I know we dont make much sense at the best of times but im noticeing a hell of alot of people are having a hard time spelling/wrong words etc.

I believe this rich text editor is the culprit.

Give it a whirl flick it to plain and typeing on the ol smart phone makes it a heck of alot better. No more letters and words jumping and shuffleing about when you go back for a edit

So... Make plain text the default if its possible. I cant even remember how phpbb works but im sure it can be done

It may not be an issue for those useing keyboards.

Worx whell

And maybe a punctuation checker, so causeican's sentences don't ramble on, all connected together. They still will be nonsense rambling's, but at least they won't read like one long, uninformed, uneducated sentence.

Or you can stop blaming everyone else and use spelling and punctuation skills .
If were going to rely on robots to talk properly for us , we're going to loose an important skill .
Next we're going to rely on robots to read for us .
Its sad to see the times tables becoming extinct .
It sadder when a lot of people can't figure out basic change .

There's no such word as "alot" it is "a lot"
"Typeing" is spelt typing.

Sorry for that m8 will you have to still r8 me 8/8. My ragy st8 after my deb8 at my d8 with k8 must of made me a bit lightheaded. Or it's is that sandwich I just 8 you choose my f8. If I could still be r8ed 8/8 that would be gr8.

i will I'll get down to business

Gr8 b8, m8. I rel8 appreci8 and congratul8. I r8 this b8 an 8/8. Plz no h8, I'm str8 ir8. Cr8 more, can't w8. We should conserv8, I won't ber8, my number is 88888888, ask for n8. No calls i8 or out of st8. If on a d8, ask for k8 to loc8. Even with a full pl8, I always have time to communic8 so don't hesit8. Don't forget to medit8 and particip8 and masturb8 to alievi8 your ability to tabul8 the f8. We should meet up m8 and conserv8 on how we can cre8 more gr8 b8 I'm sure everyone would appreci8. No h8 I dot me to defl8 your hopes, but it is hard to dict8 where the b8 will rel8 and we may end up not being appreci8ted. I'm sure you can rel8. We can cre8 b8 like Alexander the gr8. Stretch's posts longer than niles str8s. We will be the captains of b8 4chan our first m8s growth r8. This will spread to reddit like free real est8 cre8ing a new flow of gr8 b8 m8. Like a blind d8 We can col8 up st8 where we can deb8, ice sk8, or loose w8. We could infl8 our hot air balloons and fly tail g8. We could land in kuw8, eat a soup pl8 followed by a desert plate the payment r8 won't be too ir8 and hopefully our currency won't defl8. Well head to isrealyst8, taker over like Herod the gr8 and b8 a fishing hook m8. We could interrel8 communism, though is pasta it's maturity d8 a department of st8, voluntee st8. Reduce infant mortality r8. All in the name of making gr8 b8

Cheers,
Mick

It was in good humor Imax!

For decades, two heroic statues, one male and one female, faced each other in a city park until one day, an angel came down from heaven.

"You've been such exemplary statues," the angel said, "that I'm going to give you a special gift. I'm going to bring you both to life for thirty minutes, during which time you can do anything you want."

And with a clap of his hands, the angel brought the statues to life. The two approached each other a bit shyly and dashed for the bushes, from whence there came a good deal of giggling, laughter, and shaking of branches. Fifteen minutes later, the two statues emerged from the bushes with wide grins on their faces.

"You still have fifteen more minutes," said the angel, winking at them.

Grinning even more broadly, the female statue turned to the male statue and said, "Great! Only this time you hold the pigeon down and I'll **** on it's head."

You misspelt "phpbb", it's actually "Laurie's homemade forum engine".

your right m8.
If you put a full stop on the end of "Let's eat Grandpa" people might take that as end of story. Time to eat grandpa. But if you have no full stop, everyone will be waiting for the full stop. Therefore grandpa will be left to tenderise another day.

Punctuation saves lives.

It's been posted before, but it's worth another go.
