    easy fix, simply include a LOWERCASE "z" in front of their names. zVader, zDooku, zSid, zETc. zEtc. zEtc.
    .

    This looks the best. Looks alot better than zidader or whatever the hell people are saying.

    I didn't do anything. I made a comment. While the abbreviations in your response may seem annoying to some, at least there's a clear reason for them. Adding an apostrophe to create a plural form of a word introduces an unnecessary character, and a special character at that. It creates more work. There is no logical reason for it.

    i'm not a native speaker/writer. To me "typo's" somehow looks more correct than "typos" or "typoes". Apparently "typos" is the correct spelling. Anyway, i had to look it up, wich obviously took me longer and is more work than just typing it incorrectly a few dozen times. So i guess we can also chalk this one up to being lazy? ;)

    But if you were truly lazy wouldn't you just ignore the apostrophe as it's another character to type? So you would just write "typos" anyways? Clearly you're not lazy enough. You need to stop putting in the effort.

    The show never made its way to this side of the Atlantic, for which I guess I should be grateful? I'm told.

    That said, it does sound like a Star Wars name.

    Just want to point out a period should be used instead of a question mark because it is phrased as a statement even though it wants a response.

    1 Z per Zeta. Only Zarth Zihilus can have 2 Zs. So it's either Zhasma or PhaZma.

    Claiming a generational gap, and laziness, for such abbreviate behaviors, its apparent the accusers are easily annoyed and have obvious anxiety and judgmental tendencies. There's help for that in the form of counseling and pharmaceutical. ;)

    Gen Xer here, and love the shorthands!

    Forgot the ' in it's. :p

    Might wanna take your own advice lol. Nevercwant to assume, but I assume you're not very bright ;)

    Edit: Take a reading comprehension course; could really do you some good ;)

    I suggest working with a psychiatrist or an in-patient therapy group

    Great comeback, BRO!

    When writing online it's often helpful to use punctuation that may not be technically correct in order to convey tone, thereby enhancing communication. Examples of this would be the use of italics, ellipses, or all caps. It is similar to the concept of writing dialogue "as it sounds" as opposed to how the same concept would be conveyed otherwise.
    In addition, the cadence (at least in my head) sounded more Yiddish, for which a question mark would be appropriate (at least tonally).
    If I admonished everyone on their punctuation and use of passive voice in a conversation I wouldn't be too much fun at parties. Finally, I'm not handing in these message board comments to be graded. My intent was clear. That said, please feel free to call me out on these things, as I may not be aware of them in spite of my English degree.

    I think it's just odd

    I don't remeber hearing about Zader, but I do remember a Vader

    Maybe the devs can replace all first letters with a Z: Znakin, Zoruscant Underworld Police, Zate Gunray, Zeneral Kenobi

    Not too hard I bet

    Edir: I know it stands for a character that has a zeta, but is zeta maul that time consuming to type?

    Well, i get how that may be annoying. Definitely confusing at times. But keep in mind that some may ask why it's hard for people to type "developer", and they just shorten it to "dev".

    I think it's a generational thing. A long time ago, you wouldnt type can't, won't, don't... only cannot, will not, and the barely longer "do not". It may have driven the old timers crazy that people wrote "can't" ... until it just became what you did and is part of language.
    May the force be with you. It shall free you.
