Sorry for the superfluous topic; I just couldn't bear it any more. It's what I call the "Curse of the Fat-Fingered Fiend," more commonly known as a typo. My guess it that people can't be bothered to fix the error, or just don't notice it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious Artila trogdor458 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I used to misspell guard constantly, but that was a few years ago...I've fixed the problem now Had to fix it, used to type it all the time in this old game called Avara, it had a simple level editor that you could use with Claris Works, so of course, text.

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Maybe someone should make the G5 editor based on this principle. Before they can claim their massive amounts of gold, they have to choose the correct spelling option of guardian. Before they claim an inventory full of uber-items, they have to admit that Blades of Geneforge is a terrible idea. And so on and so forth. Dikiyoba.

Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I thought you could type in any language. And the boards would translate it into the language you see. That is...whatever language your computer is set to. I don't think it works if you try typing in a language your computer is not set to.

Your computer doesn't do instant translation unless you're going through a special translation tool. That would be interesting in it's way. I'd be quite impressed by a piece of software that not only manages to properly translate everything, but includes any and all typos too in a manner appropriate to the language, and also translates any of the so called leet speak to one appropriate to the language.

Well-Actually War Trall Micawber Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I can imagine lots of little imps, living in the fibre optic cabling, who provide simultaneous translation for internet postings. That would be very Terry Pratchett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Okay, this one thing has bothered me like hell for a while. What is FYT? FMT? And many others used here? I would also like to say on how using r and u is stupid. I once read a piece of paper that used "r", and it confused me. Two people laughed.

Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 And I am well aware of the fact that "ignorant" means "without knowing", and is not to be an insult. So don't let me be ignorant and tell me what is means. I think I do, but an exact definition would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
