People should types like they talks

Yeah, and a lot of people should shut up. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ok, an indicative can never be inflected so what's (notice the apostrophe that's lacking in your post) that 's' doing at the end of that?

Oh, and personally I think grammar is a lot of fun, or at least very interesting.

p.p.s. On the Internet, grammer (both proper and improper) is illegal and is punishable with no less than twenty-five years of correcting second grader's book reports. I strongly advise you to stop this nonsense now, before you get caught.

Grammar (yes, spelling is important too).

I don't see why you wouldn't write in proper English with correct grammar and spelling. It makes it easier to read for everyone else, and you look more intelligent and less noobish.

**Wyborn** · 08-25-2005, 01:08 PM

For the record, I was being mostly sarcastic.

that would be "n0ob-ish" (as in stfu n0ob) i dont use correct grammar cause its to long to use any way.

The thing is, grammar is ok... I mean, people like to have rules to follow (it makes them feel like they are doing something right in the world), but if I misspell grammar in such a way that you can figure out what it means (wich you obviously did), it doesn't matter at all. Language is about communication, and as long as people can intrepret what it is you're saying/typing/signing/writing/whathaveyou then you are an effective communicator. Period.

Doesn't look too off from your usual posting habits.

You know, it's not just if someone can interpret your typing. It should be out of the question that your words might be mistaken for something other than was intended. The real importance lies in how your message is interpreted. For instance: Misspelling and shortening most words without a care makes you look like an imbecile. The fact that you support yourself by claiming that clearly formed sentences are lame (or require too much time) enflames the situation.

Now anyway, this is the Zelda forum. I just wanted to point out that I was irritated by your 1337 mispelingz.

[img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img] You're now correcting my spelling of a non-word? I believe the most used spelling is even n00b, so you failed at correcting me.

And now you're telling someone with a BA in English language what language is about? You sort of have a point, but the thing is that you cannot always interpret misspelled posts correctly. Also, language is very ambiguous and something as small as a comma can change the meaning of an utterance completely.

Furthermore, as AI and I have pointed out, it just makes you look stupid.

Mr.Hammermap · 08-26-2005, 06:12 AM

And even further, she is arguing with mods, making her even stupider, and she posts a random jumble of stupid things in all of her posts. "Acidic Sylvia"? "On the Internet, grammer (both proper and improper) is illegal and is punishable with no less than twenty-five years of correcting second grader's book reports"? Talking about noobs, yet you are one , so you shouldn't be talking about it to ANYONE.

GRENTLEMEN · 08-26-2005, 07:09 AM

No ganging up, here. She's not V-mon reincarnate(..that you would even get that reference, I'm in doubt).

Anyway, All I want to know about Dark Link is why anyone would waste time obsessing over him. It's not as though he actually posesses any personality; all you may find attractive about him is your own work. Similar to Link, in a slightly more perverted sense of the concept.

I think its really cool that someone gave him his own personality making him a real live character instead of Link's shadow. I love my friend's story of him.

The Missing Link · 08-26-2005, 07:34 AM

I've warned you before to stay on topic. I let this topic go on because it wasn't bad. Now everything has fallen apart.

Mr. Lock Button, I choose you.
