It is a CHAT.

In chats, speed is more important than correction.

There is no excuse to make mistakes in webrowsers, but if people had to correct everything they write it would be slow, and if the server modified what people say before sending it to other it would create many mistakes due to bad checks.
Spell check requires human interaction.

Actually, I believe that is the correct way of saying it. Obviously, the title does not say "it all guys".

Um no support for you.

i'd love to see a spell check just to encourage ppl from saying stupid things
and preferably make it optional cuz i like my slang like LFG, WTS, WTB, yo sup 'n stuff like that
but there are stupid ppl that just can't seem to talk the slightest bit of decent english
like: "seling dronkars syth wishp me"

and here's a saying a wise man once told me

Maybe if you elaborated more on your initial post, I'd agree with you. Someone who types two fragmented sentences as a post can't really complain about the laziness or ignorance of people.

Your correction is a grammatical error rather than a spelling error.

I agree with the easy typing though.

I agree with the "people are stupid" picture.

No way in hell I'd sign this, then I couldn't make fun of people in Great Temple of Balth.

However...

I happily /sign for more stupid ideas posted in Sardelac.

Me thinks this will become epic grammar battle.

Oh, also, me thinks Savio is locking this. xD

I know it's hard to believe, but, Guild Wars has A LOT of young, like, 8th graders. Don't expect them to know how to spell.

Dr.Jones · Aug 18, 2008, 12:19 AM // 00:19

I didn't realize Guild wars came out with a new chapter: English 101

NO thank you, spelling isn't that big of a deal especially in a game.

however being able to add stuff to the chat filter would be nice i would love to change the F-word into Love so people would say love you or your so lovingly stupid it could be quite LOL to be able to change wut ever word you wanted.

I think you need to be more subtle in your trolling, OP.

Trylo · Aug 18, 2008, 12:43 AM // 00:43

its not so much the spelling... its the "their, there, theyre," "would of," and "awefull." that ones pisses me off. full of awe? i dont think so.

the way i interpret a spell checker is the little red line under misspelled words, which i guess could possibly help a tad... im not sure. as long as it isnt a grammar nazi, sure. i would not enjoy putting ' on all my contractions.

It just needs less stupid people.

And less stupid threads.

So you are saying that people that don't have English as their main language are stupid?
I would say that people that have English as main language but don't use it properly are stupid.

Why would you want a spell check? Instead of getting frustrated about all of the misspellings, just realize that they are making your choice to not party with them an easy one.

Excuse me society, your lower class is showing.

I can't wait for the State of the Union to be done in txtspk, or Shakespeare to be translated into LOL.

this tread needs to be closed its turning into "OH LOOK AT ME I CAN BE CLEVER WITH WORDS" fest.

uzumaki · Aug 18, 2008, 01:45 AM // 01:45

wtf... No. Grammar & correct spelling ingame make you look so arrogant. Abbreviations are convenient, no need for an English lesson. Kthx

I want to slap ppl irl who begin everything they type with a capital and end with a full stop.

"No thanks." <--- this just looks offensive, a simple nty would be fine...

Tyla · Aug 18, 2008, 01:47 AM // 01:47

I'd rather have people talking normally than making stupid miss-spellings such as "Tomb" instead of "Tome", but this will divert the idea of typing quickly which is often used and is extremely helpful, and understandable at the same time for quick conversations. That is why I won't sign, however.

It's understandable how people really butcher the language, but acronyms (That's what they're called, right?) are extremely useful in chats like this.

GaaaaaH · Aug 18, 2008, 02:07 AM // 02:07

why stop at GW? the whole internet needs a spell checker and a spelling enforcer (some big guy with a bat to threaten the kiddies into typing right)
