So, if I understand you correctly, you mean to imply no languages? 😛

Judging by the OP's ineptitude - yes. 😉

You're not translating old video games from Japanese -> English via Babelfish by any chance?
 
I hate people who are too dumb to spell correctly, or even to use the right words.

See: too, two, to
and
their, there, they're

The real ass kickings get handed down to the grammar infidels by the kids that can't spell. And those poor saps who confuse there, their, and they're, well, they just take it in the ass.

Seriously though, what's your excuse for not knowing the difference between "there" and "their?" I think rbloedow struck a chord - you can't spell words that anyone with a 6th grade education should be able to spell.

It's because I don't think much of you to make an effort to edit and spellcheck my post.



 
Spell checking isn't necessary if you're intelligent enough to type the correct word the first time around. Besides, you spelled the wrong word correctly, no spell checker will catch that. If you actually knew the difference between the homonyms this whole thing would be a non-issue. Passing it off as everyone else not being important enough to double check yourself for is laughable; you can also stop showering and dress in ratty clothes because you don't care to impress society either. I guarantee nobody will be sitting around saying "Wow, that slob is super cool, look how he doesn't have to impress anyone." We don't care if you impress us, but don't cry about it when you get corrected or mocked by those who know better. I'm not impressed by people who know how to use spelling/grammar correctly, though I certainly don't find myself wondering if I'm talking to a 4th grader.
 
The bottom line is that poor spelling and poor grammar make you sound less intelligent. If you want people to respect what you have to say, learn how to spell and formulate sentences correctly.

The best tranny man I have ever known in my life prolly didn't even get past the 9th grade. This is the case with many tradesman, I go past the face value myself.

 
You guys are being too kind to say that it takes a 6th grade education to know the difference between "there" and "their"...my second grader knows it already (he's only seven, not twelve.)

And OP: it's not a spellcheck issue. Mistyping their as "thei" or "hteir" is different from getting the word wrong. And it would be "their asses"...unless all the spelling nazis share one collective ass between them (Siamese spelling nazis?)

Edit: just so you know, I'm just giving you sh!t. Just yanking your chain, don't take it too seriously.

Yes they share one collective ass and one collective obsession.
