The idea is that it takes extra effort and time to write properly, and they’d rather save the time. If you can still be understood, what’s the harm? While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.

My wish would be to be amazingly good looking. As I'm currently very fat, even for a gamer, I think that would improve my life the most. I'm already well educated, healthy, and while not rich, I'm not exactly worried about money. Any actual superpowers would draw attention or be misused, and I wouldn't want to gain anything that I could get through work and effort.

FOOL!!!! It's simple. Go to small comventions, andhave the comic book peoples sign their stuff. That way, when they get rich/famous, you already have it!
On to my wishes.
1. Multiple wishes. (not infinate!)
2. Inner peace.
3. Wolverine like claws, or powers like Johnny Ohm. (Marvel Nemsis FTW!)
4. A really badass zen garden.
5. For my brothers pitbull to keep living. He was hit by a bus, survived, and has been given more than he could ever have hoped for, but has not eaten
in three days, and has blood in his stool. Failing that, let him die peacefully. Rest in peace Rocky, the greatest pitbull I've ever known.

Molecules and not atoms don't give you that power. You would just be able to rearrange matter, not really turn it into things.

Well, if he had absolute power over a molecule he could also have power over it's constituent parts. That would allow him to do whatever he wanted to the atoms that make it up.
Still can't do gak to ionic compounds though.

When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

"And what is wrong with their life? What on earth is less reprehensible than the life of the Levovs?"
- American Pastoral, Philip Roth
Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed at him, we leagued with him, old chum.
No soldier's paid to kick against His powers.
We laughed - knowing that better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives; not men, for flags. |

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made. |

That would eliminate ALL genies then. Personnally I never met a genie that gave only 1 wish, so if I ever did I would wish to see a genie that gave the correct amount of wishes. Kind of like asking to see their manager or something because apparantly, its not allowed to wish for more wishes.
