Haha I used to do that a lot, but then I realized that no matter how many people I correct, there will always be 1000 more on other sites, and I can't argue with them all.

I don't get most of them :(

Well, some of them are dumb. Can't all be winnars.

Yeah, plus sometimes it takes them a while to get to a topic so by then its kinda old (their Guitar Hero one for instance).

The engines (jet or prop) _are_ creating an airflow where there once was none. Whether or not they alone can create the required force is left to an exercise for the user.

Agreed. I just wish I knew more programming so I'd understand all of the programing jokes.

It is even MORE difficult when you have correct people in the public boards AND on the private mod boards.

Now THAT takes a lot of time and effort!
