Cna yuo raed tihs? Olny 55 plepoe out of 100 can.

i cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uine rvtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? yaeh! and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

A very interesting read, even though the rhodes scholars on board aren't going to like it!!!

I guess I have a strange mind, I didn't have any problems reading it.

ihamner · Feb 16, 2008

Even with a headache I could read it but it gives me the creeps! Why not use spell check and correct English? I realize this was just for fun but it still creeps me out.

arkjarhead · Feb 16, 2008

I had no problems either, but of course I can't spell worth a flip to begin with.

layoutshooter · Feb 16, 2008

Very interesting, BUT, since in can't read or write spelling is not important!!! Layoutshoote

alborada · Feb 16, 2008

I don't have no problems to, but of course this is my real world amd my spelling I like so muche this ..............

buckeyewildman · Feb 16, 2008

I am a lowly road scholar. But even I know enough to capitalize "Rhodes Scholars".

And why would that be???

It was just a reference to the rhodes scholar "wanna-be's" on the site and therefore did not deserve the dignity of capitalization!!

Because the Rhodes Scholarship Fund was set up by a Mr. Cecil Rhodes for recipients to attend Oxford University. All proper names deserving capitalization.

I could quote a Dan Akroid line to Jane Curtain, but I won't.

Doggie Daddy care to counter?

Or you could be man enough to come out and say it here for everyone to read......we all know what you're trying to say. Just what is your problem with what I posted???

arkjarhead · Feb 16, 2008

I guess you could also say a Rhodes Scholar is someone who graduated from Rhodes College in Memphis. It's a very expensive private university.

Yes, it's all fun and games until you think one of your "buddies" has been insulted, eh??

The quotes that you speak of..... one used the word sl-- and the other used bi---........which one would you like to choose for me in front of all these people?

Moot has a couple (dozen) buddies on EO, but if you were referring to me, you are way off base. I never wanted to be a Rhodes Scholar, but even us high school dropouts can understand why "sarcasm does not an argument make"......
And, I'm not insulted when you disagree with me, either - it's still all fun & games, far as I'm concerned

hondaking38 This is a good and funny post but some people seem to have a chip on their shoulder and can not just have fun with out getting a dig in.
In this day and age it is very easy to copy and paste your post in a spell checker and check the spelling. Now as for grammar I am the worst and I am still working on this area... so sometimes you do have to decipher what I am trying to say.

I still think it's all good fun but I'm wondering why, as a moderator, you would be more concerned with a chip on my shoulder than another member insinuating that I'm a sl-- or a bi---??

Digs and insinuations are made on this forum all the time and it's quite all right as long as none are pointed to the "in" crowd.

Have you all lost your flippin minds.

Would you be so kind as to specify who, exactly, is the "in" crowd to which you refer? Cause I would hate to post something that's not all right!
