If I see one more person bitching about a post with one or two errors I swear I will flip out on the fucker.

You also need to understand most people could care less about grammar, spelling, punctuation. It's about NERF, and aslong as the idea gets accross, who gives a damn?

i was bitching about the misspelling of the word "grammar". not the grammar itself.

No offence, but your philosophy sort of clashes with common sense.

Well NH hates you. It's not personal, it's a philosophical issue.it isn't laziness, it's a philosophical issue. i hate capital letters.
Please, save your rebellion for something that matters.

spectre: learn another language. any one. then talk about all the "common sense" involved in english. it's so wrong it's amazing anglophones aren't laughed at avery time we open our mouths.
as for common sense, that has nothing to do with this. the established rules of writing aren't common sense, or innate knowledge, they are entirely arbitrary. you only recognize good and bad orthography by feel because you were taught it by rote.

The reason why we're aiming toward better English on this forum is so that we're more respectable and presentable, compared to other forums. This isn't EnglishForum though, so seriously, settle down.

Fight poverty, eliminate world hunger, don't ever ride in anything powered by an internal combustion engine. Seriously, this is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard. It's also far more egotistical than any capital letter.what, precisely would be a good use of my "rebellion"?
before you jump down my throat, i'm a fontographer, i know what i'm talking about.
I have a driver's license. Does this mean I can justifiably drive on the other side of the road because I think the double yellow lines are egotistical?
You, sir, are a complete Ass Sponge. (Like the emphasis?)

This is from the post he made on NE:
...the current system is flawed, so i choose not to use it except where it would get me a bad grade or lose me a job...
But I wonder why he wouldn't fix his grammar so a large group of people would respect him.
Anyways, okto, your a fuckcracker.

i'm not a linguistic guerilla, i just personally don't like it. so i don't do it. and it doesn't harm anyone whose opinion i give a bloody fuck about, with the exception of cxwq.

If using capital letters is as egotistical as you say, then maybe I should go kill every Latin man on the face of the Earth for letting my forefathers concoct a language based on theirs.
If you don't like the English language, why don't you just type out your posts in french, they don't use capitals very often... oh wait, they do. Come to think of it... if you want to be respected in any way when posting over a message board, in any language, punctuation/spelling/grammar are all must haves. This includes capitals.
You truely look like a child when you post, and your arguements just show how much growing up you've yet to do.
Spectre says:
You're right, it's a miracle we aren't laughed at everywhere we go for using the language properly...oh, wait, no it isn't, because other languages have capitals too! Look! We learned something new today!
And don't pull any of that elitist fontographer crap on me. Nobody cares if it looks better uncapitalized (which it doesn't), it's still wrong. Just because somebody's an architect doesn't mean they can defy the laws of physics and build a skyscraper at a 45 degree angle.
Not in the game anymore, but it was great while it lasted. Thanks for the great years of fun, NH!

You brought this upon yourself. If the fly really really likes that shiny blue light but realizes that it hurts a little bit too late...then too bad for that fly. Deal with it.wow...*laughs* kids, it's a message board. i'm never going to see any of you...and vice versa.

This is a NERF forum, and if there's anything egotistical I see it's justifying your opinions by making yourself sound more intelligent than your peers.... it's amazing anglophones aren't laughed at avery time we open our mouths .... you only recognize good and bad orthography by feel because you were taught it by rote. i'm a fontographer, i know what i'm talking about.
(-and by peers I mean fellow "Nerfologists", not "Fontographers".)
There are much worse ways to type, but I personally categorize non-capitalization in with the other DIFFICULT TO READ patterns, like CaMeL caps, mis-spelling, no-punctuation, all caps, 1337 speak, etc. Obviously not to the same degree however.

You're right, we are never going to see you. This is all the more reason to act in a presentable manner here. We don't know you, so little things like using the proper case is all we have to judge your character.wow...*laughs* kids, it's a message board. i'm never going to see any of you...and vice versa.
i'm not a linguistic guerilla, i just personally don't like it. so i don't do it. and it doesn't harm anyone whose opinion i give a bloody fuck about, with the exception of cxwq.
If you dont give a bloody fuck about anyone here's oppinion, why do you bother to read the boards? cxwq is a great guy, but I wouldn't hang around here just because I had a hard-on for him. (Oh, by the way, you've got something brown on your nose.)

For 400 or so posts I never called you on it because your posts were otherwise very well written. It was a non-issue for me so I ignored the CoC violation. When you decided to vent about people who can't spell you brought a bit more scrutiny upon yourself. It's one thing to make an occasional mistake or even bend the rules but something else entirely when you're arguing for the right to be exempt.
At this point, I'd suggest you decide whether you want to follow the rules or post elsewhere.
