I'm starting to try to ignore it. It just that when people try to appear smart, yet have fundimental English errors, I have to point it out.

The whole point of grammar, spelling, and punctuation is that we don't know what the hell you're talking about without it.

Imagine, if you will, some person approaching you on the street. Now, you're a friendly type, but this person just starts yelling. Yelling what sort of seems to be english, but mostly not really. From what you do understand, it's all worthless babble. What he's saying to you isn't really worth the time and thought you've put into understanding him, and now you're another minute closer to your grave.

but the thing is you actually understand it...but flame the grammar anyway...whats more is most people are plain rude about it too...and start topics about peoples grammar usage too. And 95 percent of the time, grammar flamers have bad grammar sometimes themselves.

^^ I agree. It's just more pleasant to look at proper grammar (that you've experienced all of your life), proper capitalization, and sentences which don't run-on.

Well, maybe you should just stop bitching about it and get with the program. Then, not only will you not have to deal with everyone hating you - you'll actually know how to write.

God, some of you people are effing lazy.

That was intentional, wasn't it?

Mostly people can understand posts with bad grammar/spelling/punctuation, but at times a single comma or letter can make a very big difference.

why make a big deal out of it on this forum though? I mean...it comes to where we go off topic and talk about people's grammar...what do you guys go on AIM and talk to your friends but trying to make sure you type correctly with correct grammar, always use commas, avoid lazy phrases like IDK or OMG, and make sure you use punctuation all the time? I sure don't...because the thing is we don't really care about our grammar where it doesn't matter. Take it with an example for AIM.


Billybob1212: Hey dude where u goin tonite?
SpecialED43: staying home...did anyone mention that your grammar sucks on AIM?
Billybob1212: dude...its aim
SpecialED43 You are a complete idiot. It is not aim. It is AIM. Gosh...get it right you retard!
Billybob1212: Dude...why's it matter? I do it cuz it doesn't matter and cuz it saves time when talking online..so like...shut up plz
SpecialED43: GOD DAMMIT! THERE YOU GO WITH YOUR BAD GRAMMAR AGAIN!!! I'm bloocking you until you get your act together.
Billybob1212: Dude...you just misspelled blocking.
SpecialED43: Oh my god! I am an idiot...i should go kill myself for making a mistake like that. What has gotten into me.
SpecialED43: Oh no I did it again! I forgot to put a question mark at the end of that last sentence. I hope you understand that!
Billybob1212: Dude...i dont care about grammar
Billybob1212: It's just aim...and i wanted to talk to you..not argue over our spelling mistakes where it doesn't rly matter
SpecialED43: You'll never understand! Grammar is my life! And I just made two irreversible mistakes! You will never understand the importance of good grammar online!!!


Two days later ed was found in his room with a bullet through his head. Turns out he committed suicide because he misspelled a word on aol instant messenger.

WvW, you seem to take stuff TOO far out of hand.

No one is going to commit suicide because people comment on how their grammar sucks.

Let me put it this way. We usually don't complain about such unless it horribly butchers the sentence. Bartman and ?G's early posts were complete gibberish that was hard to understand and decipher. When I'm reading posts, I don't want to spend a damn minute and a half trying to decipher someone else's garbage. I'm sure that no one cares how each other posts on AIM, I really don't, but I don't use the lz wy of typn lyke dis, I actually make sure what I'm posting/sending is legible. Sue me if I want to be understood.

You, for one sir, should stop complaining about the way people do things around here, if you don't like them, you can ignore the issue, or leave. Plain and simple, it's not hard.
Make sure your posts are legible, it helps, and peopel won't just constantly pass up your posts.

Yes.
Since I actually KNOW HOW TO TYPE, it doesn't take any extra time at all.

Am I the only one amused at the fact that wvsw doesn't realise it takes more effort to complain about people making fun of his bad grammar than it does to simply type correctly?
