Grammarific

Postby Avo » April 21st, 2010, 6:35 am

You know what this is about, it's about grammar. C'mon! We all messed up with grammar once in our lives! (I might have messed up my grammar in that sentence...) Even today we still mess up. For instance, it's and its. They're the same, right? But when do we use 'em? It's means "it is" and its means something that belongs to "it" or something like that......

Even punctuation has something to do with grammar. Like if you say: "That's correct right?" You forgot the comma, it should be like this: "That's correct, right?". Sometimes we forget periods in our sentences. And more importantly, we forget question marks if we are asking a question.

Your thoughts on grammar?

Yes... There are a few people on the forums who threaten others to report them if they don't user more proper grammar. I mean... Yes, sentences would look nicer with commas, capitalization and periods, but we gotta remember that there are some young people who go to this site, and not all of them are book smart.

People who use improper grammar are dumb. However you should expect someone foreign to use improper English grammar. This is because they have a lack of education. You need this for your future.

BS
Only because of different grammar rules, for example, the Spanish language refers to things in masculine or feminine form (Ex: Perro/Perra, Gato/Gata )
Makes no sense

I'm a Grammer Nazi. I will go back and edit something of there's one mistake in it (Well, maybe not...). I LOOOVE grammer. Also, isn't the comma one of those tricky ones? Like it isn't always necessary? Notice how my grammer was perfect?

*Facepalm.*

That was literally the ultimate facepalm.

Anyhow, I tend to write with as good grammar as I can muster, but I don't mind if others don't, as long as they're understandable.

You wouldn't use XD on grammar. This is what a teenager does in his/her story.
