Doubt I'll ever use this for anything, but I kept myself amused with the little graphing engine it was built on.

I played with it for at least an hour.

Sure, I'm glad that you enjoyed it so much lol.

Something I hate: when people use the word "literally" without actually knowing what it means.

It literally makes me explode with anger.

Something I hate: the English language. It's constantly in flux, so using literally in the place of figuratively or metaphorically is actually correct English. It's considered an acceptable way of adding emphasis to a sentence.
It's piss annoying, especially with words that really don't deserve to get that extra definition, but I don't mind it with 'literally' so much.

Who made you the Chief of the Grammar Police?

I don't think it's considered acceptable except by people who don't know the LITERAL meaning of the word.

There are some things that are becoming more accepted like saying "there's 3 apples" instead of "there are 3 apples" but that still doesn't make it right.

And I am an official member of the teen grammar squad in my high school.

It is considered by many dictionaries to be an acceptable meaning. Oxford Dictionary, for example. Granted, not all dictionaries will accept it as a correct use of the term, but I personally don't mind it used in a similar manner to how Donut used the word.

To think, I was on the opposite side of this argument a few months ago. A good friend of mine convinced me to live and let live - people have been using 'literally' to emphasise their words for LITERALLY hundreds of years, and I believe he also mentioned Charles Dickens using such a definition - a claim which a quick Google search appears to support. I also noticed this article on my search for evidence - an interesting read if nothing else.

In other news, I believe that my mother intends to kick me out of the house soon. Bummer.
Better finish developing a game soon or I'm going to have to dip into my emergency funding and find a Christmas job.
I feel a little awkward complaining about this with Duder's recent news, considering my situation is nowhere near as bad. In my case it just means that I have to get off of my arse and pull a game out of it.

That is very interesting, I guess I might have to reconsider my strictness :)

I saw a guy with a Newgrounds t-shirt on at uni today, and then less than an hour later I'm sure I spotted Lost-Chances. Freaky.

*waves arms in a freaky manner*

I hate incorrect use of the word "Literally" and also "Exponentially".

I gets on my nerves when people misuse good and well. Needless to say, I don't take it well.

Things like that literally make me kill people. But I always do good in stopping myself before I literally kill someone.

I didn't come to Flash expecting I'd start a grammar dispute.

Grammar disputes are very intellectually stimulating. Everyone has not only learnt more about grammar but they are now smarter and wiser. We should be thankful for what Donut has bestowed upon us.

No, really, thank you. You have always been there for us.

<insert witty comment using literally incorrectly>

Has anyone ever worked with a flash" viewer".....? I use to have it but lost it when my hard drive Formatted.

I remember it being a light blue box movie clip, with some coding on it.

When the movie would play the viewer would only show what was inside the blue box.
It was a sort of resizeable stage.

If you could post where to find it in flash cs3 or lower plz.

Thanks.

Sir, what you need is the vCam!

Hi guys!

If there is someone here who is familiar with Corey O'Neil's Collision Detection Kit (CDK) I could use some help with my game engine in this thread.

I agree, who cares if someone isn't using complete proper good grammar. As long as people can understand what your saying then it's all good!!

Is your name pronounced as letters, like zee-arr-bee, or as a word, like zerb?
