[QUOTE="demoman314"]
ok now that my anger is out and i can talk to you, it's not aversion at all...it's just that i type wuickly what i have to get out there cause i care bout the topic but i honestly dont care what anybody else thinks of me by the way im typing...i mean i speak properly, when i write on a job app., i also write properly and im the best in my english class at essays. but ya know this is just the computer and a forum on the computer...a gaming forum at that...im sure most of the people on here are smart, but frankly none of us,except for a select few, give a damn how are grammer looks on a forum. But ya know its cool and fine that you speak and type correctly and even txt...but its the critiquing and critizing ok? people get defensive and its just not appreciated...so lets keep this a happy place says i (the one who had the meanest post on this topic) and avoid critizing other people even on their english. So to the TC, yes i also believe that Gamespot is biased buts its only cause xbox360 is more popular in america...in japan its completely opposite.
So.... Peace

my point is that when I see a block of text like what you wrote there, I tend to skip over it because its unpleasant to read something that is laden with spelling errors and isn't using grammatical structure. it seems to me that if you want what you wrote to be read at all, you should put some effort into it, but thats just my view of it.
you used the wrong "its". "its" is a possessive therefore it would be "it's" which would be a contraction for "it is."

contractions, or anything with an apostraphe, is not my strong suit. I'm not correct 100% of the time, but at least I'm trying.
@ somesthetic
I don't understand what your problem is. For someone who seems to be so well educated (key word being "seems"), and who clearly has an interest in english literature, it boggles my mind to see you have well over 2000 posts on1 video game forum.Why dont you become a real writer and graduate from the ignorant forum whore who just loves to go around pointing out people's mistakes. That, or become a teacher...either way stop being an a**

its my interest in english that has led me towards the desire to be a writer, which is why I'm an english major in college right now, but that doesn't stop me from having other interests, such as videogames. my thousands of posts are from years of discussing videogames on these forums, and spread out, its really not that much.
I was not pointing out the error to be degrading, but rather to be helpful, which is why I'm so baffled by the response to it.
Point being, don't correct others when you're not far yourself. He's not "TyPeInG lIkE tHiS" or "typng lik dis". Since it's "highest priority for displaying intelligence", does this make me smarter than you? Typing properly and all.

let me explain something, capitalization does nothing to improve the clarity of the message; using a word correctly can do a whole lot. I'm not trying to enforce arbitrary rules here, I'm trying to help with peoples communication skills. that's what's important.
It's a lost cause though. If that were the case, you'd be on here typing till you're blue in the face. I myself, do it properly for the most part. That's all that matters to me. Sometimes I'd correct a simple word or two the odd time. But it's pretty much like "you against a thousand". You'll get bored quickly and just say "f' it! I don't care anymore" lol
