I understand you want to save time in a real-time game, and then forget a few capitals, punctuation marks and such, but on the forum you have all the time you want, so there's no need to rush. Why would you want to write so quickly when you know those mistakes will make people take you less seriously?
Take Ironheart for example. He has made some good maps, but because he writes exactly as you do, he's very hard to understand.
I think whether you are a native speaker or not, you should at least try to fix some errors, or simply add capitals and punctuation marks, because they barely differ between most languages. Just give it a shot, people may suddenly have a whole different attitude to you.

It's weird that all of you people are arguing about grammar, yet none of you guys can write a paragraph without making a mistake in grammar or orthorgraph. Generaly, I wouldn't put caps during the beginning of the sentecnce, shorten words, and so on, but if you guys want to explain grammar, at least spell your words properly. I amm just doing this to show how easy it is to write correctly. I declare only the comments of Richard Sharpe, [20], and BostonPhoenix on grammar are valid.

And Moros (sorry).

Can't tell if Mylor is trolling or serious...

Either way, the point is not that perfect grammar and spelling must be used. It is merely that some level of effort is merited when posting on the forums. If you are too lazy to bother forming your words into coherent thoughts and making them easily read by others don't expect to be taken seriously. It's really as simple as that.

"I declare only the comments of Richard Sharpe, [20], and BostonPhoenix on grammar are valid."

anyone who writes a sentence like that has no business making declarations in a discussion about grammar. you also made a few obvious typos which you would have easily spotted by glancing over your comment before posting.

if someone doesn't bother to read their own comment before posting it, neither will i.

I have fixed your grammar and spelling errors for you Mylor, 17 in total. Please do not create a paragraph about the proper way to write in the English language, and then promptly butcher it. Not only does it make you seem unintelligent, but it's also an embarrassment to native English speakers everywhere. Thank you.

It is weird that all of these people are arguing about grammar, yet none of these people can write a paragraph without making a mistake in grammar or orthorgraph. Generally, I wouldn't bother putting capital letters during the beginning of a sentence, nor would I bother typing words out in full, but if you guys want to explain grammar, at least spell your words properly. I am doing this just to show how easy it is to write correctly. I declare only the comments of Richard Sharpe, [20], and BostonPhoenix on grammar are valid.

Sorry for the double post, X sniped me.

Technically X that sentence, as weird as it sounds, is correct.

This is Pretty funny i never realized how many people really waste their life correcting spelling on warlight. does anyone else think its nerdy or am i alone :(

P.S. please dont correct me on my misuse of the colon and bracket

Quick Learner, that is actually a parenthesis there.

Mate.

You started this thread as an attack on me.

You made yourself look like a fool.

There's a saying. When you've dug yourself a hole and you're in it, put down the shovel. I think it's time to put down the shovel.

I like the fact you sidestepped the realization of your alt.

It's not nerdy to care about grammar. The only way we, in an online community, have to communicate is through writing. If you write in a way that takes immense effort to understand, a lot of people are not going to bother to understand it. Even more people will assume that what you write is neither important nor intelligent despite how brilliant it may or may not be. You'll lose credibility and if you eventually make an effort to put on tournaments or create cool things in the community, you'll find not many people are interested in what you're doing. You may feel marganalized, singled out and ignored as a result.

You don't have to care about grammar if you don't want, but you will have to deal with the consequences.

"I declare only the comments of Richard Sharpe, [20], and BostonPhoenix on grammar are valid."

It should read "to be" instead of "are", or it should say "I declare that only [...]". I also think that "on grammar" is superfluous. Vapor, "caps" is perfectly cromulent and a common abbreviation, and you correct the phrase "you guys" in the first sentence, but leave the same phrase intact later on. I don't think "you guys" is gramatically incorrect.

You also change "I wouldn't put" to "I wouldn't bother putting". I don't know why you think "I wouldn't put" lacks cromulence, and your correction changes the semantics of the phrase. I wouldn't put a cat in a microwave, and that means something different than "I wouldn't bother putting a cat in a microwave".

oh no i never started this as an attack you your the one trying to impune my honor by how i spell lol and just wondering if anyone else realizes thats probably the msot pathetic think you can do on a game like warlight and ive never side stepped it just saw nothing wrong with it. perhaps youd be a happir person if you read a dictionary and not the warlight forum?

this just epic still spelling corrections being made

russel thank you for the first tangent mature reply to thsi thread that was amazing. now i belive you are half right about that. now this is game where you have a time limit in most moves and while you coordinating with teamates i dont see the importance of spelling correctly as well as with the not so important posts made for recreation in the genral forum. for example someone saying that their clan is setting up a 3v3 with another clan could say just that their is no true reason for the capitol and period and i think its so hilariously funny for the people who wright a huge paragragh prosecuting you for having bad grammar and thats exactly what Boston Pheonix had done i recieved a 1v1 challenge with a huge pargraph trying to et back on me for many typos to a thread that didnt even pertain to him.

while yall are at it please correct my previous paragrapgh

5 cool points will be awarded to the player who can correct it in the best possible way

Russel, thank you for the first tangent mature reply to this thread, that was amazing.

Now I believe you are half right about that. Now this is a game where you have a time limit in most moves. And because you are coordinating with teammates I don't see the importance of spelling correctly as well as with the not so important posts made for recreation in the general forum.
For example: someone saying that their clan is setting up a 3v3 with another clan could mean simply that there is no true reason for the capital and period. I think it's so hilarious for the people who write a huge paragraph prosecuting you for having bad grammar, and thats exactly what Boston Pheonix has done. I recieved a 1v1 challenge with a huge pargraph trying to get back on me for the many typos to a thread that didnt even pertain to him.

Please note that I'm not a native speaker, so it may not be fluent, but at least the grammar and spelling are (mostly) correct.

Moros, looks good except for the punctuation; You are missing some commas and semicolons. :)

In Dutch you never place a comma before 'and', is that different in English?
If yes: woohoo! I've just learned something new about the English language, now people will understand me better!
