I changed Wikipedia tonight!
Edited on Tue May-08-07 11:31 PM by Whoa_Nelly
In the DU Wiki there was a part that stated we often misspell words.

I changed it to this:
(my addition/changes in bold)

New members can be confused by DU vocabulary which includes references to pop culture ("this thread needs more cowbell"), and employ the crazy and hilarious spellings of some words as commonly found on a small Republican website called FreeRepublic, (such as "HUGH!!!1!," "Series!," "morans," "screwn," "noble jesters", and "analygies"), and long-running threads that have worked their way into DU lore ("please remove," "the kudzu thread").

8. Welcome to DU
You know, I don't know what happened to Demopedia. You may want to (when you can) PM Skinner and ask him, he would know.

:hi:

Enjoy yourself here!
