Incidentally, how do you make things bold, italic, etc?

I promise I'm not going to use it as thickly-spread as this joker!

You should see Sprig and I tell him off simultaneously in  the Da Vinci Code thread!

You hit the tag button with the appropriate style on it, and then you put your text *between* the brackets--the part that our friend Darth up there missed.

When you reply, above the smilies, you can find all kinds of neat looking buttons.  While I have no idea what most of these do, the ones with "B" "I" "U" and that weird looking S will make your words bold, italicized, underlined, or crossed-out.  The hard part is to press the button first, then write the text inbetween the buttons.  As seen here:

The bold button was pressed, but he failed to move the curser to the asterick.

Your atrocious grammar is appauling, almost as appauling as the fact that you refuse to learn what JP has so graciously pointed out to you in regards to how to correct it.

But I do suppose you might have reason to be proud of yourself, after all you did outsmart a simple computer program and manage to say a *gasp* naughty word,   using only the mental capacity of a retarded squirrel. Give youself a pat on the back and go away.

4 Observations and a Question
(About DARTH_CAPITAL)


a) Luke Skywalker is not friends with any Darths (and no, I don't "really think I'm the best when it comes to star wars" .
b) Neither Luke Skywalker or I have had a "s.e.x change".
c) Luke Skywalker has nothing to do with my analogy of this forum being like a lunatic asylum.
d) It seems that every thread he'd posted in has been reduced to ruins.
e)Why the heck is this joker still in this community when it's clear he can't contribute constructively ???

By the way, JP, it's "sentence", not "sentance". The latter makes it seem you are writing with an accent. Your corrections, however, are otherwise quite nice.
Title: Re: EDGE CHRONICLES
Post by: Harbinger on March 17, 2006, 11:27:07 PM
And, according to at least some, it is acceptable to start a sentence with the word "but."

Title: Re: EDGE CHRONICLES
Post by: Archon on March 19, 2006, 01:36:56 PM
Please tell me that English is not your first language. The word "and" is what is known as a conjunction, and although there are cases where conjunctions are used without commas, they are also very commonly used in addition to commas. If you had read the FAQ, you should know, or at least suspect, that you are on a forum full of editors and writers. You are not going to win a grammar war. What you can do is just use decent grammar. That won't win you the war, but it counts as an honorable surrender, and I think you will find that people will be much more receptive to what you are trying to say. Next chapter, we'll work on expressing coherent thoughts. Assuming you have coherent thoughts. But that is a matter for another day.

Your have failed to properly insult my name; Prepare to Die.

In case you haven't noticed, I happen to have been around for longer than you, and to have started numerous threads with numerous replies, thus outstripping your 'accomplishments'. I find it funny how you threaten to smack me down. For you to do this I would have needed to have done something to warrant a smackdown, such as behaving how you yourself have been. Also, judging by how badly you failed insulted my name I am, quite frankly, unimpressed or threatend in any way, so do your worst, please; I'll enjoy laughing at it.

Coherent thoughts? I don't think he has thoughts at all!
On a completely separate topic,  it really is a season for bans, isn't it?
On another topic, has anyone else noticed similarities in Cheruboy and Dankezman posts? The awful insults, the "trying to dig out of a hole yet falling in deeper" phase?
And, last topic of all, didn't Cheruboy get banned?
