Start off by downloading mIRC at http://mirc.com/get.html. Then download from the server closest to your current location.
Once you have downloaded the program, install it to a directory, preferably C:/Program Files/mIRC/. After you have
installed it, simply run the mirc.exe and follow the next steps in this tutorial.

C:\Program Files\mIRC\

Defence is spelled correctly. Defense is just the American-only way of spelling it.

1) UFO's (<--possessive) plural can have an apostrophe because it's an abbreviation. (take that, Ðk!)
2) "Staff" (back to LW's first post) can be considered a title, and therefore can be capitalized. (take that, LW!)
3) The proper use of the apostrophe is often omitted in casual typing. In the case of Yoshi's description of the previous SEN members, it's understandable... though, yeah, still incorrect.
4) Defense is the American way to spell "defence". For you see, when the first colonists arrived here, they hated British rules, and wanted to use these little differences to make the King as annoyed at them as they are at him. Actually, I kinda made this up.
5) Kinda: short for "kind of"; wanna: short for "want to". Note how I still used "wanted to" instead of "wanna", because the latter does not denote the past tense. Look them up in a dictionary, and they will not be there; however, this is not a government agency, nor an educational institution, but an internet website, so I say you live with it. tongue.gif
6) (Might have seen this used incorrectly on SEN before, can't be sure) Affect=verb. Effect=noun. I was effected by the bad grammar. I was affected by the bad grammar. Exceptions are there, i.e., when "effect" is used as the meaning "1. To bring into existence. 2. To produce as a result. 3. To bring about." (it'd be a transitive verb), or "affect" is used as "1. Feeling or emotion, especially as manifested by facial expression or body language." (it'd be a noun).

"nothing" is spelt correctly, you must be refering to "interestin". That was intentional.

There are some mistakes in the tutorials - they were written by random people, but they're for public view and still need to be corrected!

Tho those tutorials are long and some are just full of mistakes so I want post them all here, but to fix the mistakes just go over them all (there are only 45...), copy to MSword and fix the things with red line under them.

Common mistake types:
'posible' 'dificult' 'basicly' 'Therefor' (spelling mistakes)
'values goes' 'you do DO NOT' 'computer which' (grammar mistakes)
'Goto' 'mins' 'WAVs' 'digit' 'eachother's' (cuss)
'trigegrs' 'thinkt' 'si' 'Addittion' 'sifferent' (fast typing errors)
'If you don't understand what I mean, just PM me.' (things like that should be removed because most tutorial creators are no longer active in SEN)

Also:

Shouldn't it be:
