Same here, I don't really bother with a spellchecker online so my spelling is usualy the same.

I haven't got the time for spellchecker. And i'm relatively competant in my spelling ability so I dont see the need to use it.

My Macbook has a spellchecker built-in, so every word I misspell is underlined red, no matter which program I'm using. :worried: Kinda cool, but a bit too 'big-brother' sometimes.

I've switched over to using Safari as a web browser and it automatically underlines spelling errors. I've only made a mistake thrice so far.

I'm nicer online then in RL. But thats only because of the edit button.

Other then that I'm about the same. I'm a little over honest on my view points which pretty much sets the tone of my life.

I have a spellchecker in Firefox, too. Most of the errors I catch are typos.

Nah I'm just a retard.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

I can hardly talk.

I'm actually nicer online. That said until rescently online teasing and light insults pissed me off. Whereas they never did in real life.

In real life I'm very unforgiving of small mistakes and incompetence.. perhaps that's why I don't have many Republican friends :p Also I'm a bit of a dare devil. When I met my old room mate he jokenly pulled out a pocket knife on me and I pulled out my finger nail clippers, took out the filer and attacked. Almost got into a fight with a Ultimate Fighter.. probably a good thing I avoided that... So I guess I don't back down in real life.

Ah-ha I've figured it out, I'm a bit more like Boush Munro the breen from our Daystrom RP in real life. Yes I would shoot someone in my command ;)

After reading the thread I was thinking... its too bad Blackstar got banned before this thread got started. I'd be intersted in hearing her answer.
