Teh Blur Gibbon Evnet! The aim of the game is to write a paragraph of a maximum of 100 words that contains no correctly spelt words! You gain a point for every word (within the limit) that does not correspond to a correct spelling of an english word You lose a point:[list:065fafb8b2][*:065fafb8b2]if I cannot comprehend what word a mis-spelling is supposed to correspond to [*:065fafb8b2]if you repeat a mis-spelling [*:065fafb8b2]for every part of a sentence that, when translated*, doesn't make grammatical sense [*:065fafb8b2]for every word over the 100 word limit[/list:u:065fafb8b2] I hope that's clear and I haven't forgotten anything. Have fun! *i.e. converted from mis-spelt to correctly spelt
[quote:6dc12656aa="Electric_Man"]Teh Blur Gibbon Evnet! The aim of the game is to write a paragraph of a maximum of 100 words that contains no correctly spelt words! [/quote:6dc12656aa] Are we talking spellings that are completely wrong (ie. rong) or words that are spelt correctly in a different context (spelt rite)?
[quote:23b738160e="Electric_Man"]You gain a point for every word (within the limit) that does not correspond to a correct spelling of an english word[/quote:23b738160e] So 'rite', even though you mean 'right', would not gain a point. 'rong' would further example: "I know you." written as "Eye no ewe." would gain zero points also.

Hmm, forgot to put a time limit on this - I'll give everyone another 24 hours to get their entries in, then I'll complete marking and declare the winner.
The results are in, and the winner of the third Boardonwealth Gold medal is... [size=18:ecbe491b4d]Cynical Youth[/size:ecbe491b4d] [b:ecbe491b4d]Spiky[/b:ecbe491b4d] takes the silver and [b:ecbe491b4d]Ba Witda[/b:ecbe491b4d] takes the bronze.
As requested: Cynical_Youth: 95 points Spiky: 91 points Ba: 64 points Victimov: 27 points And to slightly spare your blushes Vic... Katcal: 7 points [size=7:0dcdc53848]not that it would've counted if she'd made a proper attempt[/size:0dcdc53848]

Katcal: 7 points [size=7:c69cf1dbeb]not that it would've counted if she'd made a proper attempt[/size:c69cf1dbeb][/quote:c69cf1dbeb] I have to wonder how far into the negative I would have gone, had I not deleted off the final paragraph! Should have read the rules properly methinks
Thank you tahnk you... my boyfried just pointed out that I spent way to long putting together my entry but pffft, I'm proud of my silver. It still shows talent but does suggest that at least I have more of a life than CY Thats an important outcome...
