I pit WiredBadger's use of grammar nazis

I think I’ll just call you a whiny pussy.

It’s kind of hard to have a conversation with someone who insists on mumbling.

If you’re going to post here regularly:
[ul]
[li]Use capital letters.[/li][li]Write in complete sentences.[/li][li]Put breaks between your paragraphs.[/li][/ul]
If you don’t care enough about your ideas to make your posts readable, why should anyone else care enough to decipher them?

:rolleyes:

I will henceforth refer to myself as a Grammar Centurion.

When you are having a conversation in real life with someone, you use pauses, inflection and body language to emphasize your point.

When you are having a written conversation (such as when posting on a message board), you do not have those tools. So, we use proper grammar and punctuation (not to mention white space) to get our point across.

I actually went into that thread quite interested (since studies can be interpreted differently so science CAN be opinion) and had to leave because I couldn’t easily understand your posts and the thread didn’t make much sense if I skipped them.

You are new here. The prevailing culture on this board would appreciate that you speak to us intelligibly. If you don’t want to to that, you will find an uphill battle.

How do you feel about being called a “stickler”?

I think it was more than grammar. I think his thoughts are confusing. It appears that he thinks he knows more than he actually does.

I got your “stickler” right here, pal.

whut?

No grammar for you!

Isn’t grammar grammper’s wife?

You know, maybe it is a silly expression. I mean, the Nazis didn’t go around correcting Jews and gypsies. A grammar Nazi puts you in a camp. A conversation camp, perhaps.

Did you say conversation camp? didn’t you mean “happy camp”?

Argue as you wish. Our language enables us to express ourselves in paper-thin degrees of nuance; accompanied with proper punctuation one can post succinct and meaningful messages. Proper use of our language can display a high degree of intelligence and wit; sloppy writings suggest the opposite. Your choice.

I can nazi why this is such a big deal. :confused:

:cool:

Nazi nazi nazi mushroom.

That’s cuz you can haz intertubez.

An Intercourse Camp? :dubious:

Yes please.

Eludidator Camp you mean.

We have our very own after all.
