mrxak just went through and dug up a bunch of great old topics from the past few months. This is unacceptable, we've got to do something!

EDIT: Scratch that. It turns out that the board automatically capitalizes the first letter of every word in a topic title, which both makes it impossible to make topics about mrxak, but also leads to grammatical improperness. The "is" should not be capitalized! This is an even worse problem!

Huh, weird. Anyway, they weren't all necessarily great old topics, just every topic on the first page.

I was going to make a new topic called "You've been mrxaked!" with the subtitle "(again)", but this one will do.

Exactly the problem! This auto-capitalizer, in addition to removing our 1st-amendment rights, makes it impossible to talk about mrxak in a topic title.

But we aren't talking about mrxak, we're talking about Mrxak.

So who is he? Is he new? I haven't seen him on the forums at all.

I am not entirely sure how to pronounce it either. Mrrrzak? Mr. Zak?

Actually if you noticed, in true ATT fashion I derailed the topic in the first post, this topic is really supposed to be about how bad the auto-capitalizer is.

I think all those "z's" are actually "x's". Anyways, I think you are being a snobby English teacher, Rickton. I used to have one in 8th grade that would ask if anyone said "me and" instead of "my friend and I", "Who is 'meand'? I don't know a 'meand'?" Well, meand my English abilities are going to go sit in a corner and weep.

When I was little I had a friend named Addison. We had the closet doors that were a bunch of panels with a pole going through the center and they would pivot. I was walking up to the closet and he opened it and hit me on the head. I wrote about it later for a paper and got chewed out for writing Me and Addison. Makes sense but sheesh.

A snobby English teacher? I'm not the one who's claiming Mrxak and mrxak are different words.

And anyway, everyone knows it's Mr. Yak.

This friend of yours, he was invisible right?

I ran into Mrxak in a dark alley just the other day. He mugged me and stole my house keys. Clearly he's a danger to the community. Especially if you have a house. Then you're really in trouble.

Not really. He already stole your house keys so now he's living in your house.

He is compelled to live in a second home every third Thursday as he has the hare krishnas in to redecorate the house plants.

I think the issue here is that this is not mrxak's fault, but Ambrosia. If they can't fix their auto-capitalizer, then we should just sue the #######'s! Take them to the cleaners. mrxak is an upstanding citizen in my galaxy and he will remain that way until he usurps my power. (That isn't a request, by the way).

Personally, I think auto-capitalizer should let you have strings of letters that are all capitalized, so you see
"[ATTN]ABC 123 Has Been Released!" instead of "[attn]Abc 123 Has Been Released!" The latter version is sucky at best.
