am i finally accepted?

[evilbutterfly]

Don't make topics anymore....Seriously, if you made a topic, that would be awesome.

GAH!! self-contradiction!!!

[Omeganitros]

stfu, I messed up.

[IAMTHEEVILBEAN]

Who are you?

[evilbutterfly]

well, i wasnt sure if u meant to do that, or what. and even if u did mess up, i have no idea what u meant by that. maybe i'm just a lil slow tonight...

[GuidoHunter]

Arch you are an annoying dumbass

that's the most intelligent thing i've heard u say so far, and about the only thing that wasnt a complete lie.

oh, and Arch, u forgot "an." and for the record, i am your elder, so i do deserve some respect from u. however, i'd be quite surprised if u would "lower" urself to the level of being nice and friendly for a change. i never did anything to u (that i can remember), so i dont see why u find me to be an "annoying little twit."

Whoa, you seriously dropped in my respect register. First, saying that COBOL said something intelligent? That lowers you to his level, although it's not like you do that often. But demanding respect from Arch because you're older? Dude... He doesn't owe you shit.

I don't want you to think that I dislike you as much as Arch, for that's not true. I didn't like you when I first saw your posts (I don't remember who came to the forums regularly first) because of your atrocious grammar, and I had no respect for you for that. You have been accepted much more here, so I can look past the grammar (which says a lot), but until you start typing the full word "you", I'm not going to give you much credit. On top of that, I haven't found too many of your posts to be worth reading.

So, yeah, that's my impression of you. I realize you probably couldn't care less, as I don't command much power around here, but whatever.

EDIT: Oh yeah, IT'S "Y'ALL", NOT "YA'LL"! DO YOU PEOPLE NEVER THINK ABOUT CONTRACTIONS?!?!

I changed my mind.

I hate you and hope you die of testicular cancer.

PREACH IT, BROTHER GUIDO! HALLELUJAH!

[Crymson]

Testicular cancer is a serious problem... Or something. Anyways. Question. Why is everyone so concerned about being "popular" in a forum. So you're not accepted. Whoo. Every member here is an island and can remain so. You don't need forum-friends (or fiends) to justify yourself. No worries, be happy, have a muffin.

[Omeganitros]

Excellent point, Crymson. Hakuna Matata.

[evilbutterfly]

i just agreed with COBOL because he was against Arch. lesser of two evils is still evil, but yeah. and i've seen ya'll and y'all, because it could be ya + all or you + all and you drop the ou. idunno, doesnt really matter, just as long as u know what i mean. thats partly why i dont bother typing stuff out.

i'm just so used to not having to type stuff out that i dont. I mean, I could easily change and capitolize and not abbreviate and do my best to spell things correctly, but I don't find it to be necessary (sp?). Some of you may not have even noticed that I suddenly started typing correctly, which would prove that it really is frivolous to think badly of people for their lack of proper capitolization. I think badly when people do really stupid stuff as far as grammar goes. Take a look at one of the Pump It Up posts on these forums. One is nothing but newbies with posts in the teens (or less) with HORRIBLE grammar. Seriously, when I see things like that I cringe, and it makes me wonder how some of you can think so poorly of people just because they are too lazy to hit shift before every sentence.

My online persona is a reflection of myself. In real life, I'm a lazy bastard who doesn't bother speaking correctly all the time. Online, I show this by being too lazy to capitolize or spell words out. I also trail of when I talk. Thus, I use the triple dots at the end of my sentences way more than I should. I also emphasize words and things online using all caps, bold, and italics (each has its purpose). I do this to try and emulate my vocal inflections so readers can better "hear" how I'm saying things. Body language and tone are a huge part of communication, so I reserve caps for times when things need BIG emphasis, and I use action stars a lot to show what I'm doing as I talk.

Honestly, I don't see what the big deal with grammar is. My rule is: as long as I know what you're saying without having to think twice about the words, you're okay. Sometimes my overuse of commas can make me hard to understand, but that's about it, and commas are how I talk in person, so I can't help but use them. I think it shows how I don't shut up or breath and, therefore, people don't have the opportunity to interject their comments.

well, that was way too much typing. i'm done now

[Jam930]

Type how you want, but people will react to it.

[Moogy]

You spelled "capitalize" wrong so many times I started crying.

[Chrissi]

Oh, I forgot about his spelling. evilbutterfly can't spell.

Other than that he's cool.

[evilbutterfly]

gah, i try. there are some words i always mess up. dammit, i knew i should have checked on the spelling of capitalize. i'm more of a math person than a grammar person. and i spell better than some people *cough87xcough* i just have trouble with some words. particularly things with double letters, like necessary. i can never remember if it has 2 Ss or 2 Rs or what...stupid English. why cant it just be spelled how it sounds like in Spanish!?

[Jam930]

Gah, I try.

There are some words I always mess up. Damnit, I knew I should have checked on the spelling of capitalize. I'm more of a math person than a grammar person, and I spell better than some people *cough87xcough*.

I just have trouble with some words. Particularly things with double letters, like 'necessary'. I can never remember if it has two S's or two R's or what...stupid English. Why cant it just be spelled how it sounds like in Spanish!?

Wow he just got smarter... oh wait I edited that. =P
