THE, not TEH!

It’s obviously a typo. Not nearly as annoying as tacking an apostrophe to anything with an “s” at the end.

For instance - apostrophe mayhem in this paragraph, along with other goodies:

Teh car’s were crossing the road’s on Route 4. They came along some big tree’s, and all the driver’s thought theyd stop for a bit. “Ill just stop here for a while.” one driver said, "Its been a long drive, and theres a lake over there with some duck’s in it. Teh other’s thought theyd stop and look at the lake and the duck’s to.

I could go on, but the anal-retentive part of me cannot bear any more.

I’m a newbie here and I knew what it meant. Believe it or not, this is not the only place on the great big internet that uses this expression.

OK, I admit it, I have no idea what half of the letter combinations on this thing stand for, but I will say that I know my reason for spelling “the” wrong is sheer laziness for using the backspace key.

Daniel, you are an idiot. DNFTT is a netwide acronym; it is in no way exclusive to the SDMB. You gotta get out of the wolves’ den more often. It seems a bit insular in there.

As for the OP, there are several words that I consistently misspell when typing. Since I obviously know better, I can’t explain it. I guess my typing mittens need to be re-trained.

Ah, such fairness & unbiased writing on the part of the staff. Oh the agony, the mortal wound. I have been flamed, crushed, slammed. :rolleyes:

Bite me, dog boy. There’s nothing that says I have to be fair in my assessment of your character or intellect. And just for your fucking information, you ain’t the only clod I’ve called an idiot since I’ve become a moderator. Additionally, I’ve held this opinion since shortly after you registered, which is a couple months before I was appointed to this position. You will also note, this is not my forum; my posts in here carry no more weight than yours, so put a sock in it.

But just to smooth your ruffled lupine fur, I’ll state here, that I think everyone is an idiot. Now what could be more fair than that?

I don’t know when I will lose my newbie status but I can comment that I don’t always spell check everything I type. Catch me at three am and the last thing I will be concerned with is a few typos. I always have trouble typing poeple… people. Fingers always seem to get it backwards. So sue me.
Teh end.

Just because you didn’t know the term when you came here, doesn’t mean other hadn’t heard of it. I’ve heard of “trolls” since BBS’s were popular, at least since the mid 80’s. (yeah, it’s been that long.)

I’m willing to give him a break. :smiley:

Mighty strong talk form a man who hasn’t seen his own toes in a decade. :smiley: True, your POSTS carry no more weight…
:smiley: :stuck_out_tongue:

You know back to the op. The occasional use of teh is ok. But, there is one poster in particular who has posted about 20 times who has not once used the. THAT really annoys the shite out of me.

Okay, as long as we’re doing apparent typos and misspellings, what’s up with people continually using “rascist?” Is this some hip new combination of “racist” and “fascist?” Is it an alternate spelling from across the pond? What gives?

Rascist. It’s pronounced like wrasslin. It’s the hick way to say it.

Coldfire Inc. would like to point out that dog boy is in now way affiliated with Clog Boy [sup]TM[/sup].

The fucking horror. I’m with you, Unc. Daniel’s a few cylinders short of a two-stroke at times.

Well, it seems for once I agree with you UncleBeer. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an intelligent post come from daniel’s vacuous vault of wisdom.

I can attest to that.

This is coming from the poster who has not yet had one intelligent post, or a moment of wisdom. FF you spend all your wasted life posting in MPSIMS and the PIT. You don’t dare stick your snot-dripping nose in GD or GQ, where the big Dogs run. Since most of MY posts are in GD, where you are conspicous by your absence (and please keep it that way), your opinion ain’t shit. The serious posters here respect my posts, even if they don’t always agree with them.
You’re nothing but a bug splat on the windshield of my world.

Puztes.

That’s in the eye of the beholder. I happen to think the same of you. The only difference is: I’m right.

The big heads, more like it. That is, if they’re anything like you. What’s so fucking great about GD or GQ? I have fun my way, you have fun your way. Saying that GQ and GD are better than MPSIMS or the PIT is like comparing apples and bananas. (Oh, hey! There’s a new GD thread for you! “Which one is better, apples or bananas?”)

You’re right, it isn’t. It’s much, much better than shit.

Well, I can already think of two who don’t.

Actions speak louder than words. If I’m so insignificant, then why did you even bother responding to me?

Puztes? Hmmmm, isn’t that a village in South America?

I’m not sure Freak. I think it’s the plural of puzte. Now what a puzte is I’m not sure. But a search on google turned up this gem.

something to do with hindi or india I believe.
