Why? You're sixteen, you should know how to write English by now. I know fourteen-year-olds who write better than you do.
Spend a half second and think about sentences after you write them. Look for punctuation. Look for spelling. Get a browser that has spell check built in or see if there is an IE plug-in that does that.

no offence but iv hurd all that before.

You just typed the word "hurd".
No, you are not trying. Try harder.

Hmm... I realize that with the inclusion of built-in spellcheck feature on most internet browsers, there's really now "true" excuse for poor grammar. Still, what if some people were dyslexic?

... That should be even more reason to get a browser with SC, but still... I'm not too sure what to think on that.

The dyslexic can learn.

Mmm... True...
It still seems pretty crappy if someone gets banned for having a learning disorder, but I also suppose that no one should be exempt from this rule. As much as grossly poor grammar irks me, I've still got mixed feelings 'bout the possibility of this as a situation.

I'm not debating or challenging the rule or anything, so don't get me wrong...
I'm just... thinking is all...

Good to see we might finally get a boot shoved up our asses! yay!
But there is one thing I think that should be modified slightly.

On the case of bad grammar or spelling. I believe that rule should be wavered in the random room board.

Hmm, true, true Kaige, but i don't think Stryker is dyslexic. It just sounds like he's been on MSN too much.

If he WAS dyslexic, then we should give the guy some slack.

Err, I never suggested that Stryker himself was dyslexic... I doubt he is also, but the thought of someone who very well could be dyslexic and might join the forum had crossed my mind.

But then there's the whole point that even if someone wasn't dyslexic and said they were, then they'd be abusing any slack that people may choose give them. This is the internet after all, and I doubt that anyone would post a doctor's diagnosis as proof of their claim, or anything...

Either way, either we allow ourselves the opportunity to get screwed and have to deal with horrid grammar, or we end up screwing the people who may join this forum and happen to be dyslexic, to which they should still have access to an internet browser capable of spell check, not to mention that they'd probably be trying to overcome the difficulties they're presented with, in which this rule would prove to be (in a way) to their benefit as well as ours.

Holy crap... I think I've just come to my final thought/conclusion on this matter... Been buggin' me for a while...
Yay. Go me.

Ah, anyways... I think that it should be stated that the enforcement of this rule is far from any sort of personal attack - that having difficulty with writing or even spelling would merit anyone with any sense of animosity. Sure, it's a tad annoying in bulk, but it's livable in small, sparse doses.
My key point being: No harm or ill will is meant or felt through the enforcement of these rules. At least, I hope it doesn't escalate to that point...

I don't plan on moderating the Random Forum much, don't worry.

by **Commissar Jake** » Tue Dec 22, 2009 9:39 am

Okay, thanks for saying. *takes an imaginary load of his shoulders*

Wait, also maybe a thread for showing examples of grammar, punctuation an the like should go up. Or is there already one?

by **Immelmann** » Tue Dec 22, 2009 10:46 am

Stryker Blood has given us plenty of examples of how not to post.

It doesn't render web pages as well as other browsers and it's more vulnerable to viruses.
And it doesn't have built in spell check!

I love IE!

It's the only reason java doesn't slow down!

Google Chrome handles Java much faster.
