Post only in excellent grammar!

Grammar is spelt as 'grammar' and not 'grammer'.

This is a test to see if people actually bother to have good grammar.

Just a question to the Scratch Team and forum moderators: Why is it you're the only ones that actually bother to have good grammar? So you're good role models? Why?

I have to post in good grammar, don't I? I already am!  smile  I do it all the time.

Tell me if you always bother!

Your username isn't capitalized. Boo! Nah, just joking. Congratulations of getting on the list! The list is made up of Scratchers that follow grammar rules.

I bother to have good grammar.


Now only using this account to post in Miscellaneous, but when Miss_Webgal becomes a Scratcher I'm ditching this account.

I usually have good grammar, but I'm not the best at spelling.

Re: Post only in excellent grammar!

I always post in good grammar (Unless it's for some reason like a topic called post in chatz speakz).

In fact whenever I spot a typo in one of my posts I hit the edit button and fix it O_o

Re: Post only in excellent grammar!

I talk in proper grammar a lot. But only on the internet, I hardly ever talk this way in the real world. And yes, the mods often talk like this because most likely they are trying to set good examples or to sound more professional like the mods they are.

But then the LOLcats destroy all that is good and correctly spelled.

This.

And I try to use good grammar whenever I can, I don't see the point of talking if no one can understand it.

I don't usually use good grammar, but i can. I do for school, but not on Scratch. Scratch isn't as important.

indubitably. I can't stand it when I see a post or comment that I can't read because the person either has terrible grammar or is using L337$p3@k.

Kind of like that SuperKing guy. He was soooo annoying.

"how to scribblenaut?' in my Scribblenauts thread.
"how to dragon?" Dragon Egg hatchery.

That kid was absolutely clueless. I doubt he is 14.

Re: Post only in excellent grammar!

I tend to have good grammar. Occasionally I make a mistake, of course, but it doesn't happen often. (Is that good?)

Re: Post only in excellent grammar!

I usually check thoroughly to make sure my posts have good grammar. Usually when I edit a post it is to fix a typo or something else that may be wrong.

Well, prior to me becoming a moderator, I generally commented using good grammar. Good grammar (and spelling!) helps to make posts more understandable and less frustrating to read. Take a look at these two sentences:

The world is just not right without cheese.

teh worl jst aint rite wthout cheez.

I think everyone will be able to read and understand both sentences. But tell me: which one of the above sentences is more easier to read and understand at first glance?

Re: Post only in excellent grammar!

I've always used good grammar when posting on the forums, though I tend to use lol or other things. Usually, the only time that I abbreviate something in a post is when I'm joking around.
All typos that I make are usually due to my keyboard. The m key doesn't work sometimes. And I swear I pressed it.

Re: Post only in excellent grammar!

I always use good grammar. It pays, and it makes a good impression on those around you; which will hopefully encourage them to follow your example.
