Can we all type correctly please?

Post by Zhen »

Should we make decent grammar a forum rule or something?

I'm not insisting on everyone be able to write like Bakemaster or Moogie, but at least try and use periods please. Sometimes I get so lost in reading a lot of posts because people don't try to use periods.

Sad fat of the internet: grammar rules on a message board -> dead message board.
EDIT: Fact. Not sad fat.

Yes yes, well, At least I try to make good punctuation use, but also, im only a freshman//sophomore and although I think I am quite intelligent for my age, as well as knowledgeable, I can't be expected to use words like anti-disestablishmentarianism or floccinaucinihilipilification every other post. Do you understand? Though I find my posts decent compared to most. I think this forum is GREAT compared to some other forums I was associated with. :P

post-scrpit. also known as. p.s.

(freshman//sophomore at a high-school level, not collegiate.)

I also cannot be held accountable for any obfuscate references or other remarks I make, for I am, how you say, weird.

Not every post requires the use of a diverse vocabulary, a little grammar and correct spelling goes a long way in forums.

Why not look for a forum spell checker? I know it doesn't work for grammar.. but at least people might be able to read what others are saying a little easier?

Edit:

Thought I would do the work for you :)

I think we should just get rid of typed posts, and replace the reply text box with a draw box. Then everyone would be happy!

I always try to use good grammar, but English is not my native language. And that counts for more people here, I think. :)
