It breaks my heart to see the decline of literacy in our beloved game...

He can't speak complete "leet" yet. 
Anyway, that's nothing. if you saw how kids in my school write, you'd cry. A few basics:
-They always use their. And they spell it thier, at that. "let's go thier".
- Always use it's and where, not its and were, respectively.
-To, too, two? Nah. They use 2.
-Punctuation marks are a thing of the past.
-Never use two letters next to each other. "thats a realy col leter".
-Since some words in English have silent letters, they apparently become invisible, too. "wat".
-Don't remove an e or anything if adding "ing". "haveing".
-Much like punctuation, capitalization is a thing of the past. Unless the word in question is their own name. If it's someone else's name or anything else, it's lowercased like everything else.
-Why spell when it still sounds the same? Ogre = "ogir"; bored = "board"; which = "witch".
And this doesn't apply just to my school alone, it's spreading around the whole country. I'm just glad I'm one of the ones who were taught correctly.

I've even seen otherwise intelligent Geas players calling them "ogers". Ok, I get not being able to spell, but when you've fought hundreds of the things you'd think you'd have actually read their name once or twice.tessa wrote: -Why spell when it still sounds the same?

"Oger" or "Ogers" are the german word for ogre/ogres and 'Kobold" is the german word for "goblin".Kortha wrote: I've even seen otherwise intelligent Geas players calling them "ogers".

Yes, and "dick" is the German word for "plump", but we still don't call our overweight characters that. We should just stick to English in Geas.anglachel wrote:"Oger" or "Ogers" are the german word for ogre/ogres and 'Kobold" is the german word for "goblin".Kortha wrote: I've even seen otherwise intelligent Geas players calling them "ogers".

That'd be well and good, except the particular person I'm thinking of is a native English speaker.anglachel wrote: "Oger" or "Ogers" are the german word for ogre/ogres

Nifty...all the games I've played that had kobolds in them and I didn't know that.
