Subject: Mandatory Literacy Test?

Should there be a mandatory literacy test before you are allowed to post on the forums?

It could be something like this:


Complete the following sentences to gain access to the Bungie.net forums:


When they get [there|their|they're], [there|their|they're] going put on [there|their|they're] mittens.

[Your|You're] nuts if you think I'm going to polish [your|you're] armor for free.


Answer Key:

When they get there, they're going to put on their mittens.

You're nuts if you think I'm going to polish your armor for free.

No.

Who the hell do you think I am?

Yes, yes I do. If you can't understand basic grammar, you shouldn't even be allowed on the internet in the first place.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

He's talking about the forums, and for one to post on an internet forum, they must understand basic grammar or they should not be allowed to post.

No, just no. These are public forums, and we have no need to call the grammar police on every typo or mistake.

I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear.

Yes, yes I do. If you can't understand basic grammar, you shouldn't even be aloud on the internet in the first place.

That has to be intentional.

I play for fun and armory completion. :)

This kinda sounds like Jim Crow laws lol. Anyway, I like this idea even though it will never be implemented.

The people complaining about bad grammar seem to be more annoying than the bad grammar itself.

No more annoying than the Elder Mythic member denying suggestions without any justification :p

And it's ironic because you have excellent grammar and it'd only take you five seconds to complete the test and never worry about it ever again.

  • 01.20.2012 3:14 PM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

General IQ tests would do. What the cut-off would be, I have no idea.

Because titles reflect intelligence right?

How does that relate to intelligence in any way? I was just poking fun at Phenomenon poking fun at me.
