LOL...Did this post wander away from the neverending thread? It's uselessness would be perfect there!

Actually, I never lost any sleep over this one. There are commericals I have hated, tho, so I can sympathise with you.

yeah, it's pretty stupid. not annoying stupid, but "what-the-h***-were-the-marketing-people-thinking" stupid. maybe it was a bad day at the office for these guys so they wanted to take it out on the TV viewers (?)...

Mxy, you may find this offensive, but can't you cherck your spelling before posting? I know I may make a few keyboard typos, but your grammar has been getting really bad. At once point, I have to GUESS what the words are before I can make any sense of the word. Why not 'preview the post' or crack open a dictionary. I mean, the word 'board' is up on top the screen, yet you spell it 'bourd'. I'm sorry if you're finding this offensive, but I'm sure I'm not the only aggrivated by having to guess their way through your posts becuase your grammar and puncuation is non - existant.

If I may...Mxy, you strike me as intelligent enough of a person to make good posts, but I have to agree on this spelling thing. It just takes a little time to run it thru a spell checker, or use a dictionary. You're a great poster, but sometimes when people spell words wrong in their posts, it looks unintelligent. That's not to say you are unintelligent, as I am sure you're not, but hopefully you will work to do better! Look forward to seeing more posts from you!

its not offensive, is their a spell check? if so i guess i did not notice it. sorry, but when i tipe i make alot of errors. i am not very good at typing. i have a better grammer when i right stuff although i have aweful hand writing. the punctuation is just being lazy. i will try and be more careful. the capitalization is also just being lazy. and i am naturally a bad speller. so add that and bad typing. its pretty bad grammer now the boards mispelling was just a dumb mistake although i did it twice.

sorry

Brian had to take down the spell check program they used as they were going to start charging toonzone a fee to use it. Do what I'd do, and check the spelling in Mircrosoft Word. It might be a pain right now, but I do believe Brian is working on getting a new spell checker for the boards. I'll ask Harl about it.

Copy and paste. Like I said, it'd be alot of trouble. It's not the best solution, but a possible one. I am going to find out if they are going to get that spell checker back on the boards, that would be the best thing. If I were you, I'd rather get tired of doing the spell check in Microsoft Word first then cutting the corrected text from there and pasting it on the boards. It would get old fast.
