Shockingly awful grammar

[Mylez]

This can irritate me aswell at times. It's not exactly difficult to be litterate. :roll:

 

Maybe what you saw was somebody being idiotic, I often do this with friends.

 

For example,

 

 

 

"so i herd rocky is nub kai?"

 

"lies nao"

 

"noes i r not lie. It be truthz wat"

 

"lulz naw mylz be teh nub"

 

"liek noes. u fail."

 

 

 

My friends and I do this all the time, picked Rocky at random because he's posted on here.

[buzz_knight]

between friends it is perfectly acceptable.

 

 

 

BUT when it is to someone you may have never spoke to or met it's annoying, great way to good off a good impression.. wreaks of "i do not know the English language well".

 

 

 

if anything Runescape should IMPROVE peoples english, or other language.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i am not held responsible for any spelling mistakes or grammatical errors in this post... :D

Made me LOL.

 

 

 

But yeah I agree, first impressions really do mean a lot. Especially when you're trying to trade items, I mean seriously... who wants to do business with someone who is completely illiterate? :wall:

[Moad14]

Even the posts that claim how important spelling is have mistakes in them. #-o

 

 

 

I do not tolerate spelling mistakes on obvious words. If someone misspells something and it looks like "oilgopoly" or "pianisimo" I can forgive them that. If I see intentional spelling errors, such as using the letter Z to pluralize, using "1337 speak," or such replacements as "u" for "you," "r" for "are," et cetera, I will simply not tolerate it. I'm very friendly normally, but if you come up to me and say "Will u sell me sum nats pl0x???" I'm not likely to even respond.

 

What bothers me more than intentional marring of the English language is the use of "lol" though. When I see "I'm out of nature runes; I've got to run to the Grand Exchange, lol!" and some other idiot responds with "Lmao!!!" it is literally all I can do to contain myself.

i agree with you,(though forgive me for any spelling errors :( ), though you are right with the use of "lol", i never understand why every sentence has to have "lol", "lmao", "rofl" in! it makes no sense.

 

 

 

especially in the example you have given, how is going to the grand exchange a "lol" and "lmao" moment?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

p.s 100th post

[homowz]

well sometimes u just have to accept them, most fault (i say most, not all) by some1 who doesnt speak english as a native language and isnt old enough to get some decent english at school its sometimes hard to know the correct spelling for a word. thats when they try to form the word themself and make it so that if u would speak the word aloud u understand what it means... and also, be happy that u can really speak english cuz i dunno if uve ever heard a french speak english but, u wouldnt realy like it either :lol:

Its hard for me to take you seriously when you're that ignorant.

[BloodArgon]

To be fair, on the internet language is played around with so much that there are so many weird alterations on the words we use. As long as it is understandable I am alright with it, but often it is quite stupid and needless, for example, '1337' speech.

 

 

 

If its worth doing once, its worth doing right.

 

If its worth doing twice, its worth doing right.

 

If its worth doing three times, and you still don't get it, your an idiot.

Capital B between friends it is perfectly acceptable.

 

 

 

Dont start sentences with but, or capitals BUT when it is to someone you may have never spoke to or met it's annoying, great way to good off a good impression.. Wreaks are things like sunken boats, crashed planes, and etc. You failed so hard even GOOGLE suggested you use "reeks"wreaks of "i do not know the English language well".

I'm so bookmarking that to copy and paste into all the threads like that...

[Randox]

The only thing that ever truly makes me loose my cool is when the tenses don't match. I am not even talking like the conjugation of "present perfect" or "past participle" or "present participle". Sometimes it comes up, but I only get made when the past, present, or future part becomes mangled. I understand that english is not easy, and once you hit tenses the english conjugation system is so complex it just blows your mind. I doubt many people who speak english even as a first language really understand it (I understand the fundamentals).

 

 

 

It's things like: "I'm went(ing)/go to the GWD do you wan't to go with me. Belive it or not, I have seen went, wenting, and go all inplace of going. I don't curse or call them noobs or anything, but I often do correct them to the best of my abilitys. I can't be a grammar nazi, mostly because my grammar is far from perfect, especialy when I type (I am much better when I speak english out loud to people).

 

 

 

I would get mad aat people for confusing then and than, but I can't always remember what the difference is (I sort of know it, but can't describe it), but no one uses 'than' anyways so it rarely comes up.

 

 

 

In real life store is open/closed dirves me nuts.

 

The signs in store windows should read: The store is open -or- The store is close

 

It sounds wrong but thats only because your used to hearing it that way. I have seen one store in my life (a book store) that had the correct sign.

 

To realise the truth of it, try this one out: The store is opened (which is what it would be if 'closed' were correct).

 

If I remember correctly, 'opened' and 'closed' are past perfect. The '-ed' suffix is considered a purely past tense form in english anyways, and while there might be exception, this is not one of them. 'Is' is present progressive. You can not put present progressive with a past perfect.

Ever thought that the people could have a learning disorder?

 

Yes 90% of runescape has a learning disorder.

 

 

 

That disorder is being 12.

[compfreak847]

Around 9/10ths the people in PTP and 99/100ths the people in FTP? I doubt it. More like underdeveloped frontal lobes.

I, personally, resent that remark.

 

 

 

I've been playing since I was, ohh.. nine. I think I haven't mangled words as badly as I've seen other people mangling them since I was ten, which was three years ago.

 

 

 

Please, remember: age =/= intelligence, ability to spell, maturity, or sanity. I'm not perfect -- no one is -- but I try my hardest to spell correctly, especially on 'teh intarwebs'.

 

 

 

Now stop calling the immature people twelve-year-olds (try nine year old instead :P ) and do more important things, like having fun.

A 12 year old, on average, is less mature then a 21 year old. There may be exceptions either way, but there are biological differences (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal_lobe) between the two that means the vast majority of 21 year olds are smarter and more mature then most 12 year olds. Same goes for 9 to 13.

On average... right, I forgot that I'm a wee bit above average XD.

 

 

 

However, the majority of RuneScape players are teenagers, NOT 21-year-olds. It still grinds on my nerves when I see someone -- who almost has to be older than me, with the current state of affairs -- using worse grammar and spelling than I, though.

 

 

 

I'll give some leeway because of the lack of space, but there's this little thing known as breaking your sentences up into smaller pieces...

Still, the average 9 year old's grammer\knowledge < the average 16 year olds. And how do you know how old the people arguing with you are? 'the current state of affairs'? My friend's son has played since he was 6 years old. He's now 10, and he's fairly high level - but completely lacking in knowledge and maturity, like most 10 year olds.

Then why did you directly quote and argue against my post?

 

 

 

Look, this isn't even an argument. All I'm saying is that on average a younger player is less mature and knowledgeable. Although there are a few exceptions, that's an indisputable fact.

Its one thing to miss a few damn letters on your keyboard by accident, or forget apostrophes (who uses these anyway?) but to spell like that person did? Thats the point of this thread. Not pointing out everyones mistakes because you want to be witty and increase your e-penor length. I did it once to make a point. Its not funny anymore, and its flaming. Keep it up and I'll report it.
