    so, has there been a ruling on "I" versus "i"? imo, since "i" is not a word, and since spellcheckers make that correction for you, how can this not be a spelling mistake? What if the person used "i" in one sentence and "I" in the very next sentence? careless, imo, especially when playing this game.

    I think last time we said that capitalization would not be counted as an error in any case...

    There's just something wrong when someone named "Diehard Rocket" misspells basketball while confessing he's a fair weather fan.

    I know you were probably just joking, but read that post again. I said I am a bandwagon fan for <b>college sports</b>. As for the Rockets...see the moniker. Same goes for the Texans, Chiefs, and Astros.

    vj23k already has one asterix. Let's see his excuse for this typo.

    <blockquote><hr> They're alike in that they entered/will enter the NBA after/during their primes(Definitely <b>after for</b> Sabonis) rather than before their primes.<hr></blockquote>
    I claim a kill, unless he claims Honor System immunity.

    Where do you see a typo? "after" and "for" are both spelled and used correctly, as far as I can tell.

    How should that be written...?

    I don't know if you understand what I am trying to say there, or what...

    If you can give me a somewhat legitimate reason, I will bow out because I would hate to go on with another asterisk.

    alright, I'm wrong. Codell, take a kill away from me, since I falsely accused. His weird lack of proper punctuation and spacing and capitalization makes my brain say, wtf.

    I wonder if heypartner was trying to bait you with "asterisk." :)

    WTF?

    What lack of proper punctuation, spacing and capitalization?

    How the hell do you want me punctuate, space, or capitalize that statement any differently?

    It's clear that you are now gunning for me, and have decided not to read entire posts.

    If you read the above quote in its entirety, you see that it makes perfect sense.

    And, just for kicks, define "asterix."

    This sentence seems to be missing a "to".

    Between "me" and "punctuate". It doesn't make sense otherwise.
