Required use of grammar.

[ben312]

this really is a dumb idea. comma's are nice but it doesn't much matter on an internet fourm.

[ben312]

and your poll only proves everyone's but your point.

Op is a tool

No but honestly.

OP, are you out of your mind? You think just because someones location is listed as "NY", they should automatically be fluent in English just because they are located in U.S soil?

Believe it or not, not all 300 million people in the U.S have English as their first language.

Thats cause we be in SoCal where half the peoples here don't speak English.

Grammar isn't that big a deal. Some do have a hard time, it's the idiots here that I ignore because of the confusion in their posts. So don't read their posts. I do hate the laziness in certain members though, they abbreviate random words and their spelling is horrendous.

[slow e30]

obviously some people are not understanding where i am coming from.

Half of you bitch and moan half the time you see bad grammar as well, so i dont see the issue, you damn boat jumpers.

If you speak of any other language on r3v, where is it? Im sure EVERYONE here including people who translate CAN use a general sense of grammar.

Yes, the prime example someone posted is someone i just hate reading posts from.

Racist? No. I dont hate one group of ethnicity, i hate every one, equally. Sorry.

There has to be some sort of action. In the past 4 years, it has gone from a seldom case of bad grammar, to almost 1 of 5 posts. its really getting out of hand.

My point is: if someone has to think to themselves "what the fu*k did he just try to say?" in their minds, its gone too far.

People only bitch 25% of the time.

Oh, and it's I don't*

[416stroker]

Ban the OP.

That is all.

This could help

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.

Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.

Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.

Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl.

I voted :

A punishment that ensures correct usage from that point on.

We hog tie them and whip the crap out of them!!!!!

If it is ledgable......... thats a good start! Everything else is gravy!

[BillBrasky]

My grammar died 3 years ago. She could make one hell of a spaghetti sauce.

[Wh33lhop]

I have noticed A LOT of high post users complain as well, and believe if someone posts a post with incorrect use of grammar, there should be a punishment of some sort, something like a 12-24 hour ban on posting anything on r3v, including PM's, emails, etc.

I understand people from Europe and such having a hard time translating to English, that's understandable once someone looks to the left and can see where the OP came from, but someone from Boston, New York, or anywhere where English is the common language really needs to get it together.

I'm not asking for people to use college level mid term paper grammar, but I am asking for a general common line of correct usage.

Obviously some people are not understanding where I am coming from.

Half of you bitch and moan half the time you see bad grammar as well, so I don't see the issue, you damn boat jumpers.
