YA AND Sorry

*nods in acknowledgement*

And for the love of anything you hold dear, at least try to use proper grammar. Other infractions have led to...unfortunate occurrences, for us violent types.

If anyone here has ever been on the Kingdom of Loathing, they make you pass a grammar test before you can use the chat system. One of the best ideas I've ever heard.

Yeah, I can work around bad grammar anyways.......well.......unless it's like   " itj lice dis I well Ipo sdfd  "   so uh......yeah.........just dont pull anything like that. lol just have fun.

But I ask you, how will anyone understand their point if they use bad grammer?  Eh?  Exactly.

Well, I don't know about that.  Personally, when I see posts without capital letters and lots of strange spacing or extra symbols, I tend to skip them under the assumption that there's nothing valuable contained in the post.  Also, interpreting them is often more trouble than it's worth.

The purpose of capital letters is to help distinguish between sentences, since periods are so small and difficult to see.  Without them the post looks like a long stream of words, difficult to interpret without reading very slowly and therefore using up the little time I have.  It seems much less effort to hit the "shift" button every once in a while than it is to slowly read a post over and over again.  I'm just suggesting that properly written posts are more likely to be read than lazy ones.  In addition, they make a person seem more intelligent, and people tend to take intelligent people more seriously.

I used to be a fairly big member there, almost everyone knew me. And then at some point in 2004 (when the new green boards came up) I quit going cause it hurt my head and eyes to go there anymore. Why do sites think it's cool to mess up the coloring and to add the stupid little dropdown menus? All it does is mess up my internet to click and unclick and to see the weird colors. That's why I can't go to TFN cause they have multicolored pages. (whyyy must every page be a different color? It makes me dizzy) And, so, I go to the only not messed up real boards there is. This one. Thank you, Aaron, for keeping with the grey coloring, my eyes and head thank you very much for this! And thank you for no stupid click to drop down menus!

Miba, i'm with you. Thank you Aaron for not trying to blind us with science.
On TF.NET. I have to wear shades when viewing. It's like someone barfed in technicolor.  Just because you have access to every color in the wheel doesn't mean you need to use them all at once.  I like the boards here, very sleek!

I third this whole thing...too bright of colors make me get dizzy and I trash the whole idea of the site...
