I don't care if someone wants to type in ebonics, i'm not going to "correct" them.....but I think you should consider how you sound if you are going to try to insult someone. Thats why I made the comment.

I think you can agree that the Chi Phi's post was more then a "simple mistake", and especially humorous, being that he was trying to defend the integrity of his fraternity. Typos don't bother me, except, as you're saying, when someone is trying to be insulting and screws it up, however, ridiculously third-grade looking posts do. Most people who post here have at least a highschool diploma, it would be nice if posts here reflect that.

I see your point...but it is also a message board. I mean, he spelled that "taht" and left a couple letters of the ends of a couple words. Big deal.

Mac'
I agree with you.
IIRC a few weeks ago something along the lines of "This is a message board, get over it. If you can not get over it, get off of it" was posted towards me when I posted something that ruffled a few feathers.

This thread was always about how women, specifically minority women, are portrayed and treated. Chi Phi was simply used as an illustration.

If you read the article that he posted, you will see that it goes with the REAL topic.

After 30+ years, research is still finding the same "revelations."

Here's a study that found that humans can in fact die from a lack of oxygen:
