I don't know which is funnier, watching people in Trade Chat trying to figure out what to call someone with the Inscription (http://www.wowinsider.com/category/inscription/) profession or watching the people who get upset by it. "Inscriptionator" versus "It's SCRIBE, you morons!!" -- they are both pretty funny.
Trade Chat (http://www.wowinsider.com/tag/trade-chat/), as you know, includes a lot of things besides Trade chatter: Guild recruitment, LFG, general help, gold spam (http://www.wowinsider.com/2007/05/08/the-gold-spam-drinking-game/) and, of course, every topic under the sun. It also includes a lot of typos and grammar errors. Some of them are pretty benign, but others are so bad it's hard to decipher the meaning. And then there are the pet peeves (http://www.wowinsider.com/2007/07/17/you-know-you-are-too-old-to-play-wow-when/).
You're a literate bunch. Do you correct people in Trade Chat? If not, do you mind or care when people do? And doesn't it take longer to type "ne1" than it does to type "anyone"? I know it does for me.http://www.wowinsider.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.wowinsider.com)Breakfast Topic: Are you a Trade Chat grammar narc?
