang :).

    It's an improper contraction. But hey, it's not my game. I'm not a senior member. :D

    Johnny Rocket left out the (') in "didn't" in his sig.
