ie.

It's "dying"...not "dieing." I'm not really sure what dieing is, although there is a suggestion here:

Thank you very much for pointing out that I am stupid.

So I am a dumb, dumb... I knew that. Worthless, hopeless and helpless.

Me being totally stupid has been pointed out before multipe times.

It would have been far better if I had never been born. Yes you are right.

tough to stand by someone who is perfect.

Sorry...that DID seem snarky, didn't mean it to be, just one of many references I found for "dieing"...didn't think of the ramifications of the post and was actually looking at the second entry mostly, the one about gaming, etc. No offense intended...

Nice apology, Amuhl. I occassionally do the same thing and I will use your mea culpa as a model for how to handle the aftershocks.

That second entry is great... I've always thought it was funny when my gaming friends used the word dying (or I guess it's dieing) to decsribe noobs (or newbies).

Then paste me extra stupid. Momma said that I was a mistake and should not have been born. She was right. I am too too stupid.

OneBallBoi having met you and spent time with you I must disagree. I am glad you are on this earth and someone I count as a friend. We all make mistakes and to err is human, to publicly point out errors is rude. I hope to see you again this August.

This would be a good place to point out that there is a spell checker in the EA boards. When you hit the reply button, a window opens to post a reply. Just to the right of that window is a check mark with ABC above it. If you hit that button it will spell check your response. True, it will not catch the dreaded homonyms (there, their, they're; to, too, two; etc.) but it will help a lot.

There is no shame in being a bad speller. Lots of very bright people are lousy spellers. But with the widespread availability of free online spell checkers, sending out a reply with bad spelling and grammar shows contempt for your audience, not to mention making it too easy for them to dismiss your opinion out of hand.

This I would think would be particularly important for those who claim to speak for the almighty. If you are speaking for the Big Guy, you need to be very sure that what you say is clear and easily understood. All too often the opposite is the case.
