ENGLISH - USE IT.

[Brockas]

The amount of nonsensical drivel that is being posted lately is getting out of hand. Nothing makes threads harder to read than "ye wotr u do in" speak. At the end of the day, while this isn't an English assessment, it is a forum, and the medium is writing. If you can't write, you're pretty much useless on here.

It's really not that hard to take the extra 10 seconds to post something legible.

From now on, if you don't take the extra 10 seconds, it's going to take you longer because we'll be deleting your posts, or possibly editing them to inform people you're mentally challenged and require a trip to the principal's office before posting again.


I think everyone can agree the moderation on this forum is pretty lax, and it will remain that way when dealing with content. None of the moderators are here to further their ego and make themselves feel important (well, maybe one), so we don't feel the need to delete or lock threads just for the sake of it.


We'll forgive you for missing a comma or capital letter, but "SMS" speak will no longer be tolerated.


If you don't know any other way of typing, Perth Street Scene are looking for members.....

Use mozilla firefox as a browser if need be ffs, it tells you when you have got it wrong and gives you the option to correct it.

[Brockas]

Same with google chrome....

[Kye]

What if i just turn caps lock on and punch my keyboard repeatedly??

Is that ok??

*cough ricca cough*

[1JZNOSHIT]

[MISS 13B]

Thank you for this thread.
It's not hard to take 2 extra minutes to construct your sentences in a legible manner.

[pgc]

Paul, thank you.

I now won't be losing IQ points reading illegible drivel. Not that I had any to begin with anyway...

[Brockas]

Paul, thank you.

I now won't be losing IQ points reading illegible drivel. Not that I had any to begin with anyway...

I know the feeling. I actually felt dumber after reading half the posts on here.

[Milhouse]

its principals office paul :D

[Brockas]

I know :D


hahaha fuck you Owain.

[Milhouse]

hahaha but yes i agree

l337 speak on a forum = fucking retarded !

[Brockas]

I LOL'd at this point :)

I probably should have restricted my vocabulary to 2 syllable words for this post, as anyone who can understand what I wrote probably already writes well.



Translated version:


DON'T POST SHIT, YOU'LL GET HAXOR3D.

[Alt_F4]

I actually felt dumber after reading half the posts on here.
Glad it wasn't just me :lol:

[TJ]

hahaha but yes i agree

l337 speak on a forum = fucking retarded !

When owain says enough, its enough :D

Seriously, my points on this are well known.

Stupid speak takes away from the standard of this place.

While we may joke around etc etc, at the least we can all speak like normal people here.

[Milhouse]

Exactly, i mean shit!
I can understand it most of the time but who wants to spend time deciphering someones pathetic attempt at typing only to find the question was fucking pointless anyway !

/rant off

Kevin Rudd tweets for help with World Cup bid....


Off to see FIFA 2 argue for Oz hosting Wrld Cup. Competition stiff. Send us your best points to use on why it shld be us. I'll use em. KRudd," the Prime Minister tweeted.

And you question why this country is full of fucktards?

[Kye]

you seriously think the prime minister wrote that himself??

Thats what the 17 yr old, wannabe politicians on work experience are for

[TJ]

LOL you think the country looks to a twitter page for literacy advise?

Come on.

[OneJ]

I realise this is the prime minister's office attempting to make him more relatable to the common man (read: idiot), but there is no excuses for his staff to twitter using sms language.

[Kye]

*sigh*

Common Man = idiot... Yes??

Who uses sms language?? .... Idiots

I say his office did a fine job.

[pgc]

Advice, Tom. Advice.

[mr_mike]

how strict are you gonna be on this? will things like u,b,r,2 or dropping the "g" on some words be picked up. I know i am pretty guilty of this and do make an effort to try avoid it.

[TJ]

Context Mike - if its an intelligent post, and you have missed a letter or two, could be ignored.

posts like

lol wut dat was wiked hey yeah man CAPS LOCK FOR NO REASON = moderation.

those are my thoughts.. but its open to clarification by the admin team.

[Tocchi]

i fail to comprehend why its so "popular" with young people. it takes longer to type in their fucked way, compared to typing normally

As the resident antilag teacher representative of the forum, I thank you for this thread.

It is the best thread! This thread excites me!

Also, a little lesson taught by me in year 2 involves understanding which there/their to use in the correct context. It is one of my pet hates that I see, not only on the forum, but in general! That is all.

[Milhouse]

[RICEY]

The old rule that always confused me was

[Mandee]

The old rule that always confused me was

A place - there - Not here but over there

A Person - their - their

I know ALL the rules!!
