generally, it's kind of difficult to restrain somebody from saying something in an open forum.

I think spelling bee champion is awesome - and if you didn't like it you would not give him/her so much attention by starting a thread about him/her - so I say ban 3ifs!!!

Bula ... "second" as opposed to "sceond", "here" as opposed to "hrere."

Thanks for taking the bait SBC...I actually appreciate your efforts and sarcasm. As a matter of generality, our profession does have a significant spelling problem. So anyone who stems this tide is ok by me.

hey champ :::
a comma should always be enclosed in quotes when following a quote ... "sceond," instead of "sceond",

lifeform ... the featured link does not use proper MLA citation nor Bluebook/University of Chicago formats.

Bula ... it's "burn" as opposed to "buuuurrrrn"

yo champ :
MLA does not publish online, but its in there, buddy.

spelling bee champion - most amusing really, but I understand the sentiment in wishing to eliminate him/her!

joed, it is an open forum, but it is an open forum about architecture. i have yet to see any posts by SBC that provide any relevant content.

that being said, this thread is turning out to be pretty funny. humor is an important component of archinect.

3ifs, we correct/crit/comment on everything else why not spelling? and there are alot of threads here that have nothing to do with architecture.

fakeid ... please consult the MLA guide for proper citation protocol. Quotes from screenplays or movies (i.e. Fight Club) are afforded their own type of citation.

sbc...i don't think those are actual quotes...just statements that
are similar to those made in the movie...so do they still
get quotes?

i like SBC. architectural websites, portfolios, journals, papers, etc. lose credibility when they contain typos. verbal and visual skills are BOTH important for architects. personally, I would prefer SBC to become Grammar Bee Champion. I attended to a very progressive primary school system and didnt learn what adverbs and such were until i started playing mad libs in fifth grade. i dont know what a split infinitive is. any verbal skills i have were garnered through reading and intuition, i guess.

who is Per?

Am I the only one who thinks 'small block chevy' everytime I read 'SBC'?

I also think SBC might be somebody else's alter ego.

Does not poor grammer and gradual accepting of common vernacular parralel a sort of darwinian mutative, naturally selective process by wich langauges ultimately advance?

Ever read old english? messed up. words have changed spellings, does this mean you should misspell? I think not. It looks funny.

i really, really like to spell words correctly. doesn't it just read better? it's lazy not to.

i learned to spell by reading so much when I was a kid.

bad grammar is bad,
but not-so-perfect grammar is definitely acceptable.

SPELLING BEE CHAMPION:

Please remember to capitalize the word "Please."


In addition, please try to conjugate complete sentences when you write.

I withdraw my support for banning SPELLING BEE - he/she made a fool of our simple friend evilplatypus, so that's fine by me.
