I realize that this is a virtual community. I understand the fact that all Homo sapiens come across a word that is difficult to spell. I know that proper english grammar can be an unsurmountable pain in the gluteus maximus with all of its rules and exceptions.
The fact remains that if you write like a moron in a virtual community, people get the impression that 1. You don't give a rats rear how you come across to others, 2. You're too stupid to even know what a comma or period is for and how they're used, 3. You don't/never pay/paid attention in English class and do the bare minimum to pass, and 4. You actually speak how you write, which is the result of intense "fronting" to your friends in gang-ese and believe that getting an education is a waste of time.
Now, I by no stretch of the imagination consider myself to be perfect or a know-it-all and I don't pretend either, but for crying out loud USE A PERIOD AT THE END OF YOUR SENTENCES AND CAPITOLIZE! At least try to utilize the correct tense of a word. Here are some examples:
Our
Are
Know
No
Sense
Cents
Hear
Here
One more thing, hit the return/enter key every so often. A sentence doesn't span 40,000 lines.
You are missing our sense of fun. And some of our members are not Amercian and English is not their first langauge. So dont be so up tight and have fun we do

Spoonz.....you should take a look in here, you will love it. O0
http://www.pogocheats.net/forum/index.php/topic,25390.0.html
I'm not sure if I should make the comment of dude, chill were not writing a newspaper here or what. Yes some of us English is a first language, others it is not. And in many cases, one may speak English but not American English. Thus it is harder to understand them and their accent comes through thick on these message boards.
But we do have one language in common-what I call pogoease. Though our typos and misspellings we still manage to have fun and understand each other.
Sometimes many of us our at work, and we are reading the message boards and when we wish to post a comment, sometimes we have to type what we are thinking fast, hit post and get back to work. Grammer ends up taking a back seat.
So just chill. We do the best we can.
Amen! bubble.. the POINT is here, to have FUN..screw grammer. we know what we are talking about.. and we can even understand Gecko once in awhile to.. :)).. Love ya GD!! <3

I know Gecko speaks english-well, his own unique version of english-but we still love him and understand him.
Personally? I agree with Spoonz. Bad grammar is a pet peeve of mine, and I do think it's a bad reflection of a person. However, convinced we're a nation of idiots (look who our president is) there's not a whole lost we can do about it.
I, however, know how to form a proper sentence, and will never take the lazy route. Except when I'm drunk and in the Southern Thread. O0
i never cared if people used correct grammar.as long as they dont type like...... "aY0 G whaSSz geWd wiF ju maYunN??!!" then its cool.only idiots or wanna be trendy "ghetto online" people would do that :))

Your unique gecko. We love you becuase of that <3
Spoonz? Word. I totally agree...Except I do type how I speak, and I encourage others to do so as well. I think Gecko types how he speaks. But like someone said, Aussie English is his first language...and scarily enough, I am coming to understand it!
My personal biggest pet-peeve is not using the frickin spell checker when the button is right there! I am a member of another forum where they will lambaste you for not using correct grammar...but THEY don't supply a spell checker! Its nice that its there, so for the love of everything good and holy people...USE IT!
But yeah, we have all been getting along recently...I am not trying to rock the boat. You should have seen it when (https://img525.imageshack.us/img525/1843/crazy7ce.gif) and Chad were here. Gawd. We used to get headaches trying to read the slanty type!
I thought I was bad with spelling, even though I do tend to forget to spell checker. I agree with fox though if you want to see bad grammer, reread some of chad's post's and Bree and her 100 personality's.

Now, I by no stretch of the imagination consider myself to be perfect or a know-it-all and I don't pretend either, but for crying out loud USE A PERIOD AT THE END OF YOUR SENTENCES AND CAPITOLIZE!
...and sometimes the spell check fails. For instance, "capitol" means: 1. A building or complex of buildings in which a state legislature meets. 1. Capitol The building in Washington, D.C., where the Congress of the United States meets.
"capital" on the other hand: Means a bunch of stuff. I won't bore you with the details. Most importantly though, it is: 7. A capital letter.
So, it should be "capitalize". But, like I said. The spell checker lets the best of us down sometimes.

There is another class of people here that needs to be recognized. I and many others (I'm fairly sure) are not missing any fries from our Happy Meals. Our stairs go all the way to the attic. When the lights come on, we are at home. There are no bricks missing from our foundations. We went to school to learn and brought home report cards that we could be proud of. Hell you get the picture. We are handicapped however, by physical conditions that make typing difficult. In my case,it's eyesight. I am a severe diabetic. I need a different pair of glasses each day depending on what my blood sugar is for that particular day. Some days I have to wear two or three pair of glasses at the same time to see well enough to type. It's a pain in the ass. I have another disability (this one was brought on by my own stupidity). When I was growing up all girls were encouraged to learn to type so they could grow up to be secretary's and wait on men. I chose not to follow that path and would not learn to type until I got my first computer when I was in my forties. Now I use three or four fingers to type...it's the best I can do. I try to use spell check but when you're trying to post to a "hot topic" if you take too long to post you lose your turn and have to start over. I choose to send my posts through with all their mistakes. Spoonz, because I am part of this forum and have just as much right to post as you do. I also have the right to do it without being harassed about it.
I totally agree PogoS.. not all of us are as well 'rounded' as others here..WE are people to..even with our mistakes and sometimes short commings..You either like me cause of who I am NOT how I spell or talk. I'll dot my I's and cross my T's to the best of my knowledge.I may not have good grammar but i'm as honest as the day is long, that should account for something. Nuff said from me,and yes, I mispelled 'nuff' on purpose. My $.25 worth.
I don't really mind how people here type as long as I get the gist of what's being said. Everyone makes mistakes.. I know I do. I don't like the slanted typing that Chad did. If I can't understand what's being said then I don't bother reading the post.
To the orginial poster. We all love each other we are not just a online community we are a online family. We would love to have you join us but we are what you read. So just dive on in and join the love( fray ,fight are what ever it is at the time) But have fun :)) :)) :)) <3

No you don't type like a retard. Hee! I can always tell what you are talking about.
lmao I gotta jump in on this topic.... I have taken typing and I type for a living...I type correctly 8 hours a day this is my relief. I seldom use periods, commas, or capitol letters, when not at work. The way I look at it .. long as it is legible and peeps can figure out what is being said, then it is okey dokey with me, if I wanted my posts critiqued I'd join a forum designated for writers. I ain't a writer I a pogo junkie that likes this forum!
*goes to corner to lurk*
I agree with everyone that has commented on this thread. Everyone should use proper grammar, punctuation and capitalize correctly. But who the heck are you to tell me to use it. I don't know you from a hole in the wall and I sure as heck don't like taking orders from strangers. If I puncuate, fine, if I capitalize my words fine, if I don't I really don't give a rats azz if you like it or not. As long as everyone understands what I am talking about that is all that matters to me.
