____ Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 But i don't think the way a person tipes is the most important thing. I belive that what that person has to say it's important. It helps when you can understand what they are trying to say though. Someone could write the most inteligent post ever, but if it's done in such a way that people have to spend time decooding their post - no one is going to read it.

deloriagod Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Learn to use correct grammar. Learn to contribute more to the conversation. You always seem to have one sentence posts.. Someone could write the most inteligent post ever, but if it's done in such a way that people have to spend time decooding their post - no one is going to read it. And that's why I need to make a decoder ring for all of us grammar Nazis : Native speakers should be able not to make TOO many mistakes, but cut us foreigners some slack! I'll cut foreigners some slack as long as I know their foreign. But dammit, the leet speak has to stop. Internet Marketing For Newbies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaquierming Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I like grammar nazi's, but not the crazy ones that will go on about like college english stuff that noone cares about.No apostrophe plox :twisted: Capitalize the E in English and separate "noone." The period comes after the quotations. :oops: I don't mind if people don't use correct grammar or not. As long as I can read it it's fine with me. :) Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.

You added an extra comma after "and English stuff" that shouldn't be there. Also, there probably shouldn't be a comma after "related things" because it is a list of only two things. "I like grammar Nazis, but not the crazy ones that will go on about college related things and English stuff that no one cares about." Do they not teach you all grammar in school?

Ex: Who was it who said: "The Bigger they are, the harder they fall?" the punctuation is inside the quatation because the subject is a question. Actually, according to both The Associated Press Stylebook and Elements of Style, commas always go inside quotation marks. The first step to moving on, is admitting your problem. There are few cases where it is appropriate to place a comma between a subject and verb, and this is not one of them. "In so far as I am Man I am the chief of creatures.
