LOL No, that annoys me also when people OOC to correct minor typos, etc. I'm hard on myself when I make mistakes, but try to correct it IC or tell myself to just let it go if it's something that doesn't drastically change the meaning of my post. If you post a sentence that includes "taht" I'm pretty sure we can all figure out what you meant to type and it isn't necessary to correct it. I really try to limit my OOC posts because it just seems to break the whole RP experience.

Thank you for that

I get so annoyed by people OOC talking about how cool a new feature is, or how telling the whole smurfing town how they're gonna be on a 30 minute drive home [/rant]

Besides that....

However I like being able to Cantr anywhere, I do about the same as Wiro, quickly check or change some stuff, maybe a quick answer to something, but no huge RP things, as I simply can't keep up and I will start making mistakes when I do.

I remember checking Cantr on my old school flip phone back in (IIRC) 2005/6 using a buggy Opera Mini browser. No touchscreen, had to use the phone buttons for navigation. Could fit maybe an average sized sentence on the screen. Forget about actually doing anything (does anyone actually remember typing/texting on those things?!) and trying to figure out where the 'cursor' was just didn't happen.

So yeah....now when I do play on my Note 3, the little things that go wrong are annoying...but then I remember how it used to be and am oh so glad that it isn't like that any more!
