I think a lot of folks resubbed before Aug 15th to be eligible for the Going Rouge closed beta. I know I did :P

Oh, and WB!

You might be redfaced after looking at the grammar in that post.

How is the grammer bad? I'm a grammer fiend (APA formatting and all that), but I didn't think it was that bad. I didn't spell "resubscribed" out, and I didn't put "Going Rouge" in italics....

Not asking sarcastically...

Connecting redfaced & Going Rouge is my guess.

WB Philly, though I kinda missed when you actually left.

Heck, I'll throw in a WB to Phantastik as well, though she had more of a stealth return! :P I noticed when Sirikit killed me outside the hospital in Siren's!

It's "grammAr."

And welcome back Philly!


I used to fiddle with my back feet music for a black onyx. My entire room absorbed every echo. The music was . . . thud like. The music was . . . thud like. I usually played such things as rough-neck and thug. Opaque melodies that would bug most people. Music from the other side of the fence.

First and foremost, WB Philly. If you need any help getting restarted after the fire sale you had when you left, let me know.

tl;dr for HellSimian

There are no grammatical errors in the post that matter in a game's forum. The most flagrant, strictly prescriptive error is "a lot," use of which is more an error of diction. In casual settings no properly trained editor or other grammarian would fault its use. Just as no properly trained editor or other grammarian would allow it to stand in academic or professional writing. I tend to view words like "unsubbed" as new coinages, and I've seen many instances of abbreviation-turned-word in casual, scholarly, and professional discussions: you should feel free to make up words, so long as the new words' meanings are fairly clear to your audience.

I'd argue that the name of the game, City of Heroes or City of Villains, would be italicized, since those are the names of the major work, and Going Rogue would simply be placed in quotation marks since it is more like hte title of a smaller part of the work: it's more like a chapter than it is like a book; more like an episode than like a series.

A closer look reveals a few more things that I'd not worry over in casual settings: "Aug 15th" should maybe have a period after the abbreviation; "Rouge" is actually Rogue, but my spelling and typing suck, too; "Oh, and WB!" this comma might not be necessary, but I generally have to look up comma issues to be sure. It may be separating an exclamation, "Oh," from the rest of the sentence; it's certainly not separating two independent clauses: "WB" could be thought of as an abbreviated independent clause since "welcome back" has the implied subject "you." Without looking it up, I'm inclined to keep the comma because the sentence looks a little hinkey without it (the smell test).

As for spelling grammar wrong...your awn you're oan.

*I didn't consulte CMoS, Bedford, or APA for this, but I can cite pages if it would help: I'm within arm's reach of Chicago, APA, and three grammar handbooks. None of the American grammar handbooks or style guides says anything substantially different about grammar, punctuation, or usage. The style guides--APA, Chicago Manual of Style, and MLA--differ primarily on issues of formatting and citaton. I've spent a good deal of time reading them, cross-referencing answers from them, and tutoring young accolytes in their arcane lore. It gives me little joy that this knowledge will likely haunt me forever.

When in doubt, you can contact http://www.uwf.edu/writelab/grammar/ and have someone whose job it is look it up for you.

I would like to post a sincere Thank you to the anonymous person who left this rep comment

Welcome Back Philly! 08-19-2009 02:24 PM waaah!!! crybaby <rolleyes>

It just makes my point and confirms my desire to remain off the boards.

Hopes that clears things up for you Enri and Wail, it's not just here either stuff said in global channels etc makes me want to steer clear of the coh forums in general.
