    Sonics GM,

    Did htownhero say capitatilization was not part of the game?

    Last game, I remember that capitalization errors are kills if the dictionary lists the word as always needing to be capitalized. So, "i" instead of "I" is a kill based purely on the dictionary listing.

    I was just quoting dimsie without using quotes. It's in the North Korea thread. I'm not dead yet, but it won't take long this time.

    By the way, I agree with heypartner's interpretation of the rules. If I remember correctly, capitalization was not an issue last time, but "alot", "their/they're", "it's/its" were definite kills, and rightly so, in my humble opinion.

    No no no bud...I would not weasel out of the contest...

    the content I was referring to was in reference to the extra "to" in GBRock's post. As you well know..:p

    But anyhoot, I'm busted...you and codell can duel over who gets to claim the kill....how bout cream danishes at 10 paces at dawn?

    Thank non-specific diety that I got busted...I use too many abbreviations and made up words in my posts to have kept this up for long....It was rough having to double check everything I typed...and even then, it wasnt good enough...

    As someone else pointed out, maybe in *your* English dialect 'theorizing' is right, but in mine it isn't. I didn't even read fast enough to defend myself there! Hard to keep up with you people... (Thanks, Sir J.)

    We should start killing everyone whether or not they are playing. I like reading the posts that are erroneous. They won’t be real kills they’ll be practice kills.

    While one could overlook the frequent omission of spaces when brackets are used, I would say that the orphan behind "most" justifies a kill.

    That's a hilarious post...but I think that word either doesn't exist like that (as a verb) or is spelled incorrectly...I claim a kill!!

    Huh?

    First, I would like to say that there was supposed to be a bracket after "all" and before "I"

    But that is in no way a spelling error!

    That is clearly a grammatical error.

    SJC and vj23k,

    As lame as his excuse is for making an obvious typo (looks like he meant to delete from "I" to "most"), the honor system rules. So that is not a kill, imo, since vj23k says it is not.

    As for making diarrhea a verb, that doesn't matter; it was misspelled anyhow.

    I agree. I think it's a bit lame, but if he says it's not a kill, it's not :).

    vj23k,

    on your conscience be it then. :) I went out for typing the word "to" twice in succession. A typo, just like yours, and I didn't misspell a word, but I still fell on my sword!
