Am I The Only One Who Still Uses...

Post by Mail Order »

Correct grammer, and puncuation on the internet?!? I mean... you're all raping... yes RAPING, the English Language!!! I mean... the internet is filled with morons like *Matts*Baby*Gurl* who spell 'sexy' like 'sexi' and use the word 'eye' for 'I'!



I know I've been a real bitch lately, and I DON'T CARE!! I'll probably get taken off the 'Mod Squad' for it, or even banned... but oh well! I'm following Brillo and Hara-Kiri's examples, I'm finally saying WHAT I FEEL. I've accepted and tolerated all of the stupid, annoying idiots for SO long, keeping it bottled up, it's driven me crazier than EVER! AHHHH!!!!



And I KNOW that TH USED to be my life, but when it was gone for the week or so that it was I realized that I CAN live without it, and that I DO have better things to do with my time... Like dealing with my OWN problems right now!!! And...and...and... I can no longer express how I feel with words... Just writing this has made me madder than ever, and no words in the english language can describe how I'm feeling at this very moment...



So, I'll just leave now before I really get going and start singling people out... There's so much I could say about almost each and everyone of you... SO, what comes of these words of anger will come, and it will pass...

The seas part when they hit the floor,

The voices carry on and out the door

And everything you touch turns into gold

Like the angel you are you laugh creating a lightness in my chest,

Your eyes they penetrate me,

(Never cease to amaze me)

That's when I got up and left" Like The Angel - Rise Against

uh, sorry... all i do is refuse to capitalize things UNLESS I'M SCREAMING. ;)



i can agree with you when you say that it is rather annoying when there are whole sentences like, "eye'm gunna get wit yor man, yo. so u awl betta wach mah brotha, yall. he wil kill yew. we is sexi, ain't we? yew spel lyke me and mah brothas so u r kewl."



yeah, that makes my blood boil (especially because i am going to major in english in college this fall... argh.) sorry that these random misuse of english bothers you that much. really i am: sorry... try to smile next time you find a common annoyance like "yew" or "mah" or "sexi" (yes, the possessive pronoun thing really does bother me, too... but smiling and letting bygones be bygones helps.)
kiss, crush, bliss, blush... finally happy. so happy. so lucky.

Hee! Constructive criticism here.



If you're going to moan at people for correct usage of grammar and punctuation, spelling things correctly could help illustrate your point, rather than make it amusing and mostly groundless.

I'll admit i used to use "u" and "r" and "y" and "2" a while ago. Then I looked at how it looked - and what i came accross as- some immature dumb little girl ... so I've learned..

The only improper grammer I tend to use on a regular basis is "......" I use it when I intend a pause. For example: Wel....... I dunno.

Thank You Dani,



It is about time someone noticed and was annyed by it (I thought it was just me.)
<span style=\'font-family:Times\'Something told the wild geese

It was tine to go

Through the fields lay golden

Something wispered- "SNOW"

Leaves were green and stirring

Berries,luster-glossed

But beneath the warm feathers

Something cautioned- "FROST"

All the sagging orchards

Steamed With amber spice

But each wild breast stiffened

At rembered ice

Something told the wild geese

It was time to fly-

Summer sun was on their wings

Winter in their cry

Yup. You really have to stop worrying about breaking the rules if you want to retain your sanity. People PISS ME OFF on here. I mean, what the hell. "im so cnfused mai bf jus dumpd me n i don tno wut 2 do sum1 plz hlp i m so confused i cheetid on hm wit dese 2 other guyz n now hes mad wut did i do i luv him so much o ya we d8d 2 wks n i luvd hm so muhc!" WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ON!



Grammar, punctuation, spelling... these are all essential components in communicating effectively through a text-based medium, but most people still can't even write out three letter words (too, you, why, are, et cetera). And don't get me started on punctuation, paragraphs, (Oooh, is -that- what the key over there that says 'enter' is for?) and run ons. Ahhh. I don't need encyclopedia-perfect writing, but if it were legible it would be really helpful. Talking like that online is like mumbling with a heavy accent using slang nobody knows in speech, and NOBODY UNDERSTANDS. Then the same people come back and bitch that nobody responds and nobody likes them. BECAUSE NOBODY UNDERSTANDS THEM!



Argh.



However, it does make me respect the intelligent people on this site a lot more. Really, you CAN'T care if you're going to speak your mind about things and you're intelligent enough to think for yourself (this goes for anyplace).
"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace."
