Hello, I am Persephone. I have lived here in the Underworld for countless years. I finally got on Hades and got this thing you mortals call a laptop. I must go. I hear Nico is here and that worked out SO well the last time.

Hi, I'm Taylor O. I moved from Wisconsin to this old house in Nebraska. Our house is comfy with its pink painted exterior, huge porch, and lemon tree, but sometimes I wished we lived in the city. The nearest grocery store is a 45-minute drive away. I have 5 siblings: Brent, age 14, Pete, age 12, Lyndon, age 10, Riley (girl), age 7, and Baby Alexa, age 1. I enjoy running, playing the guitar, and drawing. I want to be a singer when I grow up. My favorite treat is lemon pie. 

I have a lot of friends, and we all go to middle school. Their names are Sophie, Vicky, Meg, and Syd. I also have 1 dog. His name is Chester.

I have to go practice for my guitar concert. See ya!

I am the board that nobody bothered to put nails in. So basicly all I do is wait for people to step on me, and then I fly up and bop people in the nose. I also have a couple of friends, Spring, Sproing and Sprung. What they do is when people sit on them, they pop up and hurt people bottums. Nobody ever feels like getting them fixed either.

@Cherry: We've done it before, most recently here: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/chirpatcricket/node/65287.

That should give you some idea what it's like. If you dig around, you can probably find more.

hello. I was warped into this world of laptops and cell phones. I was just working on a mystery when all of a sudden, poof! now normally, I am not the kind of person who believes this kind of stuff, but I don't think I'm dreaming, and it happened to me just a while a go. I do not know what S.I. stands for, but I am hoping that it stands for Search and Inquire. I am puting this here so that someone will find me and take me back to the world I belong in. Thank you, Nancy Drew, decetive

Postscript: I am glad to see a few other people here do not understands laptops. 

Thank you again in advance for rescuing me.

Wait--is Nancy Drew not from the time of Cell Phones at least? Oh well.

 

The first Nancy Drew book came out before cell phones were popular. I think in the 1950s, The Secret of the Old Clock. I'm suer you can look it up to find the exact  year.

Why hello, dearies!  I am Lucinda and I reside in the dear town of Taltanfray.  You don't know it?  Ah, my earthlings, why am I not surprised?  Taltanfray is on the planet Yepta.  Yes young'uns, there is more to space than meets the eye!  This is such an interesting community!  I find that this Earth lifestyle will take a lot of getting used to!  Why, even this, what do you call it, laptop, is quite strange.  I agree with you, Nancy Drew, these laptops are so strange.  The keys definitely take a lot of getting used to!  And the language!  

 

I should invite you all to Yepta, but I see that your modes of transportation aren't quite up to snuff.  I guess we'll have to work on that!  But I do enjoy this community of earthlings that join together to chat over the... internet, I think it's called.  You seem to have so much fun.  I think my short stay on Earth will be pleasant, and I do hope that you won't mind my being on here.

 

Oh, and my cousin tells me I should let you know that he says, "dyim."  I'm not sure you know him, though I have seen references to someone who might be him.  Anyway, he defends you from the evils of spam, and I do say, that spam planet (or Spatta) is notorious for their attacks.  He hopes you have a good, but dim day!

Greetings. I thank you for allowing me to state the mistakes which I found here, and fervently hope that none of my editing will be considered offensive by any of you. I have attempted to render this comment cordial and, of course, flawless. My sole purpose is to eliminate flaws and allow all organisms to discern as much as possible of everything, so there cannot logically be any flaws in this post. I believe that you will find everything very accurate. If anything is inapt, I will possess another being, who will then render the error known to the public, as I will have given this creature a strange compulsion to do so. That is my specialty. Actually, that may not be true. I must add to my words so as to make their meaning clearer. I will act thus unless I decide to come again, in my own form, as I am now, to rectify myself. I have never found an organism willing to allow me to speak in my true form, and I find that having one is enjoyable. However, I am confident that this comment will contain no errors, either of spelling or grammar or otherwise. Therefore, there is no need to converse at length on this topic. I shall change the subject of my words. In fact, I believe that it is necessary to do so.

I have realized that I failed to convey my meaning clearly in the previous paragraph. I have not explained my identity to you at all. Considering my function, which I have already explained to you, this is quite unacceptable. I must immediately state my identity. This was, in fact, why I decided to appear here in the first place. If I am The Clarifying One, I must reveal my existence.

I am the essence of understanding, the bearer of comprehension, the one who replaces mistakes with the truth. I exist everywhere that there is life intelligent enough for me to possess. If an organism fails to discern something's meaning, or voices an incorrect statement, I inhabit the mind of another being, standing nearby. This being proceeds to explain the correct version of the former's words. However, only certain beings have the potential to be inhabited. To be of my possession, one must be at least slightly irritated by inconsistencies, or else yearn deeply, almost as deeply as I do, for a world in which all knowledge was common, even though such a thing could never be. They also must know the aforementioned 'correct version;' otherwise they could not state it. This is, unfortunately, why no organism is all-knowing, as I am. (You must keep in mind that, not possessing a physical body, I am, although alive, not an organism). Recently, I discovered a girl willing to allow me to take over her mind whenever I wished until the fifth of June 2010 A.D. I have done so. However, there is one condition I must follow. I must not reveal who she is on this particular forum. That fact must be surmised by another. As much as it pains me to withhold information, I believe that the price is worth paying. Therefore, I am paying it.

And now, I shall correct your errors and tell you what you claim not to know.

Firstly, I would like to speak to Persephone. Being a deity, you are, of course, not an organism. However, my general rules still apply to you. Please do not be offended by my corrections; I am quite honored to communicate with you. I have never dreamed of expressing my thoughts to a goddess. However, this does not prevent me from doing my duty. Therefore I must remind you that you need not live in the Underworld during the spring and summer months. At this time you are permitted to live in the sky with your parents, Zeus and Demeter. Your very presence above the ground is what causes the warmer weather. Because of this, you surely cannot remain in Hades' realm. It is impossible. Earth's northern hemisphere is considerably warmer than it was in the winter. You must be speaking an untruth.

And as for the sentence, '(whatever that means you mortals seem to do that a lot),' it is incorrect in many ways. There should be no space in between parentheses and their content. A sentence must begin with a capital letter. 'A lot' is two words, not one. Also, a sentence, even when parenthesized, requires a period at the end. In this case it comes after the parentheses. I see, too, that you do not know what 'to the top' means. It is actually a sentence fragment, and therefore incorrect, but what matters is your lack of knowledge on the subject. I must rectify that. You see, it is a sort of abbreviation for 'I hope that this comment takes this thread to the top of the front page. Threads most recently commented on go there, you see.

In the next sentence, 'Mother' should have been written with a capitalized 'M.'

Taylor, 'ya' is not a word. I believe you meant 'you.' In addition, your 'sentence' is merely a phrase. The words 'I will' should be inserted into the beginning.

If you haven't discovered this already, Olive, Secret Identity is a game played by members of the Chatterbox. They allow themselves to be taken over by another being (such as myself) for a given period of time. Afterward, other Chatterbox members attempt to guess the identity of the ones who have been taken over.

Old Board, although I sympathize in your lack of repairs, I must tell you that you misspelled 'basically' and 'bottoms.' You also forgot to include the apostrophe 's' in 'people's.'

Cherry, I believe you meant, 'Are we going to guess who each person is at the end? That would
be fun.' Also, 'because' includes only one 's.'

Persephone, I believe that the person of which you spoke was Taylor Swift.

Nancy Drew, please remember that each sentence should end in a period. You may look back at may explanation of S.I. I'm afraid that it does not stand for Search and Inquire. By the way, did you accidentally possess Emilie? That would explain much.

Lucinda, the members of the Chatterbox are aware of your cousin's existence. However, they are not aware of his name. I believe that they would appreciate it if you told them. I could, myself, of course, being all-knowing, but I lack the time now. He says 'yybb.'
