Why must we sit and read about somebody making good points and good ideas and then have it ruined by that guy/gurl who decides im gonna go be a looser today and comment saying "You need proper spelling, punctuation, grammer?" Last I check we are not in school. We play these games to get away from that just to have u come and bring use bac k to it? And then the person commenting doesnt even use proper grammer. So how the **** are u gonna tell me I need to use it?
Whaa? I guess most of the time some say it is because sometimes the post is just so hard to read. Most of the time I see posts that resemble something like this: "So lyk dis game iz rely gud yt i dun thnk so." Not necessarily here mind you but at other places. I'm not so much as a stickler about it only because I suck and knowing a bit of other languages doesn't help. It is just that the text speak as some do just make you want to walk away from the PC >_>.
I see what your saying but I honestly cant stand it because I dont care who you are you use it there maybe 2 people in the world that dont type in txt language and if u say ur one chances are your a lier. People just wanna get on other people because there girlfriend left them or whatever the reason my be. Because you replied saying you need better puncuation or whatever but yet you could read it and see that.
It's grammar, actually. ;)
Yep I generally don't care personally but those that do I guess don't want to see the language deteriorate? Or something along those lines; Personally I think it's okay so long as it's something that does not carry over to the school system. As for text speak just no >_>.
This has nothing to do with the game. Also Grammar...
Ned orgn weps plz

Well if you had just spelt the words correctly the first time you would never of had to make this cry thread about it. But it is always easier to complain about others then to correct the problem.Quote:

Generally speaking, correcting other people's grammar online is something I only do if asked (such as reviewing something), or if the individual is needlessly jumping on someone else's grammar while making mistakes of their own. Since this is an informal setting, where people often type as they speak, grammatical issues, or issues with syntax, organization, or the overuse of colloquialisms doesn't bother me. The only stipulation is when someone types in such a manner where it's nearly impossible to comprehend what that person wrote, without reading the post over and over and over again, all the while making assumptions as to what that individual is saying.
Additionally, I don't care to type with perfect grammar. I use tumblr a lot, and my habit for typing on there is "like this usually ignoring capitalization, sometimes punctuation, since for some reason everyone there understands me when i type like this and it's just a habit i picked up there." Then again, most people I know on tumblr are personal friends who pretty much know me, so there's no desire to present myself in any other way.

I just wanted a excuse to use this gif.
You, my friend, nailed it perfectly. I'd likely take someone far more seriously if they're not typing at elementary levels.Quote:

Put some effort into your typing, it goes a long way.
Okay, I'm pretty sure this is a troll thread at this point (for if not, it is truly one of the most depressing threads i've come across in a while). Still, I'll humor it, for the sake of my own personal entertainment.Quote:

An English teacher wrote the following sentence on the blackboard: "A woman without her man is nothing", then asked the students to fill in the punctuation.
Every single male student wrote: "A woman, without her man, is nothing."
Every single female student wrote: "A woman: Without her, man is nothing."
Need I say more?
Actually I'm going to say this about school and MMO's...
School, gets in the way!
And I'm a teacher!
Less school more game, please.
Hey I've even been known to pull a sickly to stay home and play
Nuff said init blood!
In tru Eas lundon style, ya feel me bruve!
Sorry just thought I'd weigh in as well!
The only thing I can think of saying to that is:Quote:

Life is better with education. Formal, or informal.
That has more to to do with the other persons perspective on the conversation's implied intentions, not grammar. Though it is like grammar, in that it's not what you say but how you say it. If you're unaware of the subtle influences within human interaction, then your going to have a hard time dealing with people; especially with the opposite sex.Quote:

what school? I graduated top of my class about 10 years ago. 3 bachelors and 1 masters degree later, running my own business and inventing stuff so I really don't get the concept of a classroom anymore or are we talking about AA classes lol
U will always get ****s in this world that want to stamp on ppl with bad spelling, what they seem to forget that there are many ppl that have problems with spelling. It doesn't matter how hard we try we will get a few wrong from time to time, it's not a big deal most ppl understand the meaning, regardless how it's spelt, perhaps if these ppl lived in the real world. And not spend a lifetime trolling the Web for spelling mistakes.
Thot thus wuz topicul.

I find it remarkable that you take the time to write regardless, but replace you with u and people with ppl.Quote:

Besides, pointing out other peoples spelling mistakes makes you a target if you happen to make one yourself. Also, not everyone has english as their main language (though suprisingly enough there are alot of people with that has english as their primary language that can't spell worth schtako).
I honestly don't care about spelling, as long as people bother to write out full words...Quote:
