Don't be fooled by his tough proper punctuated exterior he is a cuddly little polar bear inside...probably...
Our English lesson today consisted of the teacher confusing everyone by telling them how to use grammar and mainly the were where we're, their there they're examples, damn this set system!

You're = you are such as a future tense command or similar preference
Your = Possesion, Your life, Your bad.
and to finish off Cappin' lesson # 1
If a word ends in a s already then the apostrophe goes after such as;
James's cake = wrong
James' cake = right.

The James' thing has confused me, as whenever I write it I think I'm talking about multiple Jamesesuseseszuh's possessions.

I usually do, but when I'm tired I can't think straight and I post with terrible grammer.

Negative.
Both are correct, although the latter is preffered.
Like LZ, if I have to decifer what I'm about to read, I'm going to skip it.
Punctuation is your friend.
I also tend to use the following:
>.<
>_<
>.>
<.<
<_<
>_>
xD
-_-
and the fabled "/sarcasm" <-- utterly required for the internet.

Improper grammar and punctuation in forums is a pet peeve of mine. I have a very difficult time giving people who post like this...

i pre-ordered lego starwars for the wii, and now im a bit sick of waiting. the realease date has been put back so many times on amazon.co.uk im begining 2 think its not coming at all. what can they b doing 2 it thats taking so long? also orderd some of those wireless gamepads for the game cube thrustmaster are bringing out, which had an origional realease date very close to that of lego starwars (around 2nd november) and they are still yet to be released, its a good job i bought 2 cheapo wired ones from game because i bought gc mario kart and couldnt wait to play it lol. im sure people have had much longer waits than me for stuff, but this is my first proper go at pre-ordering something so im moaning lol.
...any credibility or respect whatsoever (I left the name out). I can't take your post seriously. It's not a chatroom. It just comes off as immature and unintelligent. It doesn't have to be perfect, but at least try to use some coherency. If you aren't still in kindergarten then don't post like you are. But that's just my opinion...
11-23-2007, 03:30 PM
You left out the fact that that guy posted with his wii.
First of all, that doesn't change the fact I'm not going to read it xD
Even spacing out your paragraphs between ideas makes for easier reading.
If a post is all cramped together, I'm most likely not going to read it.
I hate cramped posts.

Seriously? :/
Of course I prefer reading something that's got proper punctuation, syntax, and all that, but I'm not going to ignore someone's post just because they didn't split it into paragraphs. Do we really need to become grammar Nazis? We're on an internet forum, not discussing word changing issues.

Nah, I'm much worse than her on Wiichat... I'm a bit more laid back here though.
I hate bad grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
Depending on what portal editing involves, I wouldn't mind editing some of those. (As I have found a few kinks on the front page (No offense)).

For me i dont type type words that should have capital letters with actually capital letters like the word i. Also i dont use apostrophes as u may notice. And in that last sentence u might have noticed i used the word u. Ya i do that too. That pretty much sums it up.

No you're not, you just try to mimic and idolize her.

I can manage with bad punctuation if it's MANAGEABLE...However the whole web-slang to me is the dumbest thing conceived since suburban white boys started sagging their pants...It really is a blight on the human collective...

Agreed. Although sometimes I use a few here and there just to shorten things in instant messaging.

Same here too dude, but it's something I only use when it's really appropriate.
In most cases I try to avoid it...An example of when not to use web slang is in this mock convo:
HotMama8934: Hey Pizzaturdell
Pizzaturdell: Hey...
got and n00dz!?
HotMama8934: Pfft...piss off you ass!
Pizzaturdell: Oh Noes!1!!011! Not on my intarwebz LAWLZ!!1!!091!!
