Oh thank you, you all are so kind.

I need Espadon's help.

I try and keep my grammar well but I don't really care if other people are bad. I mean, not all people can speak well english like I does.

Maybe you didn't notice, but you made some mistakes. No worries though, I totally fixed it for you.

law you just don't get it do you

Well, it would be very nice to have a friendly grammar competition! What do you folks say?

You know what I REALLY find amusing though. When people attempt in insult you in a chat line, calling you a moron or stupid, etc... And they spell like a whole bunch of words wrong... Then when you try to tell them about "irony", they start dissolving and dying in misery. So much fun.

I really hate that though... When people misspell "your" "you're". Like... srsly. BASIC GRADE 2 SPELLING.

tehsnipah · « **Reply #46 on:** December 28, 2008, 10:04:57 am »

What do you prefer reading, your or ur?

echo_trail · « **Reply #47 on:** December 28, 2008, 10:51:25 am »

"your".. i hate it when people shorten words down. I also insist on writing "brb" and stuff in full length, even ingame.

tehsnipah · « **Reply #48 on:** December 28, 2008, 11:31:21 am »

I can see that you're a true grammartard/whore. @_@

I don't mind things like "brb," but I hate it when people get their "their, they're, there"'s wrong.

Link terminated and user warned for advertising weight loss product. If you wanna lose weight, stop eating hamburgers.

ahahahaha I knew you guys wouldn't get it. I hate explaining such things, but that was a link to a "joke" e-book parodying such campy self-help or get rich quick plans, INTENTIONALLY written entirely without any regard to the rules of spelling or grammar (again, to parody sloppily written and very obvious scams.) I figured it might catch the attention of some of the absolutely absurd grammar freaks you find on the internet, so you shouldn't remove my warn since I was trolling anyway.

just thought i'd explain it a bit further

Same...

Like if we all just stopped caring about spelling entirely, then people are just gonna say... "aw, it's fine" every single time... It'll just keep going downhill till BAM. Herpes.

I only use short forms to extremely long phrases like: "LAUGH OUT LOUD" or "BE RIGHT BACK". Those are also extremely common phrases, so I think the short forms are still okay. But things like "Your", no need to shorten it further (unless I'm typing with one hand).

"Your" and "You're" is a big difference, which can be annoying. =.=

jrgp · « **Reply #54 on:** December 29, 2008, 07:25:23 am »

I hate having to read IM acronym crap, poorly thought out sentences, and overall laziness in forum posts. I think these things are okay for IM and IRC, but not for when you actually have the time to type out a well thought out and constructive reply.

Espadon · « **Reply #55 on:** December 29, 2008, 10:11:02 am »

I HATE it so when people use coarse instead of course >.< Doesn't it scream out WRONG!WRONG!WRONG! to them??

ds dude · « **Reply #56 on:** December 29, 2008, 11:04:41 am »

What I really HATE is the fact that when people say, "LOL", but they don't really mean it.

Espadon · « **Reply #57 on:** December 29, 2008, 11:27:39 am »

Well nowadays lol is just a generic response that goes with anything to make it less awkward.

"Uhhhh my gramps died last night"
"lol"
