i did actually have spelling nazi first, but after a quick google, prepair seemed like a correct spelling for something, which would have made it grammar, inproper use of a word.

[MadmaN]

hehe the only time spelling realy matters to me , is when i'm doing an essay or if it's part of work or something important.

pm's I dont bother to much , forums I might cheak if it's a spelling of a word I am unsure of.

but ye google has helped me out many of times lol.

[Bloodnok]

you can heil spellchecker in hell!

Grammar isn't the improper use of a word, that would fall more under syntax

"The grammatical rules and structural patterns governing the ordered use of appropriate words and symbols"

Oh how bored I must be :)

[PseudoPhreak]

syntax and grammar are pretty much the same thing.
Spelling istn a huge deal and people gernally know what you mean, but grammar can change the whole impresssion of a sentence.

[Sakey]

Hmm to invoke Godwins Law or not...... :p

[PseudoPhreak]

Hitler tried to envoke Godwins law on the Jews, look what happened there......

[Castiana]

I do believe the correct term is:

Served.

[Bloodnok]

No, diner will be served before the war

[MadmaN]

hijack my thread why dont you!

[Bloodnok]

Blame Captain Awesome and the Grammar Nazis...

[MadmaN]

Confirmed dates above :)

[ZeroG]

I can probably make this. Transport links to Dundee aren't all that bad.

[Bloodnok]

I'm going to give this a miss due to parents going away just after the last day...

[MadmaN]

ahwell upto you dude, there should be open spaces if you happen to change your mind.

ZeroG , i think gemini is comming along , so you can ask him if he can pick you up.

so i think a total of 5 to 6 players will take part.

[trkevig]

Woot!!! I'm sure it will be a success, remember BridieCLan? and the mini saglans at my house..... What a laugh eh?

[MadmaN]

Yup they where laugh! now where are they? hahaha

[trkevig]

Lost in what is T nightshift im afraid oh and kids kindof get in the way too. shame, cos i got a huge living room now heh heh

[trkevig]

what about a lan on those august dates???? i need to lan, got the bug again

[gemini]

A horifying thought has just crossed my mind.

I'm at work and cant check for myself atm. Can someone please check if these dates clash with StratLAN May 09.

[Sakey]

No mate, they don't

[gemini]

Excellent. I'd hate to have to choose.

I've just been signing up for any and every lan that I have the time off work to attend. I am trying to attend 12 lans this year where I am a customer. So the next two I-Series and any of my House/EvE lans dont count.

Now that I am 100% confirmed available, would anyone like a lift from Aberdeen to Dundee

[ZeroG]

[PseudoPhreak]

[ZeroG]

Just looked back on the thread and you did offer but I didn't see confirmation anyway so wasn't sure what was happening. If you can give a lift that would be great, what time though are you looking to go down ?

[MadmaN]

between 4 - 6 anytime that suits you the best. what time do you finnish work mark?

[ZeroG]

I don't finish work till 5. I'll see about maybe finishing a couple hours earlier today.

[gemini]
