Why people at least 3-5 years older than me have worse spelling and grammar than me. It doesn't make sense. And sometimes they don't make sense. Which also doesn't make sense. And if you're one of those pathetic 13-15 year olds on here replying here, angry, I respond with a 'shut up' and an arrow to the knee.

First of all, the age is not a way to measure the knowledge someone has on English.
We may speak english here, because it is the only language that is accepted, but many people here haven't English as a native language. I am one of them. I am Greek.
On the other hand, if you wanna be more mature than them, don't try to scare each person who doesnt know to speak well english, or at least in a level that is clearly understood. Try to help them. Thats better.
Moreover, you are not the perfect to say them "shut up". If you can't see mistakes in grammar from others, then press /deafen and play on that great server.
-
1. This isn't a great server, it's one of the worst
2. There is going to be no /deafen on the SMP server.
3. I apologize if english is not your first language.
I merged the posts. Avoid double posting on forum. Thank you!

I'm am dieing of laughter due to your terrible use of periods in a topic about grammar.
-
I see no incorrect use of periods in my topic.

Just because it is not grammatically incorrect doesn't mean that you haven't made a poor choice to put a period there.
-
Put a period where?
-
Why people at least 3-5 years older than me have worse spelling and grammar than me.(should be a comma) It doesn't make sense. And sometimes they don't make sense.(should be a comma) Which also doesn't make sense.

Sure what you had was correct, but it chops your paragraph into too many sentences and it just looks and reads bad.
-
Maybe he supports the idea of making small sentences, whish is an easier way to write correct english.
Anyway, I wont post again here.. Its meaningless.
-
Your inadequate postulate regarding the undistinguished age correlating to proper morphology is profoundly absurd. I for one perceive my practice of proper English to be of an exceedingly greater magnitude than yours, thus concluding that your original inference is indubitably false. Need I continue?
-
Ah, but you are more than five years older than me, and I think you have made your point.
By the way, you sounded like sheldon right there.

Oh but how your inferior practice of punctuation and tense truly promote my rebuttal! As well, I do not believe you ever "heard" me at all.
I do say sir, your use of grammar is providing nothing more than a title for you- Sir Hypocrite!
Hahahahahahahahaha...

Ouch, arrow in the knee... This means my traveling days on 1.0 is over.
-
Hahaha.. Mr. Hypocrite? hahaha..!!
That was good Relkeb!!
-
Especially with the Troll face :)
-
I would ALSO like to announce that I never said I had perfect grammar.
-
So, why are you complaining that we have bad grammar? When you don't have "Perfect" grammar?
-
I make you a favor by posting here..
Its too late to announce that you haven't the perfect grammar Sir. Hypocrite. I will call you like that, till you do the obvious.
-
The obvious is not obvious to me.
-
So now he's trying to fit in or be cool?
If this is one of the worst servers, go away then.
-
Why people at least 3-5 years older than me have worse spelling and grammar than me.
And you turn around saying that you don't have "Perfect" grammar.
Think about it, English may be you're first language, When people like myself have a Different first language.
P.S. you forgot the DO at the beginning " Why Do people at least...
-
3. I apologize if english is not your first language.
All I am trying to say here is that I don't understand why people at least three years older than me, a ten year old, don't even BOTHER to use even proper spelling. I.E "wh4ts up pplz u wnna go bild a spaicshep" or "whats up man so you wan't to build some castles'"
-
Xplo the beginning was continuing on from the title.
-
Im sorry, But i haven't even seen people talk like diz on teh servah.
-
Well, thats how they want to talk, let them be Crimson.
-
Well, thats how they want to talk, let them be Crimson.
No.
-
Then leave. If you don't like how people talk, or you just don't like the server, please leave. Frankly, I don't want you here.
Oh and relkeb, I don't understand what the hell you said, but that was a great way to start my day. :3
-
Well, thats how they want to talk, let them be Crimson.
No.
You sir, are quite annoying now. Congratulations, have a medal. I hope it was worth it.
Now, please shut up, because it annoys me too when ppl tlk liek th1s, but I live with it, and so will you.
-
I think this is one of the Greatest posts on this forum.
Due to the lack of social intelligence you contain, Sir. Hypocrite.
People are allowed to talk as they wish and I will not stop them. Unless, of course, I cannot understand a word the say.
This has been a laugh and I wish to see more of these terrible posts in the future. Just for the 'shits 'n' giggles'.
-
The resons peoples talkz lik diz :P Is because they are talking informally, and to friends. Maybe you'd understand if you'd stop moaning, and socialise.
-
Why I must say, Sir Hypocrite, your hypocrisy is indubitably stupendous!
Why I even bought you an eye-catching teacup!

WELL I can offer an explanation for that, I've attempted to study this before.
The people that spell like this are the people who don't do well in school. When they are questioned about said spelling their response is
usually something along the lines of (I quote what someone said to me) "why da fak would i do dat? dis aint an essay fukwit, lolol you are stoopid for tinking dis"
Therefore I put forward the theory that they fail so badly at essay's that they demise the thought of actually trying to seem intelligent.
Also, EXCELLENT reply relkeb =3 +1 internets to you

My native language isnt English, i speak spanish, and MY english is better than yours.
You suck at grammer

I have to agree. I don't understand why people use abbreviations for words; such as U and R. "How r u?" < "How are you?" - "That is 4 my window." < "That is for my window."

Okay mister mister mister.

Agreed, but there is no reason to start a campaign against them.

And if you're one of those pathetic 13-15 year olds on here replying here, angry, I respond with a 'shut up' and an arrow to the knee.
What I don't understand is why kids like you want to make a big deal out of this kind of stuff. It's not your job to 'correct' millions of others that aren't proficient in spelling and grammar-- education does this over time. It shouldn't be a big deal, because there are millions of others that aren't very good with proper English, and that's okay. It develops over time and with enough learning and education.
This topic exemplifies a very crude form of stereotyping, and this type of behavior is frowned upon because it constitutes as trolling and is meaningless. Your first post also describes the very definition of irony-- You see people using bad spelling & grammar and want to fix that, yet you, yourself, uses bad spelling/ grammar to point out this issue.
If anybody needed fixing with their spelling/ grammatical issues, it would be you. Don't think you can just fix millions of people with their issues-- that's their own problem, and we all have learned to deal with that. If we require better clarification, we will speak out, but you don't see us telling hundreds upon hundreds of others (in a less than meaningful manner) to fix their own problems that they, themselves, can overcome-- why should you?

Case closed.
Lets go home, boys.

Mr is an exception because it's an actual word.
Agreed, but there is no reason to start a campaign against them.
