Is the forum going downhill, due to over emotional people

In light of Lynchman's mega troll which led to an unprecedented outpouring of grief, bed wetting and poetry writing is it time for the forum to toughen up and get back to talking about bikes, flaming newbies and abusing each other in porn/football/current projects?

Ha. I don't mind, got a poem out of it that I like.

The obligatory wrong comma before 'due', originally a dogsballs innovation, still cracks me up in these threads. I don't know why. I guess I just get over-emotional about it.

But Oliver, you didn't pick up on his omitted hyphen!

over-emotional

Bugger, you did.

It's becoming like a cult.

I limit myself to the typos that create funny, often unintended meanings. As it happens, Lynchman produced quite a few good ones. I liked his mis-spelling of 'Haribo' as 'Hairbo', for instance.

NB an omitted hyphen is, of course, a spelling mistake and not a grammar issue. I also wouldn't use the ambiguous word 'oversight' here. :)

over·sight

noun ˈō-vər-ˌsīt

: a mistake made because someone forgets or fails to notice something
: the act or job of directing work that is being done

Bugger, you did.

Linguistic prescriptivism >>>>>>>>

'Is the forum going downhill, due to an excessive quantity of orthographical oversights' doesn't have the same ring to it, somehow.

I thought you would appreciate it. It is important to maintain the forums 'style' at all times.

The forum is constantly going down hill yet continues to gain momentum, like a lopro with twin aerospok it's carried forward with a perpetual motion of cuntardry...

#notsurewhetherthisisthecorrectuseoftheapostopheasaquotationmark

It is, but do check the spelling of the word just before 'style'. :)

There is always one!

There's only one way to stop the slide downhill, and that's for Oliver to set his poem to music and enlist some other forumgers in a dance, music and spoken word performance piece that will strike even my cynical heart with something resemebling a shadow of warmth. Come on Oliver. I'm counting on you.
