Just when I thought America's educational system was failing its youth - thankfully a Canadian comes along and shows me that it's universal.

All North American schools suck, apparently.

"Text speak" is not acceptable. Plain and simple. Your post was damn near impossible to read.
The "abbreviations" and the flat out misspellings make your writing unbearable.

I'm not trying to be the grammar nazi, but seriously.

Use Firefox, it has spell-check built in.

Awesome story! The Wings usually ALWAYS give autographs and are sociable with the fans. My friend just told me that bobby Ryan completely ignored her (she's sexy) and a few of her friends. They were with a "Bobby Ryan I <3 U" sign. It was as they were walking into the arena too. I've never heard a story like that from our boys.

Your post was just plain rude... To suggest a spell checker is one thing to make fun of someones educational background is another entirely. Heaven forbid someone inconveniences you with their grammar and spelling. I am pretty sure no where in the forum rules does it say that only those with solid writing skills are allowed to post.

Interesting story, sounds like you gave kronner a boost.





ps-Grammar wasnt that bad, I've seen much worse.

That's weird, I thought we were posting on a hockey forum... turns out it's a high school essay?

[Travis]

That's awesome that you got some face time with the Wings, but I'm with FireCaptain. That was a chore to read.

[ShanahanMan]

Jeez guys. You ever consider the possibility that maybe its a kid posting?

haha, I knew after reading this we'd be in for a "whine-fest" of responses about the spelling. Honestly, if you can't read it, don't. I prefer to see people who use complete words, but this is the internet after all. In the future diehard, it may be wiser to edit your posts so that more people will read it. Otherwise you'll get this boring topic.

I fail to see how that's an excuse.

Kids (and adults) need to know that proper English goes a long way. That means spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

if u type like this no 1 gon take u serious cuz its hard to read n most ppl cant figur out wat u tryin 2 say n even if they can its gon take them 4ever 2 make cents of it.

However, if you type like this, most everyone can understand what it is that you are trying to say. We have a lot of people on this site whose first language is not English, and I'm sure they can't understand our teenage slang and text-type. It's hard to be taken seriously if you type like that.

All that said, to the original poster, cool story!

HAHA! I can't believe I just sat and worked that out! I must be bored at work! And I read it out loud, sitting 6 inches from the screen, so had people standing watching me.

yeah but if you want people to try to read your post, and make your statement clear, please have the self respect to make it half way readable. That was atrocious. How many more seconds would have it taken to type "and" instead of "n"?

where's the minus button when you need it?

Wow, what a jackwagon response. Thanksfully a " Canadian" comes along and shows its universal"- You dont need to try and be a grammar nazi....you ARE one.
Sheesh

Sadly it's not uncommon that Swedes or anyone else foreign (my foreign Greek ex for example) know better English than people from the two North American countries that have English as their first language -- though mindfly's issue is that he lied about being a Wing fan since 1754, knows as much about hockey and the Wings as my 10 year old second cousin does, and his idea of cheering on the Wings is pointing out everything negative about them when they do well. And while I would normally say that being pedantic about someone's spelling is about the nerdiest thing you can do, the OP's post really does stink not only because it's a post that belongs in the GDT, but because it's a complete embarrassment to the English language.

Wow. This is an internet forum, apparently you didn't know? To be so rude to a friendly poster telling a story about the game is just silly.

So, congrats on your perfect spelling, but its a shame that you are socially inept enough to have no manners whatsoever. Between manners and spelling? I'll take manners.

Get a life, loser.
