No full stop (period) at the end of your sentence? A wasted comma between "boy" and "kman!"?
You ought to practice what you preach.
since it is the "world language".
Now, not being English my mother tongue, your observation
is quite inane to be honest.
Do you feel like having a chat in Spanish? I can also do
Finnish and Estonian, if you fancy.
Edit. Oh, sorry, I forgot. You are a native English speaker so,
statistically, it is very likely that you speak only one language,
maximum two. My apologies for stressing you.

I think you should invest more of your time exposing these scoundrels if I'm absolutely honest.
In fact, you might want to start a new thread and call it "Captain Seitse's Awesome Typo Thread" where you can name and shame these 'idiots'. You could perhaps recruit others to your cause and give out special stars and promotions as and when you feel they deserve them!
Anyway, keep up the search! we're all counting on you. 🙂

Originally posted by SeitseYeah, it is quite lame, especially since everything in Finnish sounds monotone and emotionless anyway. I'd give you Popper in Finnish, but as you have probably guessed my knowledge of Finnish doesn't go far beyond swearing.
Ugh, Finnish swearing. Locals love to teach it and foreigners love to learn it.
Why? It escapes me. Mainly because Finnish swearing is quite lame.

If not, what were you doing in Finland then? 🙂
