I agree, people should preview their posts before submitting them. Oh, and I love your Shishka signature. Hilarious...

While grammar is a necessity in the more mature gaming communities, frankly here it's merely a bonus. In my opinion, if it's legible then it's fine, if it's not, then chances are it's not worth reading.


"If it's legible"
Not so, you can understand them, but it may not be what they meant.
Here's an example:
With proper grammar: I helped my Uncle, Jack, off a horse.
With improper grammar: i helped my uncle jack off a horse.

See?

Forgetting to put a comma before and after a direct address could create some funny sentences like that. *hehe*

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

I agree. Something as simple as running a spellchecker goes a long way. I would never take someone saying "i thikn taht we need 2 [insert idea here] tahnks bungie11!!" seriously. Just my opinion.

The odd part about members that spell like crap is they are usually trolls. It goes hand in hand.

I'd say that's a pretty conservative estimate.

I think Evilbluekoala's hand slipped on the keyboard. Shouldn't it have been 14?

I thought that his "0" key was broken. The Halo 3 forum needs some ritalin. Soon.

As rightfully stated above, I was being nice.

Luckily, no need for that around here appearantly.

Beg pardon?

Anyway, I often wonder whether it really is quicker to type like a moron on "teh forums"

True. I'm going insane trying to tie storylines together. That just makes me even crazier, I suppose. How about a plea for intelligence?

Then explain to me why in your sig you use an apostrophe with a plural noun, "Mac's."
Some more minor points are why you used a semicolon in your post, and (only a comma is necessary) why in your sig do you use a colon when what precedes it is not a full clause (colons should only be used after independent clauses)?

Except for the apostrophe, none of these are a big deal: I'm merely trying to point out to you that you should think twice before declaring yourself part of an elite minority.

Yes, some grammar errors cause physical pain to me; but not enough people care about the vagaries of commas, apostrophes, semicolons, and colons. Why bother when you can just string it all together? Of course people put up with it because most people don't know or don't care about grammar rules. I don't expect perfection, but it would be nice if more people would learn to use a semicolon and apostrophe and stop hurting my eyes the misuse of the contraction "it's," using apostrophes for plural nouns, and of course the dreaded comma splice.
