WAAAGH. RAGEE.

[Haven Celestii 9,385]

I hate it when someone cant spell for their life. I also hate grammar issues, but I can't complain since I suck at is as well.

Im pretty sure I will make quite a couple mistakes in this post alone.

That or I am too paranoid.

[Literally Snails 2,307]

I know, I have a list of people who I avoid in RPs for this reason.

 

HAIL FEUR FLAWLESS ENGLISH!

I try to avoid people who type horribly in role-plays, but, I don't like being mean, so I don't kick people out of my role-plays if they can't write well..

I'm too nice..

I have a few.

 

"The Academy." - about a psychic school

 

"The Lovely Ones." - About cliques in school

 

"The Deepest Ocean." -About a mentally disturbed girl

 

"When The Sunset Ends." - A viking roleplay

 

They aren't exciting, haha...

But those are the ones I have that I'm currently active in.

they're all human.

 

If you'd like to make a new one together, we could do that. ^^

The last time I started an RP it didn't work out, but that was a while ago. I would have to think a little more about it. I have some ideas, but I think better when I'm wet.

Well, just let me know.

I prefer human RPs to ponies, but I'll do either.

[Victoria and Co. 782]

Don't forget to explain when to use good and when to use well.

It annoys me when people make loads of grammatical errors if they have been brought up speaking English, if they are foreign then I can understand. It isn't that bad if they only make a couple of errors though.

[GrooveBroove 680]

Not gonna lie, I know my grammar is crap.

I try though so there's at least that.

 

You'll never see me type badly on purpose unless it's for a joke or something.

[dar tunsh 446]

SO MANY RESPONSES! (TL;DR)

 

Yeah, I feel generally the same way most of the members who posted here feel. I wouldn't classify myself as a "Grammar Nazi," but I find myself double-spacing after sentences and making sure I have correct grammar and punctuation, especially in RPs.

 

In fact, if I use a complicated word that I don't normally use, I'll Google the definition just to make sure I have the correct spelling, and that it means what I think it means XD . (<-- Also, if I use a smiley at the end of a sentence, I'll separate the period from the smiley so that it isn't confused as part of the smiley.)

wat u meen bad grammer i speek inglesh gud

 

On a forum roleplay, poor use of grammar will bother me somewhat. On a chat, not as much because hey whatever. The only point it annoys me a lot is when I can't even read what a person is trying to say, and then that person defends their poor use of the English language by saying "haha proper grammer is stooped n overated n i liek typping how i do"

 

Of course, if it's just the occasional slip-up in grammar I don't mind it all that much.

0kay.

I RP a lot here on the forums, and it really bugs me when people don't spell correctly, or use grammar/punctuation correctly.

So.

This is mostly just a rage post, but feel free to comment and add your rage problems as well.

Some of the most common misspellings are:

You're & Your.

You're- You are, as in 'you're beautiful.'

Your- shows possession, as in 'is that your bike?'

<It's really easy to remember, folks!>

There, their & they're.

There- referring to a place, as in 'are you here or there?'

Their- showing possession, as in 'It's their bike, not mine.'

They're- They are, as in 'They're so annoying!'

<A bit harder, but still pretty easy..>

Here, and hear.

Here- referring to a place, as in 'I'm here.'

Hear- the sense, as in 'I can't hear you.'

Breathe & breath.

Breathe- what you do to live, as in 'I cannot breathe.'

Breath- 'Your breath stinks!'

To, two & too.

To- 'Send this to her.'

Two- counting. 'one, two, three...'

Too- 'can I come too?'

Where & wear.

Where- 'Where are you?'

Wear- 'I don't want to wear those jeans.'

Stare & stair.

Stare- 'Don't stare, it's rude.'

Stair- 'I landed on the last stair.-

Are & our.

Are- 'Are you coming with me?'

Our- 'It's our house.'

It's really not that hard to spell correctly.

And about punctuation.

When someone is speaking, you use "...."

Or, when you're quoting something.

And the little dots? These things- ........

They're called periods.

They're used to end a sentence, and if you don't use them, it looks as if your post is way longer than it should be- which makes it seem like you're rambling.

Also, these ,,,,,,

are called commas.

They're used to put a small pause in a sentence, if you need it.

So instead of saying "I really like that dress and I want to buy it and I love it so much and--"

You would use a comma, like so;

"I really like that dress, and I want to buy it, I love it so much."

It can still be considered rambling, but it looks so much better.

And personally, if I have someone thinking something in a role-play, I use italics.

It helps distinguish where the talking/action ends and the thoughts begin.

And if you start in third person, don't go from 'Emily went to the store. And I bought a candy bar. Then Emily went home. And I slept."

And capitalization,

" I " is always capitalized.

As are names, and places.

For example.

"Emily went to the Smith Library."

You do not need to use capitalization if you say something such as

"Emily went to the store."

And back to spelling real quick-

Most internet browsers provide a spell check, if you spell something wrong, it's usually underlined in red. You don't even have to respell it. Just right click and click on the correct spelling! It's not that hard!

I know I probably sound like a mean person, or sound like I'm rambling.

But this is something that really aggravates me.

I am a certified grammar nazi, however flaming is not my preference. The best method I think is reductio ad hitlerum.

[Croaks 251]

Oh, thanks~; I did not~ know that already.

 

*sarcasm*

 

But however, I understand your frustration.
