Well, they're not idiotic in the "understanding when something's true or not" states, but in the realm of grammar, they're right at the bottom.

Well, Psy, we would be too, if it weren't for the rules...

Hurray...!

No, I type like this all the time. I don't actually get how some people can drop capital letters to "save time". I have to actually concentrate in order to do it. Although that's probably because I do an awful lot of typing for university and work, and it has to be grammatical.

DBZOA believed right away, which is I imagine, because they actually know who I am...or at least some of them anyway ^o^

Ya, you're wrong about that Zacko, I always type with proper grammar, except for that little thing I missed in my signature that Psy took such delight in pointing out! :oops: I hate it when someone catches me on a grammar error.

Somehow, it doesn't suprise me that DBZOA believed it. :?

No, no, I type properly on every board... Even when I'm on MSNM, I often type with correct grammar. It freaks people out...

I didn't mean everyone, just most people. Just how it is on other boards... If you look hard enough, you'll find people who type properly.

I don't really get how people can not use capital letters and punctuation and everything. They taught us that stuff in early elementary school. I was about 8 or 9 when I started using computers and typing and stuff, and following the same rules was just a natural transition for me. With that in mind, "I'm olny 12" is not a valid excuse, because people really should know that stuff by middle school.

It's all just pretty baffling to me. :? I'm not even a terribly smart or educated person.

It's just pure laziness I think. People don't want to be bothered with pressing the "Shift" or "Caps Lock" key all the time. Not that it's that hard! It's not like the keys are in the other room for gosh sakes! And actually Rach, you'd be suprised at how many people are content to remain at the level of a 6 year-old when it comes to basic English grammar. I once heard a girl in my grade 9 math class,(we we're doing those fun math puzzles where you get a secret message type-thing with your answer), ask what vowels were. True story!

*laughing* Yeah, it seems most people refuse to use proper grammar. Admitedly, I don't know about most of the terms, but I'm actually good with grammar. It scares me how, at 15, I typed better than most 20 year olds.

Oh no trust me, this school had a lot of retards! :? And I had to go there! Ick. Bad years. And no, I don't think Ottawa in general has a dumber proportion of people than anywhere else. Obviously all the dumb ones in the city just happened to attend my high school, I guess.

Well... that settles it for me. Both the first and fourth customer reviews (posted on 4 and 8 April, respectively) make reference to the revised ending. Not that I doubted you, Greg... I was just waiting for some corroborating evidence. :)

But of course ^o^ In fact, those last four pages have been a selling point. The print ads here all mention them.

But did they keep them a secret right up until the day of release? Or has it been known for months over there?

And how well do they fit in with the art from the preceeding chapters? I was looking, and Vegeta's eyes in that final panel have the slightly curved corners that they sport on the new covers (and Neko Majin Z), but I don't think anything else sticks out. Although I do find the art right at the end of the "Z-era" to be a bit...different anyway.
