Grammar - 10-09-2009, 01:37 AM

We should seriously have a rule for (semi) correct grammar. Of course we have people from other countries that are speaking English as a second, third, or maybe even fourth language, so grammar can't be perfect (probably further from perfect from native speakers xP) but, I mean...people can at least spell the whole word out right? I'm tired of seeing text language on these forums.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, every forum that I've been a part of has rules on their grammar....

Honestly, some people are just too dumb to use proper grammar, get real Thomas.

I actually agree somewhat to his request. I know that there are people who don't know the correct wording and grammar because english isn't their native language, but overlooking it isn't helping them learn.

I think that there should be a rule, or at least an official suggestion in the rules section, that everybody please try to spell correctly and use correct grammar to the best of their abilities. If they are, and still mess up, I think it should be politely pointed out so that they don't make the same mistake again. It gets hard to read if the spelling/grammar is wrong.

Besides, these people are doing their best to learn english! I think we should try our best to help them out!


Just my opinion. Maybe it's just me inner Grammar Nazi. :/
