Time for a spelling lesson

[Gamer3427]

I like big words and complicated sentences most of the time, yet my ability to spell is terrible in most instances. If it wasn't for spell check systems on things like these forums, it would be rare for me to spell half of what I say correctly. I do understand where you're coming from though, OP. But you do also have to remember that this is the internet. People spell things however they wish, and just expect everyone to know what they're talking about. In most cases it's annoying, but in the case of que vs queue, it's understandable in part because it's common terminology that is used within the game by it's player-base. Complaining about it is like complaining that people abbreviate dungeon names, or even other player's names. It's a shortened variation on a common word used for the purpose of faster typing as much as due to a lack of knowledge about it's original spelling, which while may not be "technically" correct, is still acceptable so long as everyone knows what it means.....

Furthermore, if you look at it from a historical standpoint, words are shortened or changed all the time as culture evolves, throughout the history of civilization. Complaining about the dialect, (yes, though in text format, it IS a type of dialect), used by internet members is rather pointless unless you intend to complain that we don't use the same syntax or words that were used hundreds of years ago by our ancestors. The shortening of this word, even if it's due to a lack of spelling abilities, is just a sign of an ever evolving language. English being the most common language in the world, as well as the "trade language", means that it will continue to change to fit the needs, accents, or cultures of the people who are using it. I sympathize with your point, but disagree that it is an issue.....

Heck, I just want people to use the most basic of punctuation marks, the period. Please tell me where one sentence ends and the next begins so I don't have to to reread the paragraph three times to figure out what you're saying.
