Chat Thread 34: Something I Shouldn't Be Chatting About

Rook · Post by **Rook** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 11:42 pm

I think that Housepets! readers are probably the nicest, most sane forum members on the internet.

Post by **Sleet** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 11:46 pm

Except for that Sleet weirdo.

Wanderer · Post by **Wanderer** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 11:49 pm

Sure they greeted me when I returned after years, but something made me feel unwelcome.
Maybe I just felt awkward? Who knows.

Rook · Post by **Rook** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 11:50 pm

You're not weird Sleet. You're just frustrating. Because...

NONE OF US CAN FIGURE OUT YOU DOG DARN GENDER!

@Wanderer You're always welcome here!

Wanderer · Post by **Wanderer** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 11:55 pm

Thank you, Rook! It does hold true that Housepets readers have the nicest people in them.

I'm sure the issue of Sleet's gender has been brought up and answered multiple times, could we please stop caring about his gender and appreciate Sleet as an individual.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 11:59 pm

SOME of us can figure out it's gender.

Also it's less frustrating if you just don't worry about it.

That's being spoiled by a great community like this. Other places just seem rude.

@Wanderer
I know. I was just jesting ;D

Sleet. We love you.

Well, I don't really know you that well though...

*shrugs* Eh. What the heck.

*hug*

Actually the evil Sleet spider is brainwashing you with it's dissension ray.

*joins hug spree*

...well I did kind of leave abruptly without any formal goodbye or anything. Kind of vanished and returned, there was 1 or 2 people that remembered me but most just thought I was an annoying newbie -_- which made me a tiny bit mad.

Rook · Post by **Rook** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 12:11 am

Ouch. What forum was this? Or do you wish it to remain anonymous?

I'd rather not say... you probably won't know but anyway I'm not going back there.
Just know that they are quite the presumptuous, elitist, condescending group

(No its not like 4chan or anything)

Randomextra · Post by **Randomextra** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 12:22 am

I've noticed this is a very friendy community,plus this is the only one with free hugs *hugs sleet cuase everyone is doing it* and everyone likes hugs.

Rook · Post by **Rook** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 12:26 am

Uh... There are like five people hugging Sleet at one time...

It's... getting... cramped... ack!

Ebly · Post by **Ebly** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 12:31 am

Quick hugs are Sleet's weakness if he is to be stopped from brainwashing the entire forum we must all hug him

*joins in on the hug, duh*

That might explain Dissension's signature.

But I only kid! *Hugs Sleet as well*

They say those that look directly into an imploding hug go mad and then explode.
So nobody knows
Just one of those unsolved mysteries like what happens to the light when you close the fridge, or bigfoot's existence, or what happens to the light in bogfoot's fridge when you close it.

It's definitely always on, but the exposure and focus are always too blurry to really tell.
They've found tracks in the leftovers though.

Also I never spell definitely right and Chrome's spellcheck is never able to recognize deffinately.

No spellcheck there's not an effeminate chance that anything happened.

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 2:38 pm

Chance the raccoon isn't that effeminate!

So today, I was almost crushed in the cafeteria. My ribs hurt.

And yes Housepets has a very nice fan basis.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 3:03 pm

from now on i'm glint to net use the backspace key and use the first item on chrome's spellcheck.

actually not but that would be fun to do sometime because i use the backspace key a lot.

Fri Jan 27, 2012 3:14 pm

I use the backspace key a lot too, but somn\etimes I miss and hit the \ instead

that's odd, i hit the = key nearly exclusively as a typo for the backspace key.

de-finite-ly. That's how I remember it.

Anybody else find the =/+ key to be placed inconvenient close to the backspace?

that's how i remember it to. but after years of spelling it that way mistakenly, it becomes a habit so if i'm not thinking when I type then that's how it comes out.

CaptainPea · Post by **CaptainPea** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 4:13 pm

I was never able to spell "maybe" until I was like 11
I always wrote "mabye" until I realized that it was just "may be".

Also I always misspell separate as "seperate" because that looks closer to the way I pronounce it.

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 4:22 pm

I have always spelled every word correctly since I was born.

Kitela · Post by **Kitela** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 4:23 pm

I'm 18 and I still have trouble spelling words with double letters like "efficient" and "horrifying"
I also can never spell "rhythm" right. :/

Gotta love spell check.

KJOokami · Post by **KJOokami** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 4:38 pm

I'm certainly not perfect like Sleet, but I've been a pretty efficient speller from a young age. I got into a strange habit of spelling every word a person said in conversations with me, conversations with others, even things like church services and school events. And because of that I was almost constantly spelling various words in my mind for quite a few years. I don't really do it much anymore (I don't really have any need to anymore), but it definitely helped me with my spelling over the years.

Because of that, I can't say I've really ever had consistent trouble with any words in particular. Though I certainly still have the occasional brain-lapse where I'll completely forget how a word is spelled, after which I'll have to scratch my head and wonder how I managed to forget that word.

Kitela · Post by **Kitela** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 4:45 pm

I blame spell check for my bad spelling, hehe. I've been using forums and word documents since I was 12, so it just became a habit just to right click on a misspelled word. Grammar and spelling have always been my weakness in school, too.

That's not how you spell "hatched"
