I just can’t. It’s your fault, but I don’t blame you for it. You’re probably not that stupid, you might even be intelligent. But when you type without punctuation, and randomly hit the enter key to skip to the next line, you seem like a moron.
It probably doesn’t help that you refuse to even attempt proper punctuation, and your grammar is poorer than my six year old cousins. Yeah, English might be your second language, and I’m willing to make some concessions on proper spelling, grammar and punctuation, but to not attempt it, while trying to be clever or witty, makes you look like a moron.
Really, I promise, it’s not me, it’s you. And you know who you are. I feel no urge to “name names,” because I don’t want to make you feel bad, but c’mon… You really can’t tell that everyone else on a forum is typing in a certain way, and you’re typing like a jackass?
ETA: Not aimed at anyone specific, but in general. There are a few.
There is also no need to use 10 separate ellipses in one paragraph (something I’ve seen in another thread), it makes what you are saying sound weak and halting.
I make fun of them to their face all of the time, why wouldn’t I make fun of them online?
It’s a conversational sentence. It’s not proper English, but it’s conversational English which is acceptable in pretty much any scenario that isn’t formal – namely, a forum.
It’s also an attempt at decent English, even if it’s not perfect. Which is all that I ask for in the OP. Not perfection, but the attempt at semi-legible non-garbage.
A few of them are real life friends, family or (former) coworkers, a few from other forums, and one or two from this forum that I typically skip over when they post because I don’t feel like deciphering their shit.
