Yes. It has become drastic. My very soul has begun to deteriorate. I fear, if nothing is done, I may become an empty, soulless spambot who lurks the forum neroposting and having 1 billion banners in my signature. Please, people, it's not that difficult. I understand that some people are from foreign countries and/or very young, but really, it can't hurt to think 'Why am I putting this apostrophe in?' rather than just mindlessly pressing the apostrophe key every few times you use an s, just for good measure. Okay, this is in the rant forum. But it's not a real rant. More a way of informing people, and partly a cry for help. I'm considering posting a guide to common grammar errors and how to avoid them, but is that too condescending? It just seems like some people here could use one... Opinions? Am I being silly? Thanks, and I hope you will take action to save my soul. |

...I'm a Jew. Haha, I'm not offended, but I'm definitely not a Nazi... Anyway, back on topic. I know a lot of people put in effort, and that effort is appreciated, whatever the result. And I'm not trying to be the annoying-corrects-all-your-errors type, just... As I said, think before posting. Read it through, even just once to correct typos. A little effort goes a long way. |

I always try to think about grammar and so on, but to be really honest it is really hard when English isn't your language. I'm not always in the mood to check translations and if you are in a hurry or not in the mood, the last thing you care about is a silly apostrophe that isn't necessary for understanding a sentence. (Makes sure I'm using the apostrophe for you xD) But I understand when you get annoyed when you see people posting "dun" and "cuz" and that sort of noob language.

@MyLittleVampire Hmmmm The whole grammar nazi thing is just someone who hates people who make grammatical errors x3 Nothing serious and ill take down the comments if you wish Also @Kind I would say that your English is impeccable to be honest, i dont think ive seen you make many mistakes (If any) considering it isnt your mother tongue BACK onto topic I can understand for people who dont speak english and who make the effort to translate their posts into English. That doenst bother me Its the people who make like 5 errors per sentence and it just makes it hard for anyone to understand what they are saying Edited by Mr. Mudkipz, Aug 18 2011, 09:54 PM.

Oh, I know, it was supposed to be a joke. >.< I fail. Yeah, I'm also surprised that English isn't your first language, Kind and Ninja. I find it is often the case that those who have to make an effort do better than those who it should be easy for. Stuff like 'cuz' and 'dun' don't usually irritate me, for some reason; my brain seems to just skip over them. But it's stuff like you're and their used incorrectly that I notice. Don't ask why, I have no idea. |

I think you should kill CommieKipz instead of pikachus. That is all. Edited by NinjaGod, Aug 19 2011, 01:14 AM.

We should put those GIFS warning that if somebody uses improper grammar, we shall kill a Ninetails. (I did that on purpose Mudkipz )

My first language isn't English and honestly I don't care if English speaking people don't respect their own language. And I also understand people who are foreigners and can't speak English or are very bad at it. So I must say that bad grammar doesn't annoy me that much. After all no matter how you look at it English IS a hard language to learn. Especially when all that you'll ever use it for is to talk about pokemon on some internet forum. But the thing that bothers me the most is all that internet slang(?) I don't know how to name it properly. The problem is that it makes posts almost impossible to read for people who don't know the topic. It's not about some wide-known acronyms but those that aren't that common. |
