Grammar Critiques

Not open for further replies.
Bad grammar angers me because it takes me longer to read the post, because I can't figure out what they're trying to say. Learn English, or get the fuck out.
 
Make that nineteen members now. I can't stand incorrect grammar, needless to say I doubly can't stand incorrect grammar when people correct the grammar of other people.

So, Ghan and 3rgytr54, hang your heads in shame.
 
Alright, this group has me here. I got good English, I can't stand my friends as such writing such lazy English like "lol or lolz" as such, I would prefer some nearly perfected English, also including to say it simply is direct.

Usually I will have to correct the grammar of my MSN group class as such. This group stands out well.
 
Twenty-three members.
I am the last of that number :) I'm just happy that such a group exists in this very disorderly world of 'lol dood, stupid orc pushed lmao up, rofl! so fail, dude!'
 
I'm the 30th member of this group. I have very good English, I hardly ever make typing mistakes. Yes, I do see many users which use grammar like ''lol, b4, r u sk8ing every1?, o rly...''. I am for proper grammar too!!:smile:
 
Hey guys. I decided to join as well, because of the all the grammar/spelling mistakes that people make in this world just to look cool. Sergeant Ray also pretty much summarized everything else I had to say. :P
 
52 members, my friends. I can't stand anything that doesn't have proper grammar, improper spelling, improper word usage, or the insufficient use of commas and aphostrophes. And especially capitalization.

This is the internet, everyone can see you. If you embarass yourself here, then everyone can see that you have no idea on how to speak proper English. I really feel sorry for those people with incomprehensible English.
 
Here am I, the dead fish emerging from the bottom of sea.
Hello there fellow members of the Grammar Critiques. First of all I don`t like that `lol` thing that most people write, what does this `lol` even mean?!
I am very good in English (best in my class), but I am bad at grammar.
And I always try to write correct. :)

EDIT:
Damn still no new members.
 
What's up? I suppose this is when I say something to the effect of "I'm a grammar nazi, and I hate when I see people use things like 'lulz i jst pwnt tht nub'," right? Well, I am a grammar nazi... however, I believe my grammar problems are more aimed at people who just don't bother to do it properly. I've never had a serious problem with the '1337speak' and, when I'm truly bored, I'll use it myself. I've just always had a problem with the laziness that seems to be spread by people who may actually be smart, but don't show it because they refuse to spend the time it takes to type a simple sentence.

And, just one small correction I wanna make, DEAD FiSH, I believe you meant "And I always try to write correctly."
 
For some reason, I always feel uncomfortable when I see something being done imperfectly or in a messy way, so I'm kind of like a mini built-in Grammar Nazi. :/
 
I see there are rotten eggs within our ranks!
This must be countered swiftly!

Remember capital "i" when you're referring to yourself.

Oh hello there good sir, I speak like a British gentlemen?
Any objections about the fact that I'm not a British and still speak like them?
If no, sir, please leave me alone or I'll fire my mini-gun at you.

This is the correct way:
"Why hello there, good sir! Do I speak like a British gentleman?
Do you have any objections to the fact that I'm not British, yet I still speak like one?"

The True Grammar Nazi™ is on the loose.
 
You call yourself a Grammar Nazi, yet you fail horribly. You don't even comprehend the very basics of the English language.

Look at this piece of text from your post:
"a British gentlemen?"
Fails like that make me cry.
 
Hello, i'm new here and i hope i understand right. I want to join this group because, even i'm not a native English speaker i do dislike this bad grammar that fills the minds of many... i sometimes stand even 5 minutes to figure what people say in a Warcraft game.
 
Hello.
English is not my native language, i even don't speak it fluently but i try to improve it.

I may ask several questions about grammar, and i think this group is the most appropriate place, i don't think it's worth a thread in the off-topic forum.
But let me know if my guess are wrong, and of course if my grammar is not good enough let's correct it.
 
Ok, first question.

When i was at school we've learned to use "too much", but now i rarely see it, but just "too" instead.
Like that :

It was way too hard.

So i suppose it's commonly used in speaking but what about writing ?
Is "too much" "deprecated" ?
 
As far as i know... "too" is used to "fortify" an adjective or adverb. Like:
too large, too high, too much, too big, etc. It refers that the specific characteristic presented (high, large, fast, etc) is greater than normal.
 
@Troll-Brain:

You can use it in writing.
Usually, these kinds of phrases set the tone.
If you want to make the essay/paragraph/piece of text sound more professional, you can use something like this:
- It was difficult.
- It was quite difficult.
- It was intense.
- It was quite intense.
- It was utterly difficult. (Grammatically correct, but doesn't sound good.)

Sometimes, replacing a phrase like "way too hard" with "difficult" can do wonders to a piece of text.
