"Respec" is a skill re-specialization.
"Respect" means esteem, regard.

"Locus" is the name for our fragmentation grenades and it comes from Latin (loc-us,i)
"Locust" is a bug, an orthopterous, specifically.

Are you complaining that he's helping you with English by pointing out the distinction?
If you make thee sorts of mistakes because English isn't your first language, that's fine, but why would you have a problem with someone informing you of how to use these words correctly?

If i wan't to use them correctly on a "forum" i would have taken a course, seeing i have not done so already means, i care very little about someone who cannot get past the then/than issue on a forum with people from all across the world.

No one said you have to spell correctly, or that you have even care about it, he's just throwing the information out there. You don't need to react like your right to spell incorrectly is being threatened. Relax.
Just because you don't want to doesn't mean the information won't be useful to someone else.
Nothing about wanting to educate people implies he has a disorder. Nothing about getting slightly bugged by people being incorrect about something implies he has a disorder either, that's normal. You don't need to get hostile or start insulting, you're still free to be incorrect or ignorant.

Not bugged about it in the slightest, its just so he knows how i feel about it, like he wants to let us know how he feels about it on a forum.
So now he knows, case closed.

You know what slightly bugs me the fact that you think anybody really cares what you say. Who are you again? Ill learn how to use correct words on a stupid forum when you learn how to be good in game. Which means its never gonna happen.

The use of the words "then" and "than" are not "how he feels about it", its the actual use and definition of those words in the English language. Its just a fact.
Case closed.

I would just like to point out the fact that auto-correct exists, and can change "Respec" and "Locus" into "Respect" and "Locust," respectively.

Nowhere did he say that you or anyone cared, or had to care. He's just throwing the information out there, if you don't want to use that knowledge, then don't. No need to be rude jerk about it.
It is completely irrelevant how good he is or isn't at a video game.

Also:
They're - contracted form of 'they are', "they're kicking butt"
There - denotes a place or location "Alpha is over there, by the CRU"
Their - denotes possesion, "That's their dropship"
You're - contracted form of 'you are', "you're dead!"
Your - denotes possesion, "it's your LAV"
Also, it's "I COULDN'T care less". The saying is supposed to imply that you give 0% of a damn, hence, you couldn't care less. If you could care less, then you care at least a little about the subject because you're stating that your degree of concern could be smaller which defeats the intended purpose of the saying which is that you absolutely do not care at all about whatever.

There are some people on these forums with English as a first language that wouldn't be able to differentiate between then and than.

Getting annoyed at grammar will slowly wear you down and frustrate you. Bad grammar is everywhere. I reckon the English language is in the process of change. It won't be long till uppercase letters are a thing of the past and words will get shorter with no vowels. English is a living language and the rules change over time it's just annoying when the change happens in your lifetime.
Unless you let it go slightly bugs me will eventually become it f*cks me off so much. Try and see bad grammar as proof that you a speaking a living adaptable language. Grammar is slowly being killed off with spell check and txt speak. People get annoyed when you point out bad grammar to them and it's possible to understand what they meant even if their grammar is wrong.
That said however I would like someone to explain to me the proper use of commas because I think their correct use is important when reading messages and as my grammar is pretty poor I'm not fully sure when to use them instead of full stops. |

You know, sometimes I give people a break because English may not be their first language. But most of the time you can tell given the grammar structure, word choice, etc...
So that leaves:
-People that are too lazy to give a damn about what words mean, or too lazy to spell them correctly and use them properly
-People that use phones that auto-correct and are too lazy to manually fix things
-People that are just dumb motherfuckers
The only people I end up respecting are the people who I think may be foreign.
It doesn't annoy me or bother me much, nor do I have an overwhelming need to correct it.... I just think "here's another dumbass lazy slob...." |

Thanks, always wondered which to use in what situation. Grammar is one of those things at the bottom of the list for me though. Just so long as my point gets across!!
