why do people on forums need to act like they've majored english?

most people on forums I see need to use high tech words and expect maximum punctuation from other people, but why, why have they done this, its only a video game forum, i dont think ur cooler than the other guy that types lik thiz

EXAMPLE:

It must be nice to be so concerned about something so minuscule.

Oh...and next time: mention that you're actually going to be in the WCG in your first post. Then again, you're the only one that cares.

why does this jackwipe need to use the word minuscule, jughead, just TALK IN ENGLISH

Could you give some examples?

Well yeah, but it's generally not worth the time and energy to read it. Actually, that kind of typing is kind of handy. It's like a giant "Don't Read Me" sign, to help you avoid accidentally reading something really stupid.

Because I absolutely hate reading that broken internet crap slang. Oh, and if the word "miniscule" is seriously that big of a deal to you, you may need to go back to the 4th grade.

It doesn't take any extra effort to read that.

Nor does it take much extra effort to capitalize the beginnings of your sentences and use punctuation.

Let me get this straight, you're complaining that people are following the rules of the English language?blackngold29

I never said it did. I simply said that the act of reading that, in itself, is probably not worth the energy. Which is quite remarkable considering the relatively small amount of energy it takes to read a sentence, mirite?

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"][QUOTE="Bloodbath_87"] It doesn't take much effort at all. But really, do capital letters help you understand something better? Is it that big of a deal if someone decides that they don't want to use capital letters?Bloodbath_87

There is no point in leaving out caps...but really, there is no point in using them on a site like this.Bloodbath_87

Reading so many errors in text, is like playing basketball and some guy thinks he can sprint carrying the ball to the hoop. Its just annoying. Not to mention that if I make a mistake I would like to know about it to prevent it happening again.

1) You misspelled "miniscule".

2) "Miniscule" is a common word. If you don't know what it means, that's your fault.

3) It's hard to tell without more context, but I suspect that "insignificant" is probably the more appropriate word. After all, HIV and smallpox are both "miniscule" viruses, but I guarantee that you will be pretty concerned if you are ever infected by them.

[QUOTE="Bloodbath_87"][QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"] Except for the points I just mentioned.Cherokee_Jack

You really don't like it when people use big words, do you?

[QUOTE="Bloodbath_87"][QUOTE="xaos"] Nope; however, I assume if someone is wanting to express something that they want me to bother to read, they will at least bother to try to express it clearly and correctly. Is it that big a deal if I decide that people who chronically express themselves poorly have nothing to say worth hearing? :)xaos

Any moron can use caps, it doesn't mean that their post is more worthwhile than someone who doesn't.Bloodbath_87

English mistakes are like the acne of writing: they're only skin-deep, and they don't really change anything meaningful, but they're ugly and are an immediate turn-off all the same.

Really, it's understandable why someone would abbreviate something in a chat room setting, because of how fast things move. But when you have all the time in the world on a message board setting, there's just no excuse whatsoever not to take like two extra seconds and make your post presentable.

You really don't like it when people use big words, do you?

why would you speak bad english when you can speak good?
