I swear to god, all of you grammar loving people need to stop! If you can read it, shut up about it. Do you know how sick I am of people making posts simply to point out how many errors someone else made in there post? If you understood what they where saying, it dosen't matter! And for christ sake Grammar nazi? Really? Really? Think about what your calling your self. You have permission to go slam your head in the door for that one. It makes no sense while were on the matter. Nazis where taught that jews were bad, and they shoud kill them. They where kept uneducated by the government so they could be controlled better. So it makes no sense.
Back to what I was saying. I can tell, that at least one person will sit here, pick my rant apart, and find a page worth of grammar/spelling errors, then post them, and think there smart. But that will only further my point of how terrible of a thing it is. Your not adding anything to the conversation by doing so, and how many times has it helped someone understand the above post?
Person 1: "Yeah well i sorta dont want do anything right now even though im really bored."
Person 2: "GRAMMAR NAZI!!!! Yeah, well I sort of don't want to do anything right now, even though I'm bored."
person 3: "O, thanks man! I didn't know what he was saying untill you awesome grammar nazis came along!"
See? That never happens. Ever. Your not doing anything good for anyone, other then taking up space, and annoying the heck out of alot of people. This isn't english class ok? So kindly, unless you can't read whats being said, don't post for the soul sake of fixing it.
So what are your views on this? How often do you see unneeded comments by these "grammar nazis"? How often do you see "grammar nazis" Spell grammar with an e? Just say what you feel on the matter. I would aslo like to hear from a few "grammar nazis" And see what you think the point of doing it is?
The spelling errors is another point, but not a point that grammar nazis should even care about. Because spelling is not grammar.
I agree. Spelling is not part of grammar. Bad grammar is this, "Yo, <insert name here> ain't you the one who got no girlfriend. Man! That's sad." This is bad spelling, "Helo <insert name here>. Ar u de won with noo gurlfrind? Tht's saad."
I notice one of the arguments against people pointing out proper grammar was that it didn't contribute to the thread at large. How does what you said contribute to the thread, dacer? Also, when I point out grammatical errors, I also say something that contributes to the thread. The grammar fixing is just a side job.
I have seen many a post where it was the main job. I risk of killing a meme: Why so serious? Half the people can't get around the grammar anyway, and as long as it is more or less reasonable to read, it is fine. Yes, it does make you look slightly less intelligent, but so does correcting something unrelated to the thread, and possibly doing it wrong. This IS an international forum, even though half of the users are Americans, and not all are able to understand the twisted ways of the English grammar (at least the German makes sense). I still don't know when to put in a comma. I most likely will never lean, because as far as I can see, it's never.
I didn't say i was contributing to the thread did I? a majority of people on here never contibute to a thread properly.
Good job as setting an example for the many people.
That is what I contributed. I answered the topic of thread. The thread was about things you observed in the community. That's what I observed. I win.
You didn't add anything to the discussion. You only said that to pick apart his grammar. Yo ucould have alaborated a bit more, but instead you said a sentence which dosn't add anything to the conversation and pick his grammar apart.
A sentecne dosn't add anything to conversation. It just takes up space.

In other words, go in depth if you actually want to contribute anything to a topic.
I'm leaving this thread alone. It's getting too wild. One last note though, good grammar can give you merits? I didn't know that. I think I use good grammar. I don't try even. In games where you can chat I use horrible spelling and grammar just because it's faster to respond to the other person/people. Goodbye, leaving this thread alone.
I find that you people aren't willing to admit that what I said in that thread was a direct reply to the topic of the thread. Therefore, it automatically contributed. Stop being so self-righteous about it. In every aspect, that was a perfectly fine post that addressed the topic.

Well he kind of did. His observation was just on you. This is getting out of hand. It is annoying but you guys are starting to fight about it.
