Proper English & Grammar

I'm sure if we wanted to read some life long story about how to type, then everyone would have googled it. Please note that this is intelligent debating, not somewhat intelligent copy & pasting.

 

Yeh i don't really give a fuck how people type as long they don't type in 1337 talk or Unreadable Talk.

 

You know, I have been told that i have errors in my post... yet nobody has pointed them out?
Please, if you insist that my topic was "unsatisfactory" the tell me now, exactly WHAT errors did i make in my post?

You idiot. I sorely hope you are not speaking of me.
If you had noticed, those words capitalized were ones i wanted EMPHASIZED.
Like that. There is no "random, jumbled capitalization" of "random words" in my post.
Reading my topic post, i am fairly sure that when you read the capitalized words in your head, you read them as strong, powerful words.
This method of capitalizing vital words is MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE that using bold.
Also, for using bold i would have to use the "[/bold]...[bold]" thing for EVERY WORD I WANT BOLDED.
I apologize that i have developed a keen sense of understanding the human mind, but do not hold it against me.

I would like you to go on the members list, find a user named "ii hacked ii"
Look at his recent posts.


Now tell me that everybody here types like a god

 

Your post makes me laugh, "Do you use English well? as it is meant to?" should be "Do you use the English language well? as it was meant to be used?".

"most EVERY topic" should be "almost EVERY topic" along with others...

While we are on the topic of abusing your stuff-ups "I know only a few people on this forum that i can trust to use English properly." since when do we need to trust someone to use correct English?

fin.

Edit: The fact this whole thread is about "Who can correct the most spelling and grammatical errors to make him/herself look more intelligent" makes me laugh even more.

 

I hate how you correct my errors, but it's funny when you correct others
<3

 

"Most every" is a term accepted in the English language. It is no error.

I can trust myself to know that certain people on this forum will NOT abuse it, such as Deacon Frost, who right now is the ONLY one i can think of.
I trust that Deacon Frost will use English properly.
This is not even a grammatical error.



It appears to me that you pointed out ONE "error" in my thread.
Which is not even an error, it is accepted in the English language. It is a different way of saying something.
Almost every- "almost all except ___"
Most every- "Most of every ___"

These have basically the same meaning, but are different ways of saying it.


So really, you pointed out NO ERRORS in my post.

You just wanted somebody to flame.

I didn't vote, because there are all kinds of people here:
-People who are new, and when you see something they wrote you go like: "Shit, does he even go to school"

-People who act normal, and sometimes use 'U' instead of 'You' and some more of those things.

Things like 'tbh' 'imo' 'lol' 'rofl' 'lmao' are a part of the internet-world now, so thats normal xD

 

+1 basically, I try to use good grammar but i slip :s

 

Maybe English of less proper grammar is more convenient to some sythees?XD
For example, I see some posts saying buy 1m $3 ea. I believe no one will disapprove that this spends you less time than if you write 'I'm buying 1 million gps for 3 dollars each'
rite?

 

I always do..

 

I can live with 1337 speak,

and some people maybe still elarning English, so it's normal they make a grammar mistake,

But it's pretty annoying to see someone get mixed up about "your" and "you're"

 

It's interesting to see that no leechers have commented on this thread. Also most of the people are experience sythers with 100+ posts. But I do agree with you, although i personally don't like people forgetting to use capital letters at the start of sentences. But i don't mind people missing 's in words like don't.

 

all the people who say "who the fuck cares if they spell right as long as we can read it?" i present to you this:

Code:

omg r u liek leet at scriptin an shit? dis way of wirtin is so mcuh fastr!

how is that readable? That sentence would waste 2 minutes of my life to decrypt and fully comprehend. People who writes like that should die a slow, painful death.

 

Most of the time, I write as neat as I can but every once in a while, I have to write something up really fast so I just type it out in a hurry and dont really care about spelling mistakes or capitalization or w/e.

 

lol we's beatz de gramma her wit a baseball bat

 

Most people I have exchanged words with can speak fluently in english.
However, when I go somewhere other than Something for All it seems everyone either starts talking in 1337/idiot speak or completely ignores proper grammar.
One guy in the guide part of the forum released a guide to help people speak 1337.

 

Well, you have to remember that everybody on this forum is probably under 12...So it's up to us to make the forum look more professional.

 

i eprsonaly like to beat proper grammer with a bat hmmk?

 

Allow me:

It's "English".

Capitalize "i".
And remove the second comma.

Actually... it's a waste of time to point out the rest. You basically just need to capitalize the pronoun "i" as well as the beginnings to each sentence.

Anyhow, I usually attempt careful grammatical consideration. Not to mention a decent vocabulary (and spelling, of course). Usually...

 

It's because people that use computers (especially gamers) try to work really fast, so they take shortcuts in everything. Grammar and spelling is one of the easiest things to cheat on because one can misspell a few words, but everyone will still understand the meaning of the phrase as a whole.
