I just ran into someone in the Harry Potter Dialogue Centre who made me cry they abused grammar and spelling so much.
-wails-
Is it so hard to spell check?
Is it too much to ask that a few commas or full stops be used?
That the constant and repetitive perversion of the multiple exclamation points is not committed?
The your post be a little bit more fleshed out than 'Billy was bored. He went down to the lake and sat down. Girls swooned over him as he walked by. He sat down. He signed.'
By the by, people posting like that wouldn't have actually used the word 'swooned', and if they had, they'd have spelled it wrong.
And Billy was sighing, not signing.
Unless he was just practicing his autograph for all the swooning girls.
And sometimes there's a paragraph about what they're wearing. Forgot to mention that.

I mean, someone coming to the Slytherin boards, which is where the more serious RPers have congregated after having been over-run on the Gryffindor boards, and making a topic like this:
Topic title: are gryffendores welcomed?
Contents: Howdee snakes! l.o.l.
Gah!

-dies-
-which is ironic, considering she was stabbing the boards-

PS. The HP movie was FANTASTIC. My friends and I geeked out and went to the midnight premiere. I'd never been to the opening day of any movie before, so I had a blast. And Remus was in it! Yay! I waited since the end of PoA to see him again. He'd better be in the next two as well. And in the last book. I read HBP waiting for bits of Remus. I picked a horribly low-key character to get so attached to, but I can't help it. All the present generation annoys the shit out of me, save for the twins, and those older than them. I'm much happier in the Past Era. Hell, even Founder Era works for me. Or Future.

Basically anywhere I can get away from Harry, and Cho Chang, and the Patil's, and all the other annoying little things.
I was a bit perplexed as to the black and white smokey things - didn't seem like apparition but that's the way Dobby did it, although the different colours was odd. Dobby had grey smoke if memory serves. And they moved, it wasn't like a Nightcrawler 'Bamf' - and the Sirius veil bit was sort of a 'WTF?' moment for me, but otherwise fantastic.
Although, I was miffed Remus' entry was delayed. Alastor took his place for a while, and the 'Snape's Worst Memory' scene, while still included, was really incredibly short. The only person you could see was James really, and as my friend pointed out, the young Severus was really rather nice-looking..
PPS. That was a long PS, yeah?
