Ok the evo is running 2.1 hopefully 2.2 very soon but this gingerbread is 3.0 what happen to 2.3 2.4 and so on?
I don't understand how understand became two separate words. Would it kill people to type complete sentences? Look, I know 3rd grade grammar is tough, but come on people!
I don't understand why people insist on dramatic, useless titles for their threads. Were I moderator, every one of these would be locked.
And here I thought it was because I hadn't offered to help yet.And that's why you're not a moderator

What's a **** tart?
You took the words right out of my mouth everybody always checking spellingWell, I learned alot from Brent Pierce, but as far as the rest of this thread goes, it is a waste of everyone's time and effort. Now, let's see, did I misspell any words? Is my punctuation perfect?...........Is this what is important here?
This is probably the single must hilarious thread here. Keep em coming guys.

these forums would be so much better if people would just help other people out, chat, and talk about this great phone instead of always being negative...

There are a few of them tarts roaming around here, as in pretty much all forums. No matter its not worth getting bent over their stupid comments. Pity the guy who has nothing better to do in life than spell and grammer check, along with mini-me moderating.
Yea its getting pretty good, stupid **** tarts with all the grammer correction I mean come on its not like i completly took a sentence and misspelled it oh well I got my point across
OP, it seems as though the answer to your question has been provided much more accurately than I probably could, so I don't have a whole lot more to offer other than another analogy. Think of the production run of your typical car. When they update the list of standard options or features from year to year, that is like going from 2.1 to 2.2. When they do a major overhaul and the body-style changes significantly, that is akin to moving from 2.2 to 3.0. The Corvette is a good example, 9 years of continually improving the C5 (i.e. 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, etc.) before coming out with the C6 in 2004 (3.0).
It may be annoying to you to see people correcting grammar and spelling, but those sorts of errors are equally annoying to those of us that appreciate a reasonable grasp of the English language and an ability to use it in the context of written communication. You might not find some of the responses tactful, but, frankly, I think that pointing out spelling errors and grammatical mistakes is, in some small way, a form of "helping out". On the internet, really the only shred of information anyone has to size you up is the way in which you communicate via the written word. Egregious errors in spelling and grammar don't really paint you in a very good light. It could be just enough to push certain individuals away from engaging in any sort of two-way communication with such users. I know I am often drawn more towards one's lack of an ability to construct a cohesive thought than I am the message or query he/she is trying to convey. The way that chat rooms, message boards, and text messages have slaughtered the way in which we write really is quite disappointing. I'm not saying that every post be proofread as though it were a grad student's thesis, but some of these spelling errors and misuse/lack of punctuation are downright appalling.
Before you try and pull the "well just don't say anything" card, remember, you had that option too in response to 'expletiveinserted's response.
