"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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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...." |

Well, that sir, may be a little complicated for this medium of comunication. Let me demonstrate my meaning:
"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."
That^^^ is a very long sentence; but, after you put all the proper punctuation in, it is actually a proper sentence; however, in reality, it is three sentences strung together, like this one.
Your sentence structure is actually very good, though, I hope that you can understand why I am a little reluctant to attempt to explain the above to you. Your best bet would be to take a simple English 101 class at a local community college. Or, you could always just attempt to analyze the writting from sources you know should be correct, Such as, magazines and newspapers.
The most detail I am willing to go into is: you put commas where your brain naturally desires to take a pause. English grammar has simply identified all these instances and catolauged them.
Hope that that helped you out some.

Best thread in weeks. Too bad it sailed over the heads of the CoDpieces.
This is why my kids will never go to public schools.

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. This one is easy to remember, but being from the South, it kind of became a habit. I KNOW it's grammatically incorrect, but my muscles don't and just put it in. *Shrug* Just a habit, one that really don't care to correct, seeing as most people understand what I MEANT and not take the sentence literally.

My spell check confirms this.
Turrent is an Onomatopoeia - the sound a tankers pants make when he finds those four militia with swarms doing squats aren't actually AFK. |
