    you mean s instead of z?

    yep... let's colourfully finalise our rationalising.

    I'll play. If you decide that I don't have enough posts during the game later on, feel free to eliminate me.

    I am in. And I will probably kill myself again to avoid being eliminated by any of you ne'er-do-wells.

    Ok, game starts up at 7am sharp tomorrow morning (the 26th).

    All participants must add the following to their signature (preferrably in bold):

    How is my spelling?

    All kills should be posted in this thread (please, no hijacking of other threads).

    Once killed, you must add the following to your signature:

    I am a really bad speller

    Here is the official spell checker that we will go by:

    http://dictionary.cambridge.org/default.asp?dict=A

    Good luck everyone!!





    PS - I have no probs with Isabel and other posters who aren't often playing. As long as you have actually posted a few things before the winner is determined, then I feel you should be in the game.

    Anyone disagree??

    I guess I will tag along then, although my posting has been way down lately.

    But how do you expect to have a winner determined if not all participants has been killed by posting or otherwise? Thus all will have posted some drivel by the time we have a winner, don't you think?

    And this year I there will be no uploading of "textfiles" so you will probably have to find another way to kill me.

    But I probably wont last long anyway.

    Just for clarification, would "wont" be considered a killable offense, codell, or is that okay?

    Those definitions you posted are for adjectives and nouns, but you used the word as a verb, so it would be a mistake under the "mis-use of word context" rule. However, it might be okay under the "punctuation should not count" rule. These things would need to be clarified before the game begins.

    Ok, let the game begin.

    Here are the rules:

    Official dictionary: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/default.asp?dict=A

    Punctuation WILL count (i.e. wont v. won't) - (I originally said punctuation would not count, but I've changed my mind as I thought it would make the game a lil quicker and challenging)

    Typos count

    Grammar does not count

    Word context counts (your v. you're)

    All participants need to add the following to their signature:

    How is my spelling?

    Please post all kills in this thread. Once killed, you must add the following to your signature:

    I am a reelly baad spellur

    Have fun everyone!!!
