Or type slightly slower, to make as small amount of spelling mistakes as you can.

Ok back to business. Some one said about a long nose bus.


Long nose versions tend to predominate so, iaindx, you may want to try one of those after you get the flat front one worked out.

You could try, but it's a bit more complicated than your previous bus, which wasn't good enough, since I had to change it. Why don't you try another block-shaped bus first?

It hardly seems fair for you to pick at him for every mistake when you and a number of other posters in this thread regularly make spelling mistakes and use incorrect grammar. As an example, here's the "attempted translation" you posted:
jpmaster wrote:
iaindx (Attempted Translation wrote:By the way, I am not so good at spelling so i use abbrieviate words. For example 'u' for you. et cetera
Notice that:
  1. The closing parenthesis after "Translation" has been omitted.
  2. The second "I" is in lowercase.
  3. "Abbreviate" was neither spelled nor conjugated correctly.
  4. There is no comma, colon, or any other punctuation after the "For example".
  5. "et cetera" comes after the period, yet it is in lowercase, it has no period afterwards to indicate the end of the sentence, and it makes no sense as a standalone sentence.
I realize this is only one example; that's because I'm trying not to derail this thread again. :)

Although, it is far better than what Iaindx comes out with. Suprisingly my method of presenting my thought does not annoy people, this is because it is how everyone else does it and at 3 posts your hardly an authority figure.

I have the right to point out mistakes, after all. Iaindx did not tell you to f**k off dick head. So...point made.

You contribute to the community and have someone insult you for no reason. Once completed you may PM me with a request to join the 'Pointing out mistakes society'

Aankhen on the forums! :shock:

Its blasphemy!

It's pretty obvious this topic has been done to death. I think it should be locked, and if iaindx wishes, he can start a new thread free from such flaming. We have made our opinions out, and all that can be done is what happens when the moderators and admins discuss over it in the Private forum.

wow! They have a private forum. I knew there were secrets hidden.
Indeed, i agree with Born Acorn.

People shouldn't be insulting you for no reason. Could you provide a link to the exchange? No doubt it was a simple misunderstanding.
