No one here would do that to you.

You would just find a post here about your post with the misplaced apostrophe!

Someone actually recently sent me a DM to fix one of my mistakes before it was noticed and showed up here.
Actually, I thought the rep was hilarious. Busted by the Apostrophe Police! I think I failed to convey that since I was using a tablet and I have to hunt and peck to type on it so I pare down those posts.

Thanks for the welcome to the Writer's Room!

If I'm ever called such a name, the sting will be considerably lessened if your pronunciation is used.

I could be missing something and this is just a new word? Something that makes your eyes soar upwards. I'm going to check and see if there is any such word because it is in reference to wind farms and they do block part of the sky. It must be a new word, right?

Maybe it's something related to iPod, iPhone, iIlliterate, etc.

Silly rabbit. That's why God invented editors.

Hello DewDropInn. Any rep that is rude should be reported to a Mod. We don't play that here.

I have an iPad and believe me, when I start chatting with my friends while using my iPad it is ALL "u" for you, "k" of okay, etc.

That first one put some weird pictures in my head.

Dew, you should go back and start with the original thread from 2009. Hours of entertainment!

This thread is the continuation of that one.

LOL. This reminds me of that skit done by the Wayan brothers on " In Living Color".

This website has some pretty funny spelling errors.
