Okay, I got this idea Darkroot, it's another club! That's right, another club so the mods can look it over for a purpose. Well, this club has a purpose, and that's to improve grammar throughout the site by our local, non-mod Grammar Nazis!
The leaders will be TSL3_needed (Me), Thisisnotanalt, Darkrooot, and Flipin3500.
It's not so much a club as just something to help people improve their grammar on the forums, games, and profiles. Membership is sort of unlimited and anyone can join, just as long as you pledge to improve your grammar and help others improve theirs.
The official guide for the club is here. Everyone, I hope you enjoy improving your grammar!
You didn't quote any part of my post, so that was kinda hit and miss. Sorry.
Every language has grammatical rules. If a sentence does not follow those rules, it is not correctly made.
So when you say
The only reason you see it as incorrect is because you don't speak that way
you're basically wrong. It would be incorrect because it does not follow the grammatical rules of the language, not because some other random person says "that's not how I do it, your grammar is wrong" or something like that.
There are variations to a lot of grammatical rules, though.
Which would you prefer people use, ain't or am not, aren't? Does it make you sound illiterate? Do you use it? Do you mind if people use it as a word, or does it bug you?
There's supposed to be an apostrophe in ain't? Never knew that before. I don't mind people using it, if they're typing like they're talking (in conversations, typically); but if they were writing a book and wrote it there (not counting in direct speech where dialect may be written with as many spelling twists as the author wants) I'd be annoyed.
And "I are" is just a really odd grammar error.
...please ignore my spelling fail. I have never spelt "grammar" as "grammer" before...and with any luck it won't happen again >_>
*snicker* I didn't even notice that before you pointed it out. Similarly shaped letter is similarly shaped.
I can't remember something, is it right saying: I don't like neither that nor the other?
As far as I know, yes.
The pairings are either/or and neither/nor... Don't get 'em mixed up.
I really hope it doesn't catch on from Justin Timberlake's The Way I R...because that song was apparently catchy..."I ain't got no money! I ain't got no A-me-ri-can Ex-press!"
I'm surprised that in one day I've got over 100 posts. Wow. . . .
You, my dear user, needs a life. :P Nah, jk~ 100 posts is perfectly doable if you're hyperactive.
