Stop writing like 'tards!

[Okey Dokey]

The thing about any written language is that there are rules involved. The rules took a long time to be developed, and only came about to better assist the reader in understanding the writer. Fail to follow the rules (conventions like punctuation, speeling [teehee] etc) and the writer can expect to be ridiculed for being stupid, or else what they say is not understood.
It is best for words to be spelled right - but more important is they be the correct word for the message being imparted. Otherwise...what was the message again?

This is worth repeating, for any readers who think "spelling & grammar don't matter" It is a matter of clarity.

Like Aprila and Aprilia.....?

YES!

Also Ducati and Ducatti. Ducati is not like Bugatti!

The language is fluid, even if the rules state otherwise, and the internet has bought change on an unprecedented scale.

Too bad if your left behind clutching your rule book, The simple fact is most of them can be thrown away and it would be an improvement.

[Headbanger]

Ah, what language are you communicating in on KB then ?

I write in Headbanger.

Its very similar to English, Just the meaningless shit is ignored.If you ever read anything of mine you can't understand with minimal brain effort then please by all means ask for clarification.

[Ronin]

Don't forget the two 'to(o)'s' - (not to be confused with ballet garments)

i.e.:
I'm taking it too people
vs
I'm taking it to people


But then a lot will look at the above examples and uttering 'huh? - there's no difference".

So, "I'm taking it to the international media" is correct then?

How can my left behind clutch a rule book??

[Hitcher]

Haha yeah,why is it that the people that pick on others spelling always make mistakes themselves?

It's called irony. And it's a bitch at times.

Gargre is a proper KB word donchaknow?

Indeed. As too are crusier, scroter, and sprotsbike, to name a few.

Indeed it is, not necessarily, and no it hasn't. If anything the Internet has drawn more attention to the need for precise and accurate language.

The thing the spelling hobbyists can't get their head around is that most of what we do is just a big fat bullshitting session, a conversation, and the "rules" are meaningless in this context.

Sure if your writing a manual or a book for profit then your obliged to do your best, and someone is employed to go over it and ensure its all correct.


How does this apply to message boards?...well the self-appointed editors look like eggrolls to everybody else.

Those that insist on communicating so poorly no one can comprehend it just get ignored.

All the "mistakes/errors/breaking of rules" are ignored as its pretty damn easy to make sense of it. People write like they speak. Fucked it I need an ' in your to know whats going on.

All in all, an excellent system. Works fine for billions of people.

[Headbanger]

That's not to say I think the anal spelling type persons should cease their campaign, Its all part of the experience.

No, it wouldn't. Barring the few corrections you see above, I note that you still follow the 'rules'...

+1 with Headbanger

These guys should form a group and set out to correct all the spelling/grammer/pun chu a tion errors in all the posts on KB. That would keep the lifeless busy

It's a "generational" thing.
