    I personally don't see a problem with grammar at all, unless you consider the occasional newb like cjsknot.

      I think grammar is important. This is a great thread.

        One common error that is easy to understand:

        "thAn" is used to compAre.

        "then" is everything else.
        Nice.

          What are you people talking about? The 100 people out of 3000 on ffr that DO use correct grammar should just talk to each other and forget about the other people. And, oh by the way, MAJORITY RULES!

                Maka dis thread iz just talkinz 'boutz tHose peeps WhO talkiez likez dis and we'z like want itz to ToOOoOoOOoOotally stop. The other things like capitals/punctuation, proper grammar are just things that we think we should adress, because people there are no pay attention to type they how and end up post like this. We want to make this forum look better, otherwise, when some new guy comes by and sees that we can barely talk properly, they'll think twice about joining, let alone posting on the forums.

                  less people on the forums isnt always bad...i know the thread is mainly about the nUbs that use leet and dont actually spell out short little words and phrases...but people are starting to give me shit and i see no reason why...maybe my style annoys some people, but to say its hard to read is just stupid...if its hard for you to read 'blocks' of text, i would suggest not reading books

                    I understand that grammer is an issue here, but it is anywhere online. Because people go to school or they go to work and then they come home and they get online, they really don't want to type the right way... hence the shotning of things like:
                    lol
                    jk
                    jp
                    ty
                    np
                    gg
                    lmao
                    rofl
                    nmhjc
                    wut
                    ...ect... as for me well I'm not going to be typing with correct grammer but it won't be atrocious.

                      you almost make it seem like people talk like that here.

                        Ugh! I know how annoying it is, especially when the people posting in the whole internet slang are little pre-teens with too much attitude for their age.

                          Well, this is off subject, but I have a shirt that is like the first part of Sugarbyte's signature. "There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary, and those who don't".

                          Most of my friends were like "What's bin-air-ee?" I was like "Hahahahahahahaha..."

                          Signature subject to change.

                          THE ZERRRRRG.

                            I can finally rejoice. Yay.
                            Chances are I am going to make more and more mistakes after reading this thouhg.
                            Of course, I pride my slef on good grammer and language usage.
                            Also. I am pretty much anti "1337" as any one could bee.
                            I hate my keyboard. Thought as an input device should be implemented in the next version of Windows.
                            Blarg she is a monster and will eat you.
                            But the one thing everyone should do it to go through there posts and edit them for content.
                            Then, and only then will your sins be repayed. Fools.
                            Outwar is teh r0xroz
                            falsh mioves are teh wo0t
                            omg!!1111!!00100110

                            How many mistakes are in this block of text?
                            I will give you a hint, a hell of a lot.
                            Signatures are ignorant.
