Do you intentionally try to write formally on GameSpot?

i.e. the title of this thread... Capital letter at the beginning of the sentence, Capital letters on a name/title... "I" instead of "i," "that's" instead of "thats"... Do you intentionally make the effort to push on that shift button, or is it second nature to you? i originally wrote like this on gamespot because... im not being graded or anything, it doesnt really matter on a forum... but ive noticed that people on gamespot write formally so I've decided to do the same. :P

It would induce in me what I believe to be the very opposite of great felicity if I attempted to write it any other way, you see?

People will make fun of you if you don't. And they'll watch you....

...WITH THIER EYES!!!

All the time. If I can't be smart, I can at least fake it.Genetic_Code

You think that's formal?

I was expecting something more than that. :P

I consider my writing style as an extension of myself. I wish for people to take my posts seriously (unless other wise marked) and thus so make my posts as neat, and tidy as possible.

Not really.

No, I never try to write formally on Gamespot I just write that way no matter what.

Sometimes I do.

Do I try to use proper grammar and spelling when I type? Yes, of course. :P I like to think people understand what I'm trying to say through proper English. Not just on Gamespot either.

Perhaps... Often I strive to correct my mistakes before I submit it to the internet, othertimes I find myself subconciously editing.

OThEr Times i've writen in Rush so m ypost cn Be a lttl emessed up, right???

not really I just use punctuation and capitalization because this just annoys the **** out of me

I wouldn't say that I really write formally, but I do tend to write using caps, commas etc when neccesary. As an aspiring journalist it bugs me when things are not as they should be, although I'll admit sometimes my comma use is a bit poorer than it probably should be.

Eh, not really.

If I did it would be on accident.My grammer skills are crap.

It's kind of natural, considering it's how we were taught to write/type.

You know, correctly.

I don't try to do anything, I just type... Everything I write here comes natural.

I don't think about it, I just do it. I figure if others are reading it, it might as well be grammatically correct and look like a cohesive sentence from the English language.

Sometimes the call of a great internet meme or joke causes me to sacrifice this habit, however.

I've tried to write formally on GameSpot and other forums but I usually fail.

However, I'm still very ignorant in some areas of grammar (damn you, semi-colon :x), so I do end up making mistakes. LZ71

I DUnnO hoW i WrIte. I WritE how i feel likE

It seems as thoug the topic creator has picked up on my behaviours. Very good, very good. However to answer your question with proper technique: It seems as though I do types using formaility to the best of my abilities.Doct0rBiohazard

This is the interwebz, i don't try nearly at all. There is a time and place and gamespot isn't the place

Not really, It's Gamespot we shouldn't be graded on grammar. As long as its legible and easy enough to understand then I'm cool 8)
