Just because the English language is derived from mistakes does not mean mistakes should be encouraged. Unless I'm reading a deep philosophical piece about the nature of humanity, I should not have to re read a post multiple times just to figure out what the hell the person is saying. Now.

I am not really sure what you're trying to accomplish here...just give us a set of Titans? Umm...why? We have Lexicanum for that, and if you really want to do something like this write an article instead. But in the name of keeping up the quality of dakka's articles I'd insist you invest in proofreading. It's Titan, not Titain, it's right, not 'Wright'. But yes....just work on your spelling. Work on your grammar, and work on your formatting, and type of information you're giving to us. Your article is very confusing, and needs a lot of editing.

Acherly I dient know that Titain was spelt wong and word must not have correct spelling.I do try with my garmmer and I know im bad at it that is because I find grammer really hard to get right.I did chek over it manny tmes.Now plese can you applogise because I find this quite offensive and I will to change my oringal post to the best of my aobbletely.

The bit in red are where you have got bits worng or just dont fit in(as well as me).Also I found this data sheet that is worth looking at: http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m2440056_Imperial_Datasheet_-_Emperor_Battle_Titan.pdf

Titians are also known as redheads, and I'd rather be around a titan having a catastrophic reactor containment failure than a pissed-off redhead.

I have no idea what titains are.

Titans are 40ks version of battlemechs, but they upped the utter ridiculousness of them to the uber-nth power.

Poke any two BL novels featuring titans and you will have at least three conflicting descriptions of the sizes.

**Anidem**

this thread makes my head hurt. . . alot

Though i actually didnt have any idea there was a class of titan above Emperor, fething thing looks like a moving hive city

**Skinnereal**

If you're using Word, 'F7' is your friend.

No I will not apologize. I don't care if you're offended or not. You...you REALLY need to invest in a spell checker. You really do. This is a text based medium, and it is ridiculouslly difficult to understand what someone is trying to say when their post is full of spelling and grammar errors. I don't care if you find grammar hard. SPELLING should not be a problem. If you think a word is spelled wrong, just hop on over to your local, friendly dictionary and look it up to make sure you get the spelling right! I'm not asking you to have perfect grammar, or spelling. Heaven knows I screw up on the details a lot. I want you to have grammar and spelling I can understand without having to read your posts 10x over.

Yes, I am a grammar Nazi. But I'm proud of being one. Just becuase you're on the Internet, does not mean you have an excuse to write as if a drunken monkey was dancing on your keyboard.

Chris... is that a real book?

I want to get it as a gift for a friend of mine

Really OP, FIX your spelling

What internet browser do you use?
There might be a built in spell checker.

I wish it was. I really wish it was. Alas, it is only a poster I can put in random posts when someone demonstrates complete disregard for the English language.

Just checking, OP...you use Word for all your posts? You type nothing on the actual dakka site, and just copy and paste from word? Word SHOULD have a spell checker.

Oh, P.S. I found out what--actually who--Titian is! He was a 16th century Italian painter! I didn't know we had those in 40k!

Has an awesome beard?

**ChrisWWII**

He painted this famous one....

Assunata 1516-1518

Unfrotunately he didn't do anything other than be a well liked painted...I'm afraid Assassin's Creed has us beat there! :(

**purplefood**

That's not very grimdark...
Saint Titain!
"What did he do"
"Not much but he was a very nice chap"

**ChrisWWII**

He does get grimmer and darker though!

**purplefood**

That is pretty grimdark...
Though how many heroes of the Imperium paint things?

**Skinnereal**

As long as titan now gets pronounced Tishun (I think), we'll all be happy.

**Ed_Bodger**

The poor spelling, grammar and incorrect information in the OP has completely put me off reading an otherwise interesting thread.

**Skinnereal**

Best bet:
Lock the thread,
Copy/paste the OP's post into a spellchecker,
Re-post it.

**dirkthe1**

I'm confused-is this a genuine thread or a cunning lure to get the grammar nazis out en masse?

Also out of interest, were the titans built by GW years ago about 5 feet high?

**Ratius**

Threads given me a giggle today at any rate.

That Ork Gargant graph is seriously cute

I tried that. Some of the mistakes were so bad that spellchecker basically gave me a 'What the

!?!!?" result.

**Conservationist**

I think the OP is doing it on purpose, I mean the worse spelling after his initial bad spelling. He thrives on attenshun.

**ChrisWWII**

I especially like him demanding I apologize to him for saying his grammar and spelling are crap. Hey, HAZZER, hear this: if you rewrite all your posts in this thread to have proper (or at least DECENT) spelling and grammar, I'll apologize to you. Until then, I will continue to rage about your continued massacre of the English Language.
