Guest T-Bone Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 [quote name='fin-sta' post='1104549' date='Oct 29 2006, 07:26 PM'] I do use proper words just not proper puchuation. [/quote] "Wont" is not just an improper word, it is a non-word. [quote name='Theunknown101' post='1105056' date='Oct 30 2006, 10:19 AM'] No one has perfect spelling. [/quote] True, but we can all make the effort. I am an atrocious speller, but I make the effort to ensure that I very rarely publish something with misspelt words.

Guest T-Bone Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 You sure? Because I knew that wont was a real word. I don't know what I was thinking. I use wont all the time, as pretentious pricks like me are wont to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
