  1. bulletin not bulliten you morons by atari2600 · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I'll bite this - i have absolutely no patience for people who cannot spell. When i see an online website which has content with bad spelling, that site in my opinion is second grade. The word is spelt as "bulletin" - enough morons on slashdot cannot spell for crying out loud - now CmdrTaco doesn't mind the crap in posts as well. Yay!! Stop spelling words the way you pronounce them. Go back to school - take an English course - buy a self-help book - please do something instead of posting on slashdot. I remember a few years back when /. used to be a nice place to visit - all i see now are teen kiddie trolls who cannot spell. Go and mod me as low as you can. Also sadly the people who spell words they way they pronounce them have English as their first language.
