Grammar

[GnomeDefender]

Are you aware that some of your forum descriptions are grammatically or stylistically incorrect? Here's an example: "Post your request here, however we cannot guarantee that your request may be answered." The comma in this example should be a semi-colon. The "may be" should be "will be."

 

[DESTROYER123]

I think that may means there's a possibilty or chance or something.
Anyway, I'm Greek so I can say enough.
I go for a frappedιά.

You might want to contact Ralle directly if you have something to say.

Why should he?

It's just as well we're all aware of it.

Grammar Nazism for the win.

Well,
Long time I though that doing bad on bad things makes it a good thing.
This is incorrect.
As a community I think we should promote the well being of the site. If we laugh about how bad everything is and tell everyone who makes mistakes to back the fuck up, the community will be the fooled one.
I stopped doing this.

 

[Celaquil]

And I am in no way inclining that's the case or that it should be.

I'm merely stating that the "Site Discussion" section is here for a reason, to discuss matters of the site, which this is pretty much 100%. That, and the more people that know of a certain "problem" the higher the chance it will be addressed.

As priory stated, no insults intended.

ftw!!

Using an abbreviation to praise Grammar Nazism is paramount to burning a church because you saw a priest accidentally set fire to a cross.
I'd quote Hank Moody (of all) on disapproval of acronyms and abbreviations, but I couldn't find it. Suffice to say, such words are an abomination to an otherwise beautiful language.
- Abbreviation and abomination are surprisingly similar words, food for thought.

Why? >'(
This is so much fun!

Also, this is my thread. ♥

If you think about it, there should never be a reason to be an asshole.

 

[I3lackDeath]

"Never be a reason to..." actually applies to a lot of stuff around here, but well, HERE WE ARE. I mean, it's Hive. It's part of its essence, to cause all kinds of frick here and there.

There's not a single train you can take, there's a shitton of them. Whatever floats your boat, one usually says.

I apologise, Master.
I won't repeat such actions again.

 

[HammerFist132]

Thead about grammar, omg this is not place for me.

 

[Ralle]

If people can confirm this, I would be more than happy to change the forum description.

 

[General Frank]

Under requests it says:
Need a resource done for your project? Post your request here, however we cannot guarantee that your request may be answered.

 

[fladdermasken]

Remember brosephs, "I'm", "I'd", "you're" and "don't" are also abbreviations. Also even though ftw is nails to a chalkboard to me, like people using the interjection fail, Shakespeare and Chaucer didn't get to where they're at by sticking to standardized grammatical constructs or taxonomy.

That said, if you're just being sloppy or you're impairing communication by being an uneducated dickwad (oh shit I urbanized (and made up a fake verb)), you and I are going to have a problem.

...what were we talking about?

 

[General Frank]

I am sorry for trying to make this a better place

 

[I3lackDeath]

You better be. I don't know if this place and people will ever recover from your intentions.
Now give me that cigar, I want to taste some good herb.

 

[Xonok]

On topic,

"may be" is the correct form in this context.

Go peck at seeds, mother hen.

I did by no means imply my "don't"'s and "you're"'s not to be abbreviations, though whereas "...such words..." might be construed to mean a collective gathering of all abbreviations, I convey no such falsehood.

Some abbreviations serve to make language flow better, fidelity flowing for function, if you may. While others simply serve to degrade our language, per my point of view.

That said, if you're just being sloppy or implying my being an uneducated dickwad, you and I are going to have to break bred, over a knuckle-fight tournament to the sound of bird drops and rain shit, fencing prejudice on the periphery of bias...

...we were talking about mothers.

I apologise, Master.

Don't apologize.

I am sorry for trying to make this a better place

DON'T

Sure we've strayed, but the topic is still pretty much grammar, in a manner of writing.

On the subject of no subject.

The part of my post beyond the abbreviations gag was just bits and thoughts about language and grammar in general, not implied jeers at you.

 

[neo_sluf]

Abbreviation makes the word easy to understand and memorize just like our teacher says..

But if you abbreviate What the Fuck. Fuck or other bad words to hide their meanings to the Idiot Ones.. then Fuck You..

Ok back to the topic..

Maybe has a 50/50 and Will is 100%..

 

[BallisticTerrain]

Its not that the site itself is slightly incorrect in rare cases, It's how 75% of people here have little idea what grammar, spelling, and proper word usage are.
You don't need to fully learn english, but at least put the effort in and try to make it not require decryption.

Translation to eNGLerSH (The horribly deformed language that is used by about 20% of the people here. Worse than normal bad english.)

it's not the site is almost incorect in some case's it's how 75% of the people dont now what grammer spelling and using word's are.You dont want to finally learn english,but at least put effort in to try make it not require uncodeing.

 

[Ralle]

Can we just get the messages and the corrected messages posted here so I know what to replace? This discussion is confusing me greatly.

 

[fladdermasken]

Since a thread's up for it, the terrain board description is a bit off.

Terrain Board Need some help with making a terrain? Got an terrain screenshot that you would like to showcase? This is the place for you.

Bit abundant; one is enough ("help making" or "help with")
Wrong article

 

[Ralle]

Fixed. Interestingly I found it to say "Got an<space><space>terrain" so there might have been an adjective in there at some point. Anyway, thanks for the fix.

 

[JB_McKnight]

I am sorry for trying to make this a better place

Why can't you guys be like Frankster?

I don't understand why you guys have to correct a person so harshly when it comes to grammar. I mean, if you guys are so good at speaking in English, then why not just tell the person discreetly? Write a FREAKING bodacious paragraph if you have to, impress them with your "English Skills".

Seriously guys, THESE are the people that make up the Hive?

 

[Squiggy]

The adjective was 'awesome'.
I can remember it.

Can we stop the nitpicking now?
I mean, out of all the people, I'm one of those who care a lot about sytlistic and gramatically correct written English but.. doesn't this go a bit outta hand yo?
Who even cares about the marginal difference between ' don't ' and 'do not', really?
Not like we're all native English speakers or anything, right..?

 

[I3lackDeath]

Isn't it human nature to seek perfection?
We should hire someone who has a PhD in English Literature.
