Is it a vaccum or a vacuum?

The spell check here believes that either is correct.

Thanks :)

It was actually a rhetorical question and meant more as a comment on the abilities of the BYOAC Spell Checker.


Edited to fix a spelling error.  How ironic :)

I don't have an automatic way to add words through the forum interface. But, if you guys send me a list of things it's missing or giving false positives, that would help.

I stopped using it because I usually only need it for a word or two, and if I didn't know how to spell it, I wasn't too aware of it. 

Dictionary extension for Firefox is more betterer for me, but Stingray develops calluses (callusi?) if he has to click too many buttons in a day

Ya know, I went and looked.  You're talking smack to ME, and I'm only a GAME behind you?!?!?

Go ahead, look at my roster.  Tell me the last time I CHANGED it.  This INCLUDES having TWO QB's on IR! 

You're the WORST smack talker in the WORLD, bragging about having a single game lead over a guy who hasn't touched his roster in SIX FRIGGEN WEEKS! 

You're the worst kind of trash talker.  The kind who's a coward to say anything until they think they're in the best position possible.  You are Sinistar.

How the hell am i in the best possible position?, like you said, I'm up one game over you.  ???

I only entered this league to trash talk to you BYOACers.

Don't represent yourself with your name and say it's a free league and you don't look at it. PUNK.  ;D  I do have other things to do also.

silly rabbit....

Stingray made it a point to hold off posting outside EE for quite some time to keep his post count at 7999....

I think he just decided to crawl out of EE just long enough to call you out as being childish  :police:


but that's my $.02

Yeah, because posting over 8000 times on here is what his life revolves around.  ::)

Or maybe, just maybe, we're an enjoyable bunch of guys he likes to talk to, and counting the number of his replies doesn't count for squat. 

He didn't break his 8000 cherry in THIS thread anyhoo.

Despite how it is spelled (from the title). This post sucks. I'm pretty surprised it is not in EE given that it is just one shot after another of nonsense.
