ErrorS	Posted - 2005.07.10 04:35:00 - [1] Edited by: ErrorS on 10/07/2005 04:36:03 Ok.. it's been bugging me lately so I went to dictionary.com and found out that missle isn't even a word. When I was like 10 I had a friend that argued with me saying "Missile" was an object that was thrown or shot (like an arrow) but "Missle" was.. you know.. missiles, like eve missiles. Anyways, I always thought he was smarter then me so I believed him. It took me 12 years and a year and a half of playing Eve-Online while reading the word "missile" and thinking the devs were spelling it some freaky european way to realize that maybe it was me. So.. I checked.. and the rest is history. I wonder how many people in life have thought I was an idiot but didn't want to outright call me one because they thought they were being nice for spelling it "Missle". Almost 2 years I've been playing Eve and not one person has corrected me. OH but if anyone ever says "Your" instead of "You're" you can be sure anyone who sees it will let you know that it's not proper. ________ I'm strict Caldari "The grass is always greener on the other side" - Maybe they're not as uber as you think? -ErrorS

Thats because if people corrected everyones spelling errors on this board then we would never see any posts about eve. That's because if people corrected everyone's spelling errors on this board, then we would never see any posts about EVE. -- Want your POS to make money? Call me up.

DarK	Posted - 2005.07.10 07:55:00 - [17] All I know is that I can't wait for tek 2 missles.
Dukath	Posted - 2005.07.10 08:05:00 - [18] I really wish people would stop being so uptight about their language. Who cares if missle is not a word in the dictionary. To me it IS a valid word since people use it and other people understand what the guy (or girl) is saying. Languages change and with the internet you can rely on the fact that english will become more like engrish, just live with it. I already consider engrish to be the new world language, not english :p

ErrorS	Posted - 2005.07.10 08:18:00 - [20] it's easier to just say "Ok, yeah sure.. i'll start saying it that way".. just to keep people off of your backs. I don't know how many times I had someone tell me "It's You're! not your!" I got sick of it and started doing it their way. People are weird about certain words but not others. For example, I can switch around than and then all over the place and people don't seem to mind.. You're and your will get you an ass beating anywhere on the internet though. I think they go through the same thing I went through and then use the same "you're, your" thing on other people to make themselves feel smart.. or something.. who knows ________ I'm strict Caldari "The grass is always greener on the other side" - Maybe they're not as uber as you think? -ErrorS

I don't know how many times I had someone tell me "It's You're! not your!" I got sick of it and started doing it their way. I have to admit that one always winds me up. My grammar and punctuation isn't perfect online but the mix up between You're (as in you are) and your (as in something belonging to you) is plain dumb and sadly indicative of the education system these days.
