THERE IS ANOTHER THING YOU SHOULD NOT DO WHEN POSTING. I AM DEMONSTRATING RIGHT NOW IN THIS VERY POST. TURN OFF YOUR CAPSLOCK, DAMMIT.

I'm sorry some people lack the attention span needed to read a few paragraphs,

Back from wherever. I can see not much happened in my leave, but this thread rules. Thank you, Moogy. Maybe some n00bs will actually read this and learn like, actual proper grammar and stuff. Online and in chat rooms and stuff it's not quite as necessary (although stuff like 'omg u r dum l8r' still pisses me off), but a forum is not a chat room, and there's no reason why you can't take the extra 2.94829023 seconds to make your posts readable.

I hope you are joking.

"Fewer than three" would be the correct grammar here.

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

BluE_MeaniE · 03-22-2004, 12:28 AM

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

**nickadeemus** · 03-22-2004, 03:13 AM

One common error that is easy to understand:

"thAn" is used to compAre.

"then" is everything else.

rushofdarkness · 03-22-2004, 09:12 PM

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!

makaveli121212 · 03-23-2004, 07:51 PM

you guys make it like its hard to read and understand when it isnt at all...youre just mad cause it annoys you...well, quit your whining...most people will not change anyway, deal with it

hEaLiNgViSiOnAnGeLicMiX · 03-23-2004, 08:10 PM

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.

makaveli121212 · 03-23-2004, 08:18 PM

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

AmandaBear88 · 03-24-2004, 05:46 AM

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.
