    OK its on again. Lets start from scratch.

    This game seems to get too long and drawn out and people quickly lose interest. So I am "turning it up a notch". Its go time.

    Here is the new objective of the game:

    The first person to catch VesceySux making a spelling error, wins. Its that simple. It should be interesting to see if he can take the scrutiny of 15,000 CF members.

    I think Mr. Sux should put the following in his sig:

    Undisputed Clutchfans Spelling Champion - If you find something not spelled right in my posts, please report me here: (link to this thread)

    Please refer to this thread for the rules on what is considered a spelling error:

    thinking about this, to make it even more interesting, we should have two more targets:

    2nd Place - Whoever catches SirJackieChiles' spelling mistakes
    3rd Place - Whoever catches Isabel's spelling mistakes

    If one person happens to catch all three making spelling mistakes, then that person shall receive the "Triple Crown Award".

    Good luck.

    :)

    Would that be rounds of spelling, or rounds of drinks?

    :D

    Since the word "sucks" is misspelled in his user name, shouldn't he be disqualified by default? ;)

    "Sux" may be at least considered internet slang.

    Since "Vescey" almost assuredly refers to Peter Vecsey, this is the more egregious error.

    How about grammatical errors? Semantic errors? Or just spelling errors?

    You're better than this. "Good" is an adjective. You need to use the adverb form of "really" instead of the adjective "real" to modify "good" as such.

    How about first listing a dozen of most misspelled/misused words/phrases?

    To begin with, here are two:

    it's vs its

    lose vs loose

    (most people meant the former when they actually used the latter)

    That would be the "Spelling Police Triple Crown" since the Triple Crown is already a valid award that consists of three aspects:

    1) Being quoted in someone's sig
    2) Being the starter of a stickied thread.
    3) Having your thread become a hot topic.
