    Never thought I'd see a Shakespearian argument onhere, but I am LOVING it! You're both right btw but you owe me a keyboard spitting beer laughing!

    Well pick a keyboard and I'm mailing it.

    One that works and you don't have to be clever to use? <3

    I once spilled a margarita in a nice, brand new, lit-up keyboard. This promptly made the entire thing stop working and I had to haul out an old but dependable crap keyboard. I was upset, but kept the margaritas away from the keyboard after that.

    They removed the thread when I posted this and expressed the extreme distress that it caused me.

    Well it's possible they'll remove the thread. Hopefully not before I get that keyboard order in for @InaMoonlight though. :D

    So, no drinks near the keyboard, eeeevar? That sounds painful bwaha...So uhm, how do you survive a zonechat?... and yush this might be my last "backup" keyboard, but I'll be fine, I just consider it masochistic and beat it up a little more :D

    K that your phone is doing that is absolutely terrifying and amusing all at once. I don't know what to feel now. Confuzzled! :p

    I made a different tab for npc's so that I can focus on what's going on when I have to pay attention to that. I also made separate tabs for each guild so that if there's a conversation I don't get them mixed up. (Despite them being separate, very distinguishable colors as well, migraines know no bounds sometimes.) If zone chat is getting on my nerves, I pick one of those.

    I only had a smartphone for a VERY short while, one, whenever i wanted to text my mother, it insisted (only in her messages) that "i love you ma" was a typo of "The female hound"... Was easier to get a new old phone then try to explain IT WASNT ME! Smart thing nearly got me strangled. Thanks, i want a dumb one that sends what i type lmao.

    Grammar people make me cringe, most dyslexic generally are actually a fair bit smarter then the ones who really can't adapt to something like "I can totally decipher what you're TRYING to say and its beautiful" Really, opinion of an intellect depends on that? I feel awful every time i see folks go "You ***, it's not your making me want to suicide, it's YOU'RE"

    I read nightly, generally until I'm sleepy enough to finally sack out. As I'm moving along at a nice clip, when I find a spelling error, my brain hitches, hiccups, and then stops for a second. So for me, it's a matter of smoothness. I'll blink a couple of times, then find that I'm slightly irate having been pulled out of the immersion by a mere spelling error. It's rather like having someone pinch me when I'm relaxed. Ok, you have my attention annnnnnnnnnnd now I'm not relaxed anymore.

    Personal preference, personal issue.

    However, I still can't quite figure out how some people manage to get these errors past their team when SOMEONE should be crosschecking the work for quality. I was raised old school and you absolutely DID NOT WANT this type of error to get into a public setting or it was bad for the business image.

    They're a small bunch working the wee hours, as much as bad translations and the wee typo here and there can pull me out of immersion, my next thought is "how tired were you dear?" Idk I'm just weird i guess no news lol Very few people ALOT of content :/ For the players, I can only speak for myself, i CAN spell but after a long day or typing faster then i can spellcheck, well yeah, but I also see the damage done to dyslexic. And it's not really cute to outright humiliate people like that who's been going through hell over it all their life, cause someone likes their damned dots. If they CAN decipher it, the language did it's work neh? We're here to have fun, and I'll sign its funner to share the smiles then have them at someone's expense?
