Depends how badly you failed surely. What if you tried to poison someone but instead accidentally ended up making them a really nice cup of tea?

Even worse... Your intention was to ruin their day (by killing them) and you made it better ergo your result was inept

Forum auto-correct

I just realised this forum auto-corrects certain grammar errors. E.g. 'could_of' is changed to 'could_have'. Try it without underscores and see for yourself. could have. What other things (apart from expletives getting swapped for asterisks) does the forum silently auto-correct?

I've added another one since that thread.

How about incrementally increasing page loading time for an individual, for each spelling and grammatical error they make?

Throw in the occasional page load at full speed to remind them what life could be like if they weren't such a bumbling half-wit

Thank you to whoever coded this feature in, such that we never have to experience the pain of reading "would <of>".

Now can we fix "there", "their" and "they're". I'm looking at you @Matrix

Its almost as bad as people saying "top draw" when the phrase is "top drawer"

I would .of liked to go their but you're nan said not to, and that I should .of said hi too her on the way they're.

Please can we also code out the word "noone", it isn't a word and it irritates me no end that people think it is, let alone use it.

You do realise that the link you posted states that "no one" is the correct spelling?

Do you have a way of tallying up how many times this auto correct has been prompted?

also Any chance of finding out, who the biggest offenders are?

Nope.

I refer the honourable gentleman to the reply I gave some moments ago.

Yes? I don't get why you're confused about that? My post clearly states that "nóóne" isn't a word, and it should be coded out i.e. automatically replaced with 'no one' like 'would óf' is being replaced with 'would have'. The link backs up my stance that "nóóne" is the incorrect spelling.

Looks like the mods have already made this change, hence the need to use ó.

I look forward to my return to the dial up days then

Thread title sugests outrage.

@Diddums doesn't once say he's outraged in the thread.

I call clickbait!

 

[Zefan]

Could would should have tried a bit harder.

:edit: Meh I give up, mods have got it locked down hard. I'm still waiting for any of them brave enough to accept my epic choose your own adventure quest to change disk to disc in an offending thread title.

I could care less.
