Pet peeve, and if I see one more thread called "Woah xxxxxxxx" I'm gonna....I dunno, implode or something.

That is all.

1. thats not a proper link.
2. thats not conclusive proof that is how a word is spelled. the spelling effects the sound, therefore, the spellings are useful in both cases.

sorry about that. apparently they use http post instead of get

"whoa" is in the dictionary, "woah" is not. to me that makes "whoa" more correct.

Uh.....

"Whoa" is a word. It is a command to stop.

"Woah" is not a word. It means nothing.

Edit: Hmm.. I just realized I just bumped an old thread. Was searching for something.. lol
 
Ok, just so I have this straight...

Someone who thinks "Bowling for Columbine" is an honest documentary that made many 'good points' reserves for himself the standing to be bothered by spelling?

God that is dripping with so much irony that its....well...ironic.

So, when Neo said Whoa, he meant "stop"? Woah, that's wicked....
