<div class="IPBDescription">Swear Filter needs an Update</div> I can't stand bad spelling of this word anymore.
I think that someone needs to update the SWEAR FILTER to include the words
"turrent"
"turrents"

And replace them with the proper spelling!

Sign my petition to have the swear filter updated to get rid of bad spelling of this word, ppl are too stupid to realize there isn't a "N" in the word!

    What I cant seem to comprehend is that you <b>actually</b> care
    Most spelling errors is because the word sounds different than it's spelt, I'm quite sure this is a "hovaring scorpian"

Being not a native english speaker I used to write turrent too for a long time. I can't really remember, but I think it was Tribes voice commands that convinced me of my error.

    Seriously, what causes "turrent" syndrome? n is nowhere near any of the other letter in turret on the keyboard, TUR-ET sounds nothing like TUR-ENT, and yet its still made (although people seem to think the n is really supposed to be in there).
  • homerxhomerx Join Date: 2003-04-01 Member: 15094Members
    Even in StarCraft, people call turrets "turreNts".

    Go figure. <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Maybe alot of people make spelling mistakes, i haven't come accross this. But that's because im too busy playing the game instead of correcting everyone's spelling error's. As long as you know what they are asking the game can go on..

    The commando should always drop as many turrants as s/he can but remember to drop wielders to keep your turrents in good shape.

    The "turrent" syndrome is pretty old... I remember seeing cases of it when I was playing Subspace WAY back in the days. (~'96)
  • SoulSkorpionSoulSkorpion Join Date: 2002-04-12 Member: 423Members
    I don't give a skulk's scrotum about filtering "ur" and suchlike, but "turrents" makes me froth at the mouth.

    "TURRENTS" IS NOT A WORD!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!

    I can't understand how this one exists. There's no n even remotely near the rest of the keys in the word "turrets", so it's not a typo. It's one MORE letter to type, so it's less convenient. It doesn't even sound like an existing, similar word.

    In short: what the hell is wrong with you people?

    You do know how incredibly amusing it is to see you froth at the mouth over something so petty right? THAT is why we do it. (most of us anyway)

    Wait, I thought we were gonna ban these nubs using turrent. You know, it doesn't edit it out, it just PMs a mod so he can ban him, forever.

    I <a href='http://moo.xhibitreign.com/Predator.wav' target='_blank'>growl like a Predator</a> at people who say 'turrents'. I wonder where it came from? I swear, you know that movie Timeline? I'll use that damn time machine, kill his great-great-great-great-great-great-great grand father, and then we will know not of this turrent.
