To the Mods... (my only off topic thread, i promise)

[smoooooooooov]

Not to sound anal or anything, but I just can't help it.

It's good-bye, not good-by.

Don't they have spell check for this thing?

<edit>for reference, check out threads that have been locked lately, particularly ones where it is evident that the originator of the thread won't be seen around here anymore...</edit>

I really don't understand why that guy got so pissed at me. I only said that hot deals should be posted in the hot deal forum. I'm not a butt for saying this or a bad person for stating it. If you have a personal gripe with me just e-mail me and I'll discuss it with you.

How's 'bout a good buy, which is good by me. Good bye!

 

[smoooooooooov]

No gripes with anyone, guys... I'm just correcting the mod's spelling. I figure, if you're gonna kick people off your board, at least spell all the words right when you do it, ya know? I'd want someone to correct me if i speed stuff wrong...

(plus, i was just bored)

you should be dragged into the road and shot like the last three...

I guess you bring up the point that the mods may not be perfect. Such a amazing revealation... wow

 

[daid]

hehehe... LOL I had noticed that too. That's funny that you pointed it out. I get so sick of seeing every locked thread (HEY... Locking threads clogs up the forum too!!!) that I just HAVE to post to a thread I know the mod will see and lock eventually. Nevermind me... I have my own agenda. Carry on.

 

[smoooooooooov]

definition: no... both of those mispellings were by the Mod, in both the header and the body of the message. I've noticed it several times, wouldn't have bothered with this thread for one post. See for example:

I love how everything in this forum turns into a huge issue... i try to help a guy with his spelling, and now it's going to turn into a huge thread... ::rolls eyes:: oh well

smoooooooooov -- Stop! You're both right!

good-by', interj. and n.; pl. good-bys [contr. of God be with ye.] farewell; adieu.

good-bye', interj. and n.; pl. good-byes, same as good-by.

Except the mod forgot to hyphenate it... Dash it all!

 

[CrazyJake]

lol...This is so stupid, it's funny...

All of a sudden I am really impressed that the MODS know that good-bye/good-by are interchangeable per the dictionary.
