Indeed. People refuse to believe that there might already be answers to certain problems in the forums. Either they just don't read the stickied problem threads or they don't bother to use the search function. More often both. I just counted and I've had to help 6 different people with the OpenAL issue. And I registered in May, for crying out loud. I can't even imagine how many people in total have created a thread for the mysterious OpenAL problem over and over again.

Oh well. I guess I now know what teachers must feel like.

Well, eventually 'their first times' will begin to get really annoying, considering this is a problem that can be solved by, like IP so well put it, Reading The ****ing Manual.

Also; Never fear, the Grammar/Vocabulary Inquisition is here.

Patients; a plural form of patient (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/patient)

Patience; the word you were looking for (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/patience).

I know I am. In Cthulhu terms using HLP costs 1 sanity point per month.
