Hi folks. Sorry to hear about all the drama you've suffered. I'm not exactly sure what the changes to AS are but I hate the fact they are seemingly dumbing down the game.

Two times I've posted grammar mistakes from Tiggs in Stratics DEV chats and both times the posts were removed within hours. Confusing the words then and than might seem petty to some folks but I think your grammar is a direct reflection of your intellect. And frankly I wouldn't hire someone who didn't know the differences between the words then and than or tried to spell definitely with an "a". If you allow/ accept or promote dumbing down within a corporation don't be surpised if that trickles down into the game.

I'm sure this post is headed for deletion as well. But I felt compelled to show my support for your anger.

I'm sure you checked and double checked this post for errors and probably are still sweating bullets at the possibility of an overlooked misspell.

Wow. I dont know what to say. 'Who cares' springs to mind immediately however, but more seriously. I dont agree with grammar being a direct reflection of a person's intellect. Sometimes you may be tired, typing fast, or just plain make a mistake.

EDIT : Or in my case, quite often just cant be bothered to double check your post

Congrats for having the only threadthat doesn't mention theOkram2k situationon the entire AS front page. Oh shoot, did I just ruin it for you?

I don't think I've ever been surpised...

also dumbing isn't a word.

And thats just at first glance.

Normally I would never correct someone's spelling or grammar, as I am horribly dyslexic (I had to cheat off your post to spell the word grammar right), but in this case I'll make an exception.

I'm not even going to go into what I think of your theory on grammar and intellect. But crucifying someone over just two grammar mistakes (minor ones at that) seems silly. But making a spelling mistake and using a made-up word while doing so is just dumb.

To use a made-up word of my own:
I think people would be happier if they chillaxed and were lessup tight about things.
