People, it's not that hard... way to many people have "wtb: ambrace 100k+20" and such in party search or in all chat or whatever! I searched in the auction, and someone named their auction "ambrace of truith" it's not a big deal... but seriously.
Basically, this is a general thread based on common English. I'm a fan of correct punctuation and vocabulary, not "13375p3a[<" and such.
Please learn to read/write. It's ARMBRACE not "AMBRACE"

Its Arm brace. Armbrace isn't a word. Devs don't have spell check.

The English language, more specifically American-English, is a dying language. Most people don't care to speak affluently or put any effort into their spelling ability. The Internet is largely to blame for this.
You can't save or correct these types of people, it's a lost cause.

Why does it matter? Lock thread imo.

[email protected] but seriously... People dont say "wtb: kaos axe" so why should so many noobs say "wtb: armbrace"

And this surely deserves its own thread. Slow news day?

Hm, you may want to remove the link. I know you warn people but I think it's better to not place link at all to these account thieves.

This is the most stupid thread I've seen since, the one yesterday the OP wrote with the wammo skill set. No one really cares about how to spamm there WTS/WTB. Some people really can't spell, tell them in the game not freaking here.

And people still say "Silver Armor", it's just something one must come to accept.

Well, for one. I searched for "Armbrace" in auctions and found three of them. I searched for "Ambrace" and found one. This thread is simply for making those who are unaware that... it's Armbrace. -_-

Well actually I've been using "Ambrace" for about a year. It never noticed it untill a friend said it to me yesterday. Does that make me a fag or something omfg

Well there are a lot of wrong spellings in the chat and i guess most of the people are actually proud of typing things wrong. (like people who are proud that they suck at math) It's a shame but that's the way it is.

i still wonder how much damage a shield does and how "reg" became a shortcut for requirement.

Though it's good that there's a notifaction about this that's now up on the forums, I don't think this this belongs in riverside. I think it may do better in another forum due to lack of discussion and overall realivity to the game and the event surrounding it.

grammAr.....
ugh
there is so much bad english out there that to just try to fix it is almost like trying to use a tooth brush to clean the floor in St. Paul's......it will take forever, and people will just continue to walk on it while you clean.
and having spent 2 years in a foreign country trying to teach jr high kids (american) english I have just about given up trying to fix any errors----
(american enlgish is a separate language just like mexican spanish is different from brazilian spanish....soon even americans and brits wont be able to understand each other!)
OP good luck on your efforts

As pointless as this thread is, lets just address a popular misconception about the English language, and the common mistake that it's being mangled by the Americans. And before I get flamed, yes I am British.

From the wikipedia
Quote:
| As early as 1755 Dr Johnson settled on -our, while Webster's 1828 dictionary featured only -or and is generally given much of the credit for the adoption of this form in the U.S. By contrast, Johnson, unlike Webster, was not an advocate of spelling reform and for the most part simply recorded what he found. For example, documents [4] from the Old Bailey, the foremost court in London, support the view of the OED that by the 17th century "colour" was the settled spelling. Those English speakers who began to move across the Atlantic would have taken these habits with them and H L Mencken makes the point that, "honor appears in the Declaration of Independence, but it seems to have got there rather by accident than by design. In Jefferson’s original draft it is spelled honour. " [5] Examples such as color, flavor, behavior, harbor, or neighbor scarcely appear in the Old Bailey's court records from the 17th and 18th century, whereas examples of their -our counterparts are generally numbered in hundreds. One notable exception is honor: honor and honour were equally frequent down to the 17th century,[18] and Honor still is, in the UK, the normal spelling for a person's name. |

Besides - didn't you hear this:
This is very interesting.
Even though the letters are mixed in the following text, most people have no trouble reading it!
Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae.

If you can´t read this, you can find original text here!
According to research at Cambridge University, it doesn´t matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be at the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole.
