Gyrnius ZionTCD Legacy Rising 65	Posted - 2012.07.09 21:41:00 - [1] - Quote "Your" is possessive. "I blew up your Sagaris with my prototype forge gun" "You're" is a contraction of "you are." "You're right - blew my butt right out of my tank!" Please, MAG players especially, learn the difference. You're making fools of yourselves and REALLY detracting from what could otherwise be well-constructed posts worthy of further discussion. The More You Know...

I'm a really objective-minded player though and my anti-vehicle skills are pretty hot. I love that all of the people insulting me so far have actually done so with proper grammar =)
Beta Phish Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 28	Posted - 2012.07.09 21:47:00 - [8] - Quote looks like EVE players are really this stupid after all

Gyrnius ZionTCD Legacy Rising 65	Posted - 2012.07.09 21:55:00 - [10] - Quote gangsta nachos wrote: And why does this bother you so much eh This is a very valid question. The truth is, I REALLY want to read players' insights into the game and how it could be improved. Terrible grammar, punctuation and spelling renders otherwise intelligent and thoughtful posts nearly unintelligible however. It makes it tough for me to take the posters of such drivel seriously. This undermines their credibility - if they can't take the basic effort of conveying themselves intelligibly why should I lend any braincells to their arguments? I figured a friendly PSA would, if nothing other than breeding a whole lot of hate against me, potentially help educate someone in such a way that their future posts are taken seriously. And those of you insulting me - thanks again for at least doing so intelligibly =)

Norian Andedare Algintal Core Gallente Federation 6	Posted - 2012.07.09 21:57:00 - [12] - Quote The grammar lesson is whatever but did you really have to throw the MAG dig in there, like they are the only ones who are the most egregious offenders. also who cares

The More You Know... first off before i post my statement isnt this thread against forum rules i see nothing about dust except the sentences u forced urself to write about tanks and guns u r following ur rules in writing in english though so bravo u can read Language is so we understand each other its for communication complaining about how people express thoughts is rude and takes away from people communicating an idea. How about i observe ur life and make adjustments how would u feel? as long as we understand each other......purposely being rude is not a trait i like to see in others and u as an intellectual should not be proud of doing it yourself

The More You Know... common' guy speak french, and after that we'll speak about grammar / spelling.... if someone make mistake, it's maybe not cuz he's dumb, but just because it's not he's language ^^ (but for learn, hope people will say to me if i do some mistake )

For what its worth, the worst offenders are native speakers. In fact, its most likely their ONLY language. You can tell because their phrasing is very colloquial - not likely to be available to non-native speakers. Still, the point about language being about communication that evolves over time is very true - who knows, maybe 50 years from now l33t speak will be in the Oxford Dictionary? In the mean time, I'll continue to provide the occasional PSA to help ensure the Dust populace can at least appear to be more than the average fps players =) wow I got 10 more likes between yesterday and today? Thanks folks, love you too!
Beta Phish Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 28	Posted - 2012.07.16 22:24:00 - [27] - Quote Please, stop insulting Kittens the actually animal. come up something original to call someone a puzsy. oh how about the word "puzsy" that already exists.
Lewis Shinypants 9	Posted - 2012.07.16 22:33:00 - [28] - Quote I don't see the need for the MAG player dig. We just understand that we really don't require good grammar on the internet. Since most of our time spent on the forums is spent being spitting mad at someone else.
Iron Wolf Saber BetaMax. 2867	Posted - 2012.07.16 22:34:00 - [29] - Quote I cannot stop laughing at the grammer kitten it so funny.
Wakko03 Better Hide R Die 134	Posted - 2012.07.16 23:22:00 - [30] - Quote Oh, I can tell you are silly. At times I was known on the MAG forums for having the longest wall of text that was not useless chest thumping, it was a skill tree and set-up guide for the move and the sharpshooter. Let me break this down for you, it is a BETA Forum; chances are that a few days before release this will all be locked and a new area created with sub-sections for clan or corp support - just like what happens with every other beta I have ever been a part of. Or moved over to the psn forums as a form of advertising the game to people who don't know about it, if it has a lot of traffic and stays on the front page, but since those forums underwent a return to Lithium it has been a mess. The only people that actual care about the use of proper grammar are those still in school (be it student or teacher). This is not for posterity, there won't be a History Channel Show about letters from the front lines of the Dust Beta. (queue up the south park thanksgiving aliens episode) I type close to 140 wpm, so there is not always time to concern oneself with the proper use of words that are commonly misused as long as the statement is not altered to the point of being confusing. Can you find the run on sentence, how about that dangling participle, this is not a game of mad libs......instead of proof reading the internet shouldn't you be organizing the sock draw by type, name, color and use?
