A forum with the language of 10 year-olds.

Seriously, how hard is it to have grammar in your posts?What is this "u cant freze wit dis rom" crap?How hard is it to put a little work into a post?
I don't think I need to write out a page-stretcher here.
It is simple, easy and efficient.
Just try it.
I mean, I thought we all spoke an actual language.

Well, as you know this is the internet so that is how you would normally talk to your friends.

You got a point there.
:)

Damn it, get back on track! We are not writing books here! If i wanted to read a book then i would go to the library! I come to the interenet to experience full uncensored grammer!

It is spelled "internet".

Thats what im talking about! Damn you! Cuccio123 isnt even a word! So when you get a name that means something in english, then we can talk about grammer!

yezboy means nothing in English either. And it's "grammar".

Seriously, Cuccio is an Italian name.
I find that remark racist, good sir.
Cuccio123 is a generic-styled username.Also, grammar is part of every language.
Even speaking in Dutch requires grammar.I love how you insult my foreign name because it is not "English",
yet I have no trouble spelling grammar.
Even though it is spelled as an English word.

um... yeah, profile names are kind of like a thing where, if you could give yourself a name, what would it be... So, with that said...
I've been around this forum for long enough to know that it's little pricks like you who tend to make this somewhat respectable forum a horrid place to try to get help from.
I'm sorry but, I believe it's posted around here somewhere that Seph would really prefer us to use proper grammar.
If you don't believe me, just look at the forum rules my dear friend.http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=4312.0
Here's a little excerpt from the rules that apply in this situation:

- Proper English must be used, spelling errors are, naturally, allowed but abbreviating words such as please, thanks and sorry is not accepted. If you can't bother to make an effort then don't bother at all. This type of language is often referred to as SMS language.

If you read the rules in their entirety, you will see that slight grammar mistakes are permitted (misspelling, and mistranslations mostly), but things like leet speak, and SMS language are in no way, shape or form are allowed.

Id agree with your original point.Posting stuff in capital letters is also ridiculous-and both scenarios are against the rules.Spare a thought for poor Tirith having to read all that crap and locking the threads.His time is better spent giving help in the Tech section.

All you need is a few more apostrophes and spaces.
But w/e. I can read it.

Over time their type will improve...(hopefully...).

Well, lol and rofl is okay. Most people understand that.
I mean, no ones expecting you to actually write "Hahahahaahahahaahahhaahahha" or "<insert username here> laughs".

timmy1991 · #15I honestly don't know what half of that stuff means...

Probably instant messages or something like that.

WinterreiseJust a reminder: RomUlation forum rules prohibit any sort of chat shorthand (stuff like 'u' instead of 'you' and 'r' instead of 'are'.)

Of course.
That rule is enforced.

WinterreiseThe majority of the enforcing for this rule is done through private messages so as not to disrupt the conversation or derail the topic. At least, that's what I do, I suppose I can't speak for other mods.

Well then.
That's nice to know.

For a minute there I thought this would be about another site. Then I found out you were talking about here, the clouds parted, and angels sang Handel's Hallelujah chorus.That said, people who are the worst offenders don't read these topics, thus leading to these sorts of topics becoming a cesspool of users who actually have a shread of intelligence getting pissed off at people we can't change. Sigh.
