it is my policy to thank any dm that takes there precious time and makes the day injoyable

SO THank YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARDWORK! :D :D :D :D :D :D :wink:

You're welcome, Thomas. Here's a way to demonstrate your appreciation -

(1) Work a little on your grammar, syntax, and spelling in your forum posts.

(2) Remember to only post if you're contributing something substantial to whatever is being discussed - with over 40 forums for the DM team to read, the volume of posts can be overwhelming.

,,,,Alright.

I get annoyed by bad spelling too, but keep in mind not everyone can spell. I had a roommate in college who wrote papers with the grammar and spelling of a 12 year old. She was smart, but the spelling thing just didn't click in her head for some reason.

I thought the grammar and spelling of a 12-year-old would be what's seen in the average newspaper article? The people who write those are expected to write at a "grade six reading level." I don't mean the enormous Sunday feature articles, I mean the junk on the page between the advert about blenders being the perfect anniversary gift and 10% Tuesdays at the local spaghetti house.

The thing about really bad spelling and grammar is that folks who have to read mountains of stuff can get annoyed and just throw the stuff away.

I know, it's harsh. A thousand miniature violins play to the unfairness of it all.

But if you didn't care enough about what you were writing to make sure it could be read, so why should anybody have to read it?

I'm pretty sure Firefox has a spell-check feature built right into it.

It does with the newest upgrade. I was wondering what all the little red lines under my text meant when I wrote out names and game terms. It took me a little while because I ride the short bus, but I realized its a spell check.

The tip is to build a time machine, go back in time, and start reading so young that you can manage a newspaper at age 4, like me!

I'm smart.

Hmmm my firefox doesn't have that. I got an idea! Somehow make it so I can edit all posts and I'll fix everyone's spelling and grammar! I did that for my roommate all the time.
