Default speeling

You know anyone can speak a good game. But when it comes to putting it in print OH BOY. My biggest problem is it seems I'm always in a hurry to say something on here. And get back to the next thing. I have to tell myself to slow down. PLUS I try to proof read what I say. Not always easy. Angie always used to tease me about my spelling. Plus if your using the key board on your phone. Its not as easy for some of us. with our our big fat fingers

MCF is supposed to be a stress free zone. I don't really see the point of nit picking. We all make mistakes. I'd say just get over it. There's a lot more important things to worry about in life.

I agree. Whenever I'm getting a little stressed out at work I just come to MCF for about 5 min. I see what the new posts are and it's like my drug and takes my mind off work for a few min. Then I go back to work feeling a little better

I think I have a problem.. addicted to MCF

I'm not nit picking, but I honestly can't understand some posts. There is a point between saving time and no longer speaking a language.

The 'texting' language kinda gets on my nerves a little, but I can understand bad grammar. Everyone has a different level of education, and even people with pristine educations still talk poorly. But if you don't have enough time to spell out ur like 'your' then your post probably isn't going to be very beneficial to the forums anyway.

Agreed, its a place to come relax.

I do agree that some posts are harder to understand than others, i think everyone uses different etiquette on forums. Most of us talk pretty close to how we would in real life. Some use an online lanauge or texting language. I dont think theres too much that can be done, its like all the bad drivers on the road. Just gonna have to deal with em.

Same here.. If I have to think about what a specific word is or what a sentence is even trying to convey, I just don't reply to that post. I also agree that occasionally some posts are nearly impossible to read but there isn't much to do besides just ignore it.

Hi EnZo`Brock, How do you spell Nubraska ? ~> LOL
I've been search'in 4 that state since I seen it in your MCF Profile What planet is it located ? ? ? ~> lol
Maybe the below will help you understand member's more.
I first apologize for recruiting so many of my friends to the MCF.

Alien language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia




<CITE>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_language</CITE>
Alien language is a generic term used to describe a possible language originating from a hypothetical alien species. The study of such a hypothetical language ...
`Brock, Maybe you should get the below computer translated to help you understand ?
Alien Language Interpreter Software


Tags: alien language, computer software, human language, Science, scientists

A computer programme which could help identify and even translate messages from aliens in outer space has been developed by a British scientist.
Even if there are extra terrestrials are one day discovered, scientists fear their alien tongue may make it impossible to understand them.
But John Elliott of Leeds Metropolitan University believes he has come up with software which at least will decipher the structure of their language – and be the first step in understanding what they are saying.
Dr Elliott’s programme would compare an alien language to a database of 60 different languages in the world to search see if it has a similar structure.
He believes that even an alien language far removed from any on Earth is likely to have recognisable patterns that could help reveal how intelligent the life forms are.

Maybe this will help you understand my words/posts



I think that we are all unique & different 4-Sure...We are `all from our own space & time & have had different Mentors/Teachers...Some had better then others, but that's what makes us `all Special....Just like ~> YOU!


Peace/Happiness from `Space,
