The state of grammar on FFR...

[Upon1]

lol, i agree with spec, you people are complaining over something as stupid as grammar, its one thing if you can't write for shit like all the ganster talk. such as wud up home fizzle or shit like that. i dont' know about you people, but for myself i can type just well, just i'm too lazy to punctuate or capitalize. i do it whenever i feel like it

[BluE_MeaniE]

If you're bad at grammar or typing, you should learn.
And one way to do that is by practicing.
It's valuable in this day and age.

Holy shit Moogy! Thank you for finally noticing that people are idiots.

I have been correcting grammatical errors for years now, in hopes that people will say things like, "Oh, I made a mistake there, maybe I should learn how to spell that word next time, so I don't look like a moron."

But no, it hasn't happened. I know sometimes people are lazy, and you know, put things like "jk" or "lol", and I can see those being okay, like there's really no other way to tell someone you're laughing at their joke, unless of course you have a webcam or they're sitting right in front of you.

I also can understand the odd mistake of not capitalizing, such as i. The word I is used a lot, and it becomes a little frustrating to have to hit shift, just for one letter. But other than that, just hit shift, seriously.

And lastly, stop with the ghetto/hacker/preteen/retarded slang. No one cares how 1337 you are, or if something is "teh shiz". If you want to talk like that, no, if you talk like that, you're an idiot, no questions asked.

Wow. And Dan Scores once again. Heh - Point proven Dan.. I myself try to type good. Even if I do use " lol " or " jk " mainly because I am just too tired to spell it out. But as far as the " slang " %$^# goes... No, I agree it all gets quite annoying. But point proven Dan, good job. -rawr-

"teh shiz".

For some reason I pride myself on being one of the about 5 people on the planet that uses proper capitalization and punctuation over AIM.

I'm late in posting, but I second that one. MSN too. And basically anywhere else involving me typing something on a keyboard.

I've made enemies by correcting every one of the chatter's sentences. If someone talks to me on AIM or MSN and doesn't type semi-literate, I ban then. It's fun. Go away.

PS - "LOL" IS NOT A WORD. If you use it in the middle of a sentence, you are saying "Laughing out loud" in the middle of your sentence. This makes you retarded. Don't ever say "lol" without quotations around it to show that you know it's the worst acronym ever to be invented in the history of the Internet.

[QreepyBORIS]

I usually capitalize and punctuate on AIM.

Yey.

[Anticrombie0909]

I don't always capitalize, but I usually punctuate and I always have correct spelling. I also don't use annoying acronyms like 'lol' incessantly...well, not seriously, anyway. But again, AIM is different than a forum...there's just no excuse not to take the extra time on here.

[BluE_MeaniE]

Yeah, I always type with correct grammar and spelling, unless I'm typing with one hand on AIM or something.
In which case, I don't capitalize and spell a lot of things wrong.

[Treffpunkt]

I'm probably one of the worst Grammar Nazis around...

[Chrissi]

I am a spelling/grammar Nazi.

And I find it funny when people say they are a "grammer Nazi". So ironic.

Edit: fo shizle ma nizal roflolmao so tihs is sliek teh OMG UR ST00PED plz hlp meh omg omg omg fkuc u ur stopednim nawt

That's me. Seriously. I do that all the time. I'm doing it right now. See, I speak like that but I type properly. That's what makes me an INDIVIDUAL. Sure, I may sound like a moron, but at least I know how not to! And everybody understands me! It doesn't prohit anybody's understanding of my speeech! ROFLOLMAO! UR STOOPED IF U CANT UNRSTND MEH!!

And lastly, stop with the ghetto/hacker/preteen/retarded slang. No one cares how 1337 you are, or if something is "teh shiz". If you want to talk like that, no, if you talk like that, you're an idiot, no questions asked.

OMG HAX
