I think I'll apply, why not, my grammar and spelling are amazing anyway. -- Posted by Praise the Lard at 12:37 pm on July 3, 2008 i'd totally be down to do this i have a cute little emoticon when people use incorrect grammar or spelling and yes, i don't always spell things correctly, but that's typically for irony, not unintentionally. -- Posted by paris in flames at 12:45 pm on July 3, 2008 Quote: from Praise the Lard at 3:37 pm on July 3, 2008 i'd totally be down to do this i have a cute little   emoticon when people use incorrect grammar or spelling and yes, i don't always spell things correctly, but that's typically for irony, not unintentionally.

EYE SPIEL REILY WEIL -- Posted by carbonara at 1:26 pm on July 3, 2008 For all those who think that being Dictionary Manager is going to be too much work, you are mistaken. It is probably the easiest job out of all of the Manager positions. The only time it was 'too much work' for me, was when the Members Checklist came in and everyone had to define a word int he Dictionary. Trust me, it's a good position to have and I'm gonna miss it. Good luck to who ever gets the new position :) -- Posted by Wakeupcall at 1:48 pm on July 3, 2008 I've applied. Yay! -- Posted by Rastafarian at 3:02 pm on July 3, 2008 I am under the assumption moderators cannot apply, as usual for these managment positions. -- Posted by DefaultTo0 at 3:29 pm on July 3, 2008 It does sound like too much work... -- Posted by evey the magnificent at 5:37 pm on July 3, 2008 There is way too much to do just to apply, it's more work applying than the actual job... -- Posted by sexyboy13 at 6:38 pm on July 3, 2008 I don't think we'll have another dictionary manager quite like Cara. -- Posted by greeneyedone at 7:29 pm on July 3, 2008 Already sent my app. -- Posted by dreamweaver at 11:40 pm on July 3, 2008 Quote: from evey the magnificent at 8:37 pm on July 3, 2008 There is way too much to do just to apply, it's more work applying than the actual job... It's not that hard. You pretty much just tell Erick that you're interested in the position, why you want to be the manager, give some ideas on improvements/new definitions/ideas, and maybe some background information such as how long you've been here, how many definitions you've added, etc. -- Posted by Tavis at 7:22 am on July 4, 2008 I applied. But I doubt I'll have any chance. Just thought "Meh, if someone is going to do it, and there isn't many people applying, why not apply myself" -- Posted by Potterishdancer at 10:44 am on July 4, 2008 sounds cool! where do i send my application? -- Posted by DCW69 at 10:51 am on July 4, 2008 Quote: from Potterishdancer at 10:44 am on July 4, 2008 sounds cool! where do i send my application? You didn't read it did you. I'd apply but i know I wont get it. -- Posted by BLUEAUTOMATIC at 11:24 am on July 4, 2008 I'm totes pleased with my application. I was joking a bit to start off with, but then as I got on and thought more about the position, I actually got excited However, re-reading it I also think it would be an educational experience helping me to actually learn what words really mean and proper context. It's a win-win situation. However, the likelihood of it being me is extremely unlikely. -- Posted by Decadence at 11:27 am on July 4, 2008 I'll do it. That's my appilication, by the way. -- Posted by Khadgar at 5:40 pm on July 4, 2008 Quote: from Decadence at 11:27 am on July 4, 2008 I'll do it.   That's my appilication, by the way.
