As you journey to the center of the world, feel free to read the death announcements of those dwarves that suffer your neglect.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.

Artifact is interchangeable with artefact.  I fell foul of that one.
Dwarves I always use it, but shouldn't it technically be dwarfs...?
Eureka was intended ironically, surely.
Dwarf but Dorf is cute!
that is all  That is all.

Just playing with you, I agree really  :)

While we're on this subject...

They're: A contraction of "they are".
Example: "They're going to eat -kitten tallow biscuits-."
Example 2: "They're not fast enough to catch the kittens, so we must starve."

Their: Indicates possession.
Example: "Their +pig tail socks+ are better than my -pig tail socks-."
Example 2: "Their narrow clothing will not fit us."

There: Generally used to indicate a location or a state of existence.
Example: "The goblin that shot me ran over there."
Example 2: "There are not enough -gabbro coffins- for all of us."

Combined now: "They're going to shoot us with their -iron crossbows- in the woods over there."

I ran away for a week or so when I realized I couldn't turn off my new name after April Fools.  What happened, are we having a surge of Internet People who can't type?

I have no problem with the occasional misspelling. And, being a non-native english speaker, I tend to misspell a lot myself.

Also, I find some misspellings amusing.

So i herd u liek dorfs...

I cant help but laugh when I think that someone, somewhere, will eventually make hentai of Dwarf Fortress.


And it will undoubtedly be hilarious.

HOW TO SPELL CORRECTLY

TYPE IN ALL CAPS

SUPPL3MENT SOM3 LETT3RS FOR NUMB3RS

BREAKZ OUT THE ZZ, TRUNC8 AS MUCH AS U CAN TO M8K ME H8 U!

Seriously, why begin a discussion on the proper usage of spelling and grammar with a complete disregard for standard procedures of capitalization.

That rather sounds like some kind of money scheme.

I don't know why any of you are actually paying me any attention. Go back under your rocks and leave me alone. Wait, that was my rock, and I was supposed to leave you alone... I'm so confused. Good thing nobody can understand what I am trying to say, since I don't spell correctly, or use good grammery, or anything of that nature, though at least my run-on sentences make judicious use of commas! That's my story and I'm sticking with it, or something of that nature.

Geeze, you guys need some fabric softener!

What, you're still here? You must want to hear my song...
