i'm honestly just playing around. it's just one of theose things that irks me on some unimportant level.

and don't worry, i'm fully aware that i'll probably piss off some people (probably the ones who make these grammatical mistakes), and everyone will start shouting. well, maybe not...

To tell you the truth - people will seriously say exactly what you just did. I don't know you. I don't know if you're serious or if you're joking - because as I said, someone would REALLY say that.

Since when is bitching about people's grammar non-hostile? You demean people by saying their grammar sucks and then act like everything is okay?

Not to mention plastering it all over the feedback board like it was serious or something.

Clearly this grammar thing was better off on your chest. Between deals on this site, we seem to bounce back and forth between mildly interesting/fun BS threads and bitchy threads like this one has become.

I think this thread was fairly light hearted. Most everyone understood that it was said mostly in jest, yet it was still a valid complaint. But then someone came along and it all went to hell...

oh, shaq-fu. i really didn't mean to post this in this forum... i meant to post it in the off-topic forum!! seriously, i just realized that i put it in the wrong place, and for that i apologize!!!

sorry guys!

and honestly, i really wasn't trying to be hostile in the OP; maybe it seemed that way, but i didn't mean to.

again, sorry guys.

so, i will abandon this poor excuse for a thread by saying:

good job metroidkiller.
Nobody needs to have perfect grammar skillz on a cheapassgaming site.
as long as you can spell out the game and where it's located enough to be able to understand what the hell they're trying to say so you can pick up the game. now that's a necessity. otherwise, fuck it.
You're being ignorant, that's ignorant.

Just because it isn't important to you doesn't mean it's not important. Those of us who are literate, and don't need to read things out loud or sound out words find it irritating. Probably more irritating than you find posts that complain about grammar.

Actually, I'm with you brother. I can understand a typo here and there but people don't seem to think proper spelling and grammar are essential to good communication anymore. They will be in for a surprise when they get out of grade school and try to get a real job.
