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!

Same here. But I guess sibling could also be worse than being bored sometimes.


I get that a lot. Believe me, someone there to push around or be pushed around by is always a good means of keeping sane. TV is the same, nothing interesting in the news, inactivity around here, and my Xbox won't play my games. More like solitary confinement plus internet.

I believe social networking to be the work of some evil entity. AKA I think it's evil. And so is Twitter, Facebook, etc.

well not really... IF you were in college sometimes you will rarely see some people, and therefore you need a social networking site/forum to be able to keep in touch with them if you so chose to do so.

It's funny how you can't completely delete something on Facebook.

I don't really like Social Networking sites for various reasons.

FaceBook scares me. :<

Generally I refuse to use those sites, but I have a FaceBook page because someone made a drawning applet and I wanted to try it...

I dislike social networking sites, but I like forums. Though I'm hardly ever anywhere other than AG.
Art sites can be good too.

I dislike social networking sites, but I like forums.

They aren't bad, but for some people are their life. Also there is many crazy guys, who just wonder from a page to an other insulting and posting not nice comments on photos.

FaceBook scares me. :<


It scared me when mainly becasue I never realsied quite how many pictures of me my friends had and not seen.

I make mistakes all the time and sometimes I just can't be bothered to put all the right apostrophes in etc. but I think it is important to at least try since it helps you to be understood. However pushing it to the point of Grammar Nazism is too far especially here were many don't use English as a first language. so beaing told off for missing a comma is harsh.

Well, we don't (or shouldn't) attack people who miss something here and there. Just tlaking liek i just cmae from mars and then ran around and then and then and then. . . . That's really annoying and quite common.

No it isn't. It's not common at all on this website to type like a retard.

More common than you think. Especially with newbies and then there are some people who outright refuse to use decent grammar. I've seen some posts and comments that look like they do an epic head desk and actually made a word out of it.

Grammar........

Hi, I'm an Indonesian. I start to read Advanced Learner's Grammar by Mark Foley and Diane Hall. Is it a good book for learning Grammar? Any recommendation?

Btw, do you know some best universities to get M.M Master degree? I will take TOEFL next year.

Thx

Are you blind? Can't you see the poor handwriting and spelling mistakes everywhere in my last post? You got to be kidding me.
