I'm confused, what on earth does that mean>

hmm, i'll have to look into the thing about the man in the tree, but here's my thoughts:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think the strange item on the WOM's desk is some kind of mind control device, making the WOM do these things. I've just read this whole thing and it hasn't been suggested, even though it was my first thought when i began looking into this thing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just adding my ravings in here, feel free to tear appart at your liesure.

moron, try reading my whole post, watch this, extracted directly from my earlier post(i've been gone all day at my girlfriend's b-day party):

 

 

 

People who cut corners are okay, as long as it's sparingly and it actually makes stuff easier to read/write.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I do it too, sometimes!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

try learning to read AND write the english language now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

now time for one more quote!

 

 

 

Quote:

 

 

 

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- An English essay written by a British teenager in text messaging short-hand has reignited concern among teachers that literacy standards are under threat. The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported Monday that the 13-year-old's teacher could not decipher what the youngster had written.

 

 

 

"I could not believe what I was seeing. The page was riddled with hieroglyphics, many of which I simply could not translate," the teacher told the newspaper.

 

 

 

The girl's essay began: "My smmr hols wr CWOT. B4, we used 2go2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & thr 3 :- kids FTF. ILNY, it's a gr8 plc."

 

 

 

Which in translation from text messaging shorthand would read: "My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York. It's a great place."

 

 

 

Judith Gillespie, of the Scottish Parent Teacher Council, told the newspaper a decline in grammar and written English was partly linked to the text messaging craze.

 

 

 

"Pupils think orally and write phonetically," she said.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*giggle*. owned. :twisted:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not sure if it means that all my friends around me are becoming dumb, or if it means all the british kids are getting dumb...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*giggle*

hey jellyfish, let's look at your post here for a second please...

yeh but firstly u understood it and secondly y wen i find it quicker to type it tht way and everyone understands it areu complaning about it? admittdly this arcticle was well written and the author has done a good job but maybe there is a more worth while writing about then complaining about the way some people type

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*cries at the massacre of my beloved english*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

missing a letter now and then is alright, but when you consistently spell it wrong, it gets more annoying and tougher to read!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

btw, how old are you?? because i would be amazed if you were anything over, say, 10(this is a 14-year old speaking though).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've honestly found that the kids who have terrible grammar, also have poor manners, and are completely immature.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Take this situation from only 2 days ago, when i was killing some blue dragons, when a level 93 guy, with full red dragonhide, a magic shotbow, and a archers helm walks in. I simply registered him as another player who probably worked off a large part of his hindparts to get that stuff, when he suddenly bellows"stfu noobs 1 pwnz teh dragonz!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

well good lord.With his grammer and attitude, i can scarcley give him the benefit of the doubt that he is anything over the age of 12. I really perceive this players as children hacking away at a keyboard!(btw, he continued talking like this for more then 15 minutes, generally acting like the football players at my school, dumb and immature)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People who cut corners are okay, as long as it's sparingly and it actually makes stuff easier to read/write.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I do it too, sometimes!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and there friends, is the end of my big rant!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and zonorhc, you missed the apostrophe in your heading for "it's"(if this has already been said, then shoot me, i only read the first and last page)

alright, i'll try it again, but this is becoming a pain, we've been doing it forever

[location help]

ok, so me and my friend have been working on the trail that leads you to the burthorpe fenced area, and we've(he, it's his quest) have been digging for forever. Is there a specific spot in the fenced area where you get it every time, and do you need to dig the spot more than once to find it???
