Staredit Network

How do you feel about people who use terrible grammar and spelling on the 'net. Most people I see on B.net use things like u, ur, etc. I find it pretty annoying and I see it as fodder for being annoying to others. If people need to type faster they can just learn to type faster, making yourself look like an idiot is too high a price for me to pay to type a little bit faster with terrible grammar.
End of sentence punctuation and capital letters at the beginnings of sentences are usually fine by me, though. People screwing around and intentionally doing it are less annoying than people doing it on purpose, but not to screw around.

who cares about it, its not like were in school, were not going to be getting graded on how we speak, and most ppl kno how to use grammar, but most ppl on the internet are too lazy, and it doesnt really matter....

Spelling and grammar is a personal preference when it is in a casual forum such as this

Same thing goes for making sense.

im not even sure wut that means

I love grammar, I would be the grammar nazi if I had the chance. I can't understand what most people say when they go "lolz k gt out n start shoot those peopels over der" Also, that usually leaves the opening for people to own them flat out.

ha eye luv gramr i dunt no wut ur tlkn bout caz i tipe out purfcly, soh stuf nub gd dam.[/Urgh]




I like grammar. I really hate people that spell what as "wot,wut" But damn, I don't mind starcraft that much, but if you're on the forums:

TAKE SOME DAMN TIME TO TYPE.

You lose so much respect from about all the mods, and most users [That use good grammar]

I can understand the use of "u" instead of "you" when you're doing something and need to type quick (gaming).

But I don't understand why you have to do it in a forum. It's really pathetic.

I dont really care about the spelling and grammar is, as long as u can understand it

'U' and 'you' take the same amount of time for me, and same number of hands. I can understand not having a period at the end of a line in a chat, but when you have more than one sentence, please use punctuation and capitalization.

Woot for grammar natzis!

Ever notice that people use the 'z' rather than 's' or typing out the whole word? 'Z' is an awful outlandish letter to use in shorthand, don't understand why people use it as a substitute.

omg wuz up - Hey!
like lolz - Heh.
wazzup - What's up?

Shorter and easier words to type in replacement xD

ya wu neds 2 unstand wut i say if say fast is 10 sec uf my lif mor u r idits 4 wast tym on rite spel!!

Personally, I use proper grammar etc. in game, for the most part, though I do use a few things, such as "stfu". If you type slow enough that typing a simple sentence takes too long, then learn to type faster.

[center]Yeah... People are EXTREAMLY lazy. They have to save the .000062 seconds it takes to add periods and such. In the end is it really saving you that much time? Do you really need to sacrafice respect for .000062 seconds?[/center]

Sometimes, in battle.net public games, when none of my friends are in it, I could care crap about my grammar. I say "u" instead of "you" and "ur" instead of you're/your maybe like once in... 30 games..

u know i cant say i realy care bout what peepz say, jus as long as u can understan u be fine man not a big deal realy.

One word (and a picture):



See, sometimes poor use of English on the Internet is amusing.

(I know that was more than one word.)

Bnet = typ w/e t3h h3ll u wan lawlz

Forum = Type like this. Use proper grammar and spelling, if you don't you should be warned -> suspended -> banned.

Heh.

Grammar = my hero

These forums have rubbed off on me, I now use proper spelling, grammer, and capitalization even on battle.net. (Although occasionally I slip on punctuation while on battle.net.)

Devilesk.. your grammar is so gay on B.net..
"Devilesk has joined the channel"
"devilesk: LOL OMFG LAWLZ SEN NUBS HAHAH"
"devilesk: STUPD SEN NUBS SUX SO BAD"
"devilesk has been kicked out of the channel by SeN."

Did I ever say it wasn't?

maybe, you know mrll can always see you right?

After all, Mrrll is just like santa.
Heee seees you when you're sleeping!
He knows when you're awake!

That's exactley what i was getting at

I think all the bad grammar is hilarious. I got perfect scores in my english classes, but sometimes I just gotta be immature and say:

"OMFG U g0 7 Pwn3D U 0083|2 n00b0r!!1!1!!!1!"

I used to be like "LIK OMG UR AN IDIOT!!!1" back in the day, but now I realize it's really stupid...

Anyway, I like people who spell bad and talk in caps and so on, for a good laugh...
