Form flamers come on in

Sun Jun 15, 2003 6:02 am by callmeminyme

you may not belive this but if you say hi to newbies and treat them respectably and help them, they might just become your saveyour, ive killed a loudmouther on a server for calling me a retarded newb (first time i relized i had some talent on the game), there is a form on the game called mindrover, i dast you to flame one person and youl piss off the entier form, i bet you the moderators may even ban you, you know why that is? because the population of the mindrover forms have half a brain to relize that flaming people is just a bad way to get attention, when i was starting out on that form i did something realy retarded (i know it now) i was expecting to get burned to a crisp, but they just said dont do that in the future and answered my question.

this message is for thoes o you who graze the forms looking for a word misspled so you can start *****ing about it, get a life flamer

It wouldn't really mean a whole great lot to you, but the importance of grammar and punctuation are reasonable attacks on a person. Hell you can fail a term paper in colledge for not quoting 2 words from a person. IT IS important. The sooner people realize this the easier it will be to resume your life. When faced with the grammar police it would be more beneficial to say something like, "thank you for correcting my error", rather than.

"OMG UR ST0PID, NO 1 C4RES IF ETS SPILLED WRITE~!"

Don't tell me you had to go back and fix some grammar mistakes?
You misspelled 'beneficial', by the way.

-Crunchodile in general

*EDIT*
"thank you for correction my error" sounds rather ungrammatical too, wouldn't you say?

yup. I was expecting that but smart alec remarks will not do anything to me

Sun Jun 15, 2003 9:16 am by Voice_Of_Logic

See look I went and fixed it. How hard was that?

*edit* btw if you want to be my personal proof reader go ahead. I make many mistakes so it should be pretty easy. It's like my own personal spell checker, that talks back to me, woweee~!

Proper grammer is important in all walks of life. Whether or not you are in college is irrelevant. You should take pride in what you type. It is an extension of who you are and a representation of your intelligence.

If you have problems with people correcting your spelling/grammer, then keep it to yourself. I, or anyone else, am not responsible for your laziness. If you do not like people to complain about your spelling/grammer, do something about it.

Edit - Yes, I am correcting mistakes.

Dealing with criticism is a part of life also. The more a person gets used to it, the less stressed and angry they will become. It is also kind of ironic, your criticizing people who criticize you.

most of you fail to realize in your tight, secure, suburban worlds that many people are also foreign of which english is at best a secondary language if it is at all. so let up on the grammar/spelling flames, it has always been a peeve of mine... if you can read it and understand it in its context, then why bitch about it?

I knew this would come up. This game, and this community, is predominately english speaking. It is expected of everyone who wants to participate in this community to speak english. If this community was German-based, it would be expected of everyone to speak proper German, would it not? Why should it be any different for english? Is it because us evil Americans speak it?

Speaking of peeves, a big one for me is waddling through a 6+ line post with only a comma used as puncuation, no capitalizations, and no complete sentences. Since it is a peeve of mine, I will bitch about it (as you seem to bitch about us that like to read proper english).

According to my experience on 2+ years I've been here, the lame typists came mostly from UK and US. Australians, Germans, Dutch, New Zealanders, Singaporeans etc speak moderate, if not good, proper English. There are exceptions here and there, but mostly that's the rule. How ironic. Not saying the British and Americans are all bad linguists, but the proportions of their bad English speakers compared to other non-native bad English speakers are quite astonishingly high.

The Americans who can't speak english properly are the hicks from the boonies.

Fear Factor: exactly.

Zenic: You'd be shocked to find out how wrong you are.
