Important notice from the GRAMMAR POLICE. Plz read. This means you.

[msalwaysright]

We can only take things the way you type them.  That is what everyone is saying.

Precisely.
Everyone is 'blaming you' for having failed to express yourself clearly because you failed to express yourself clearly.
If you frequent other forums, you may be aware that each has it's own standards and codes of conduct. Such is the case with MATY.

You are being cited for failure to comply. Lack of compliance generally results in being poked with sharp sticks and eventually killed with fire.

It's not as simple as that because they came back at me telling me i meant things that i had never written. Twisting ways i had worded things. Like some of the examples i brought up. The words i use are the words i mean, if i don't say things like 'i think you should all change for me' then thats what i meant to not put. But i've had people coming back to me with 'oh so you want us to change for you' type thing. Near the beginning i said how a spelling mistake is so bad, and i got things back saying that you basically have no intelligence if you don't capitalize something etc. So from asking an innocent enough question, people make it personal by stating what a person is if they don't spell the way THEY want. Then telling me how i don't get the way it works here even though more than once i had stated i understood. So if i took care to make it clear i understood, yet still got people repeating themselves that i didn't, just who has made the mistake there. Not me! Bottom line on the subject of this thread though, is that this site would still be good and non-n00bish even if people forgot the odd apostrophe or capital. The odd grammar drop isn't the same as people coming on going 'yo peepz, sims 3 iz da bomb (or not as the case may be) ^.^ w00t'. And it seems to be that people don't want THAT type on here?

[Soggy Fox]

Oh, and I'm dyslexic.  Do you know what I do when typing?  Unless I'm in an MMO and about to die, I -spellcheck-.  I make sure my spelling makes sense because 'hsit' does not make sense, but this does.

And when I have typed in another language, I do the same thing, since with my limited vocabulary, I could accidentally say that my mother is a kumquat, which also would make no sense.

[Carokube]

This thread has murdered me from the laughing.

[SimplyComplex]

It's just that in this day its natural to not worry too much about grammar on the net. And we're not even talking about jumbled up words here, they're on about things like not capitalising an 'I'. While some people may be anal about spelling, this type of mishap won't in any way affect a post.

Judging by your avatar, I'd say that would make perfect sense.

You can't call it a mishap when you've clearly indicated that you're doing it intentionally.

That's what you meant to not put? Well congratulations, you not putted the hell out of it.

We keep saying that you don't understand because you are not making any changes in your behavior that show you understand.
Your post above is not 'lacking the odd apostrophe', it's riddled with errors and just damn annoying to read.
This what we DO NOT WANT.

And they aren't asking you to spell the way they want, they're asking you spell things the way they are spelled. Spelling is not
subjective, you nit.

[mibsywibsy]

The simple truth is this: these people are not capable of dictating terms to another human face-to-face, so they take the easier (and slightly cowardly) alternative - to attack and gang up on 12 year olds on the internet, who dared to make a spelling mistake.

You do realize that '12s' does not actually refer to twelve year olds, right? Right?

And how pitiful are thee.

Just fucking kill yourself.

[Hook]

Jenni, some friendly advice.  You can't win, as hundreds have found out before you.  Don't fight it.  Clean up your posts as best you can, and don't argue with the criticisms.  Every word you type in your own defense is a word you aren't typing in a contribution to the game.

For most of us, lousy grammar/spelling/capitalization/punctuation/usage is annoying.  So at least try, ok?

Hooray! This noob brings us gay pronreaux! I vote we keep this one.

Aforementioned noob does appear to have some authority on gay pr0n, which is a highly marketable skill of course.. It would behoove us to accept him into the fold.

Hey Merle, long time no peep. Glad you are undaunted by our vish 12s. 

[SimplyComplex]

Thats just the way i type. I don't use silly n00b speak, or 'pmsl' everywhere, but yeah, i do cut corners with capital I's. And it's not riddled with errors. And 'in your opinion is annoying', yes. I also love the way you use 'we' to refer to yourselves. It's like your a cult or something. You seem to forget you don't own the site, even if you feel you are some type of minion. Pescado hasn't once really said anything himself about how to behave with grammar, this thread wasn't even created by him! I said i understood, now you are telling me AGAIN that i don't and telling me the reason why you think it. I'm careful that i type things to an 'alright' standard, but i know i just won't be able to keep to making sure every tiny thing is done 'the proper' way. And it has nothing to so with doing it 'intentionally'. It's my habit, but it gets me by. If the guy in charge asks me to try harder than perhaps it's more worth thinking about.  

I'm not trying to 'win' anything. Was just having a conversation

If you understand, why are you continuing to post like an idiot without proper capitalization?  Do you think you are going to win the day with all your "i mean this, i mean that, by all means i understands?"  We repeat ourselves because you seem to need the repetition in order to learn.  Rather like a dog learning a new trick, you are.  Sadly, most dogs would have learned by now.  You are the unfortunate tard dog that insists on pissing the rug though it should know better.  You will be assessed and treated as such.  Enjoy your time here, SimplyStupid.

Oh, no worries... I'll probably go MIA again in less than a week, completely independent of 12s population. It is my way.

On the other hand, you may see me around.. I'm desperate to mod the cocoon baby blanket and pudding-face textures. Only time will tell.  

[Jack Rudd]

Proper capitalization is important, SimplyComplex. As you will know if you have ever had to help your uncle Jack off a horse.

[SimplyComplex]

Well i may not spell like some people want me to, but i have more intelligence than to resort to stupid name calling.

Does jacking off a cat count? Because i've done that   all in the name of vet care though lol.

*sigh* Typing to your 'alright standard' is not going to cut it here. Your 'alright' is our horrible. 'We', and 'our', meaning the majority of
people who are regular posters and who prefer this standard. The citizenry, the MATYians.
And what do you mean 'cut corners with capital I's'? The shift key is no further when typing an 'I' as it is for any other letter, and
there is no shortage of capital letters as far as I know.

Proper capitalization is important, SimplyComplex. As you will know if you have ever had to help your uncle Jack off a horse.

That was a brilliant, vivid illustration.

I really don't think you want Pes to come in here to tell you anything.  You're likely to just get summarily nuked if he has to trouble himself with you.

[TashaYarrr]

There are so many things wrong with this I can't even pick one to start with.

[SimplyComplex]

Yet you had to take the time to state it?

[phyllis_p]

It's like your you're a cult or something. You seem to forget you don't own the site, even if you feel you are some type of minion.

Grammar Police has been sanctioned by JMP.  He is a manager who knows how to delegate.

Read the FAQ (also sanctioned by JMP).  Stop acting like a 12.  

We ARE a cult, you know.  And we don't like you.

[J. M. Pescado]

You do realize that '12s' does not actually refer to twelve year olds, right? Right?

Uh, yes. Yes it does.

Oh i'm just distraught.. Really.

Pescado TOLD you IN THIS THREAD that he delegates to Grammar Police, dumbass.  Also, make LESS mistakes when you're telling people you "understand" otherwise you end up sounding like a moron who doesn't understand, surprisingly enough.  Your writing IS riddled with errors, and it seems like you haven't taken the care to even think about what you're typing, let alone check it for mistakes.

If the site owner tells me to spell my i's as capitals then i will, thats fair enough. But to say someone isn't intelligent all because of a capital here and there on a forum? Come on, please. Like intelligence comes down to that. You could be a bloody heart surgeon yet be dyslexic. I thought you also said tedious people were tards.. well thats you all still included. My god, now it's all coming down to an 'i'. I I I I I I I I I I I I I oooooo bet you feel good now! Have you got tingles.

Look, site owners are busy people. We have Grammar Police for that. Notice how OTHER sites have piles of moderators, but *WE* have GRAMMAR POLICE. There's a reason for that. Quit being a stupid.

How clear does he have to be, exactly?  You do NOT want him coming to your house to explain it to you.
