Why do you have to rely on a spell check if you are doing a degree?. It's easy. Like this:
1. Type it;
2. Read it:
3. Correct spelling if you find it.
Writing 101 would teach you that the secret to good writing is lots of re-writing.
Youngsters today rely on spell checks and calculators like oldsters are relying on viagra. Only one is really necessary.

Wheres all the Longmire love for not playing too tall in the wet and for not playing white . Surely in one foul swoop he has answered everyones prayers with this inspired selection of bolton over white.Comment

About a month or so ago at work I toddled into the kitchen area and there were a couple of grads in their early 20s- I was just in time to hear one say "have you ever taken viagra?", the other one said "no" and the first one said "I did on the weekend, it was crazy- and..." then they spotted me standing there with my tea cup and a raised eyebrow. The poor guy turned positively scarlet.I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

Football
At last,someone using this chat for football. After all the ego stroking, wise cracking ,time wasting by the pseudo experts on everything we finally have a football discussion point. It almost seems out of order!
I think you are right but it is also swapping a dud for a real footballer. If Mick Malthouse was coaching the Swans what would he do with White? If his expressions from the coaching box are anything to go by there would be some "inreresting " interactions!Comment

Much as I appreciate footy discussion..."foul swoop"?Comment

Foul swoop: Elizabethan term for an unsavoury crowd.
Excrutio: 'Sirrah, methinks I'd roll not with that group
For verily they be a most foul swoop.'
'Honour's Merrie Turn', William Shakespeare, Act IV. lines 45-47Comment

Very rightly pointed out: it should be "fell swoop" and is probably relating to the slipping and falling the Swans do on a wet track. MacDuff didn't know his birds anyway as the line before is "What, all my pretty chickens" not Swans. Let's just hope the Dogs' goose is cooked tomorrow.Comment

I feel guilty cos i think I started the BA nonsense on a footy forum, but I may as well have the last word before Liz or someone bans us all..
A 'fell swoop' refers to the power dive made by a falcon or a hawk or a kite as it swoops on its prey..

WTF are you people taking about.
In other news it has finally stopped raining. It might start again at any time but it has actually stopped for the first time in a few days.-Comment

Where do I start. No, I'm not a Geelong supporter but was sarcastically given the name "The Big Cat" due to my moves in a basketball team known as the Panthers. I am a fourth generation Swans supporter and spent many years playing footy and even longer attending South Melbourne/Sydney Matches. (Just to get into the swing of recent threads, I have an honours degree in Economics plus two post graduate university qualifications. And these were obtained in an era where about 20% of kids even did Year 12, and of these 33% compulsorily had to fail. So you needed to be in the top 13% of students to even get into uni. A far cry from the "demonstrate a pulse and you've got a degree" standards of today. Now back to footy! Again I say (for the umpteenth time) that I have no beef with people who criticise aspects of the players performance. What I have a beef with is the assumption that this, ipso facto, means it is all the coach's fault. Plus the assumption that the coaches are not trying to remedy the weaknesses.Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.Comment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.

b) If they are abusive, report them. We will consider banning them. Don't stoop to their level.Bottom line
You are a guest on RWO - You are expected to play by the rules of the house.
