Space Cowboy 1,392 Posted December 11, 2011 I don't mind simple grammar mistakes, but when people butcher the English language I get upset. 2 Sora96 and Kinode reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sora96 17,256 Posted December 11, 2011 Sora... you often misuse "your/you're, there/their/they're" quite often. Who are you to come and correct a person's grammar when you don't even get that correct? But as long as people make posts that are somewhat understandable I'm fine. However, if they're trying to be serious the least they could do is write correctly so I can understand they're trying to make a point. I'm not perfect myself and I do often make little mistakes that I do try to correct if I see them but I mean come on dude... nobody is perfect. Ha ha. To be fair in 2011 I had a crap English teacher. I've only had one good English teacher which was back in 2010. Sora96, I remember when you used bad grammar. -is tempted to look back at your old posts- But you like my old posts.

baylaust 2,531 Posted December 12, 2011 I try to use the best grammar that I possibly can. Not because it looks neater, not because it's what others expect from me, but simply because it's like a second nature to me, and it's easier for me to type like this. I can live with other people using improper grammar, like say, not capitalizing 'I' or capitalizing my username. When people make a complete mockery of the English language, like this: y4ll jus7 pissd cuz u dun no haow 2 sp33k c00l le1k 4ll t3h pplz taht r 2 k3wl 2 talk f4ncy le1k u. fuk c4ps n gramer. that's when I get annoyed. But either way, nobody's perfect. I've made my fair share of grammar and spelling mistakes, and I'm POSITIVE everybody else here has as well. I don't see the need to call people out on their grammar, because then I'd seem like a perfectionist, or a grammar nazi, but most of all, because it's unnececcary. If someone speaks like my good friend Chaosx's example back there, then sure, but if it's just a capital letter or something like that, just let it slide. 3 Sora96, Chaosx and AnsemTheWise reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cellar Door 652 Posted December 14, 2011 you're try not to start sentences with conjunctions like some of the ones you've reported? looked fine to me, you're just far too picky for someone that can't write that well themselves lmao. 1 Paranoia reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cellar Door 652 Posted December 14, 2011 either "one I can easily fix" or "I can easily fix it" remember to use a question mark in a question or it looks like an awkward statement don't be hypocritical. if you want to correct everyone else, everyone else has the right to correct you. 1 Paranoia reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cellar Door 652 Posted December 14, 2011 don't make a lot of fragment sentences, if you have a bunch of short sentences together just combine one or two after you edited it.... i don't see anything i've said that's mean to you. i haven't even called you a name, which is exactly what you're doing to me. seems a tad bit immature, hm? anyways, i'm going to stop posting now because i have better things to do than try to help an immature teenaged boy with his grammar and punctuation on a kingdom hearts fansite. 5 Koko, Kinode, heartless101 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You told me to shut my mouth, and it's been the way you've been talking to me.. And now you've just called me "an immature teen aged boy". To be completely honest I've been told by many people I can be very mature for my age. And I never called you a 'bitch'. I said that you were acting like one towards me. There is a big difference. 1 Snow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well maybe she had a point by telling you to shut your mouth if you were gonna be a hypocrite. At times you can be mature but saying "ooh but I'm so mature" isn't. If you were mature you'd just accept,fix and move on. That is all. 3 heartless101, Snow and Cellar Door reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
