I use good grammar!

No offense to him, but I can barely comprehend fanofcena's posts.


I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

I definitely worry, and fix spelling mistakes  smile . Also, I sometimes re-read my posts to make sure it makes sense.

He doesn't know English that good I heard. Exactly how we would be if we were in a foreign language-speaking site.

I use the best grammar I can all the time. Unless I'm chatting.

Sometimes fanofcena's posts have so many grammar mistakes that I have to waste minutes trying to figure out what he wanted to say.

Oops, sorry.  That one was an accident.

Also, what do you mean by "fail"?  People are using that for no reason now.

Fail means, you fail in a way.

And no, this is one of the first times I said 'fail' this year.

You got to watch what you are talking about.  tongue

I sometimes use slang, but usually not. Otherwise, my spelling, grammar, and punctuation mistakes are pretty uncommon.

My sentence structure is varied and non-typical. In fourth grade, I was an expert on subject-verb agreement.

I worry, Just because where I come from you need to have at least Decent grammar to stay. Luckily I practiced and now I think I've passed the "Decent Grammar" mark. ^_^

A good strategy is to read your message before you post it. That way you can catch typo's and such.

I agree not. fanofcena's posts haven't so much grammar errors, I think he abbreviates his words.

? Holy, I find so many mistakes in people's posts.
Don't capitalize "decent" or "grammar", they aren't titles of nobility!
Same with "just"
Typos, yes, you just made one.

Sorry, everyone calls me a "grammar machine".

I make mistakes very rarely.

Maybe it's because I practice revising sentences in class..

EDIT: Rewriting sentences:

Greatdane! A mistake  tongue


I try to use the best grammar possible, but when I hurry to post I will make mistakes. If I found them looking back, however, I always edit them.


I've taken a long hiatus, but I still visit sometimes. Give me some time to answer any messages you post on my projects!

Yes, however...

It was meant to be that. Almost like a kind of wandering thought.

I don't like using three periods..

Oh, you see? I did it again.  tongue

Same. In chats, I usually speak like this. all lowercase, weirdly spelled words, cuz I have no need to fix anything unless it doesnt make sense. Lol. I usually type like this in forums, meeting boards, and sometimes comments.

I tend to pick on errors on things I read.  Although I make them too!
