They wouldn't be annoying if they were actually Official. It's when they'r started by a fracking newb that they're irritating.

OOPS!
Normally I try to make sure that my spelling is correct. Sorry to cause you any undue frustation by my lack of spelling ability. 
dmw007 said:OOPS!
Not to worry; you spelled "your" perfectly. It just so happened to be the WRONG WORD!!!!!!

I disagree:
™ = option+shift+t
® = option+r
© = option+c
Make much more sense. Disclmaimer: these only work on French keyboards!
Is it ok if we use ™ in combination with InvisioText®?
I think we should ban smilies.
Should InvisioText be followed by ™ or ®, and you owns it?

holy, sheeets, drool...now that is a way to crash a party or at least keep the neighbors awake
doctor q, are you a drummer?
i was once only a guitar and bass player and wanted to learn drums, so i walk into a music store and traded my fender p-bass copy for four cymbals and two of them were vintage zildjians...i was majorly stoked
No, but I've been to the Fastest Drummer in the World (extreme sport) competition twice. (Watch out - horrible website design!)jefhatfield said:
And I saw the movie "Drumline".
And I've marched to plenty of drums in marching bands (playing trumpet).
And I tend to drum my fingers on the desk.
So perhaps that makes me a drum groupie.
Interestingly enough, the phrase "Fastest Drummer in the World" doesn't have a trademark or other mark after it, although the logo has a ® registered symbol.
I love threads like these...initially they burn my ass because 9 times out of 10 people are bitching about things they could easily avoid. (Hello, if it pisses you off that much DONT READ IT!!) This one doesn't fall into that catagory, I mean you really can't avoid the , which is heavily sprinkled throughout almost all threads. What I love about these threads is the intitial complaint is always met with an obnoxious antagonistic flurry of posts containing the same criteria as the complaint itself. I LOVE IT, being obnoxious in nature myself. I have no problem whatsoever with any or use of the word Frack, nor am I bothered with spelling mistakes or any of the other minor crap you read on here. It's a part of life, accept it and find something real to bitch about. And remember this...you complain about a particular annoyance, the annoyance will only get louder and louder. For some reason some of us are like that.

You guys like, TOTALLY missed the point. The thread was a sarcastic thing - I just don't understand what all of the trademarks are FOR. I figured someone would chuckle and explain it, but alas I just got a barrage of crap.
A highly amusing great way to spend 15 minutes Barrage of Crap™
Also, I don't recall you asking for an explanation...you just bitched.StarbucksSam said:

It was supposed to be satirical. Clearly my mind and just about EVERYONE else's didn't seem to be compatible today. I think the point is made.

Frack is now a trademark of me, CompUser, so anyone who uses that word (especially iGary) without permission is now subject to a $50 fine per usage of the word.

I'm an Elbonian and in my country we don't respect copyright and trademark laws, so you're about to loose $1,000:
Frack, Frack, Frack, Frack, Frack, Frack, Frack, Frack, Frack, Frack, Frack, Frack, Frack, Frack, Frack, Frack, Frack, Frack, Frack, Frack.
