No, grammer does not matter... So long as its understandable. If your grammer is so bad people have no idea what your saying then it matters.

For most people however, no, it wouldn't make a difference if one used a complete sentence or commas, etc.

Some grammer = good
Perfect grammer = too much time on your hands
No grammer =

wtf did you just say?

How can people be giving you negative reps.... I mean, I haven't even noticed you before, lol.

Hero2 · 08-20-2003, 12:46 AM

i have a question about rep. Whenever some one gives me rep, negitive or positive, it goes up and down more then just one point. Is that normal or is my stuff just screwed up.
the only reson im posting this here is because Ive only really noticed it from theese posts.

Shut up.

bobcat · 08-20-2003, 06:18 AM

I don't think that incorrect grammar is to blame. It's people who have so much time on their hands that come up with topics like these.

he may be dislexic or he may not be, but is that any reason for us to make fun of him?... maybe it is, but the again if ya do your screwed up

You scoring 100/100 on your English college entrance exam is meaningless if you don't put it to good use. And Null is right; as long as people can understand what you are trying to say no one cares if you forget a period or whatever. But many times I find myself having to re-read your posts to even understand what you are trying to say.

We're not making fun of him. We're trying to help him by saying we can't understand him and he needs to work on his punctuation and stuff.

There's a big difference.

I laugh my ass off at those who claim "perfect grammar" is a waste of time. Or how even posting a thread like this is very elitist and therefor a waste of time. Y'know, that's just a feeble excuse to not "waste your time" upon getting an education. No, I'm not "wasting my time" when I write this post, I don't have to slow down to check my grammar. If there's a mistake in here, it's a typo... I don't copy/paste it into word to check it, nor do I go over it carefully... or even think when I write. It is natural.

I tell you, if you're worrying about wasting your time, you shouldn't be at a forum discussing video games and grammar

Null · 08-20-2003, 08:44 PM

bro, you just said you don't think perfect grammer is a waste of time. Then you go on to say if you make a typo you dont care and you dont spell check and go over it carefully.

Arent you contradicting yourself there?

What exactly ARE you trying to say? Sounds like your saying you dont waste your time copy/pasting into word to spell check, and dont waste time reading it carefully. But you said that stuff is not waste of time.

???

That stuff is a waste of time, having perfect grammar is not. What I am saying is... that there are those (like me, har har... har) that can have perfect grammar without wasting time.
