On the front of the forum:

" -= Join Us =-
Leave us a little message if u are interested in joining our little club. Either for the Unreal 1 as the UT2004 game"

Should probably be:

" -= Join Us =-

Appearently he has to much free time and you haven't been in class, or you slept through it!..

I have a bit. But proof-reading is a quick and easy thing. Takes two seconds. I'm sure you also have that much free time.

Dr.Xaver, if you're already pointing out mistakes on the board, then mention the others too

"This is the place to leave ure message Unreal related "

would be "your message", ure is short for "you are"

It would be even better to switch the sentence to be "This is the place to leave your Unreal related messages" :O

"Here u can discuss the UT2004 game And perhaps make plans on when to meet on our server."
You dont capitalize an and in mid sentence

"Basicly anything UT2004 related goes here"
Basically, though Basicly sounds flashy :O

"U have comment's or ideas how to improve the website this is the place to post em"

They're comments :O

"U want to challenge }TCP{ for a clanmatch U can do so here"

Question mark could be added after clanmatch :l

Please send any thanks for my incomplete work to Xavious

lol, nice going cee

Yeah, well, i wasn't going to go that far, but Cee has a point. When you have time to sit there and make sure everything is properly typed (i.e. when someone else is not waiting for your response in game or on a messenger), you should really take the time to do so. Otherwise it's just lazy.

How much longer does it take to type 'You' than 'U?'

Post by **}TCP{Ramses** » Fri Nov 18, 2005 8:34 pm

More time than it takes to hold shift when typing I ?

}Rantmode{ It matters little if the meaning is clear imo .... it's not like we are writing legal documents here, abreviation is accepted in electronic communications and the standard of English is remarkably high considering it is a second language for many here. }RantmodeEnd{

Meh, i never capitalize my i's. Unless it's the start of a sentence. My english teacher doesn't seem to mind, so that makes it alright in my books.

My i's always capitalize when I see money and/or girls :l
Thank you, you were a great audience :l
