How is that an example of anything? I didn't read that line because I didn't get that far. I loathe PvP and, as soon as I saw that was the subject, I skipped the rest of the post and the thread. |
Why is this even getting turned into an arguement? Ok I used persay instead of per se. Geesh please got off my tits about it. What more do you want? You win? There you have it. Not even worth argueing over really.
*guess I'm have to put my *disclaimer* one evry single thread and post that I do.*

Nope wasnt itching for an arguement but seemed you are itching for one. I dont go looking for trouble but realized in the past that even when I run from it, it wont cease until it is confronted.

And it's spelled 'argument'

If the worst trouble you have to deal with is someone pointing out 'per say' is written 'per se', then you probably should consider yourself lucky

But either way, I'm going as buisness as usual like I always had. I rather this game go down and never come back instead of being a dictator ship of people telling you how to think what to say what to do how to feel and etc. Like some people try to make it into. And only picking certain people to point out their mistakes and ignore their "friend's" mistakes. I'm not going to let those people ruin my fun in this game and not goign to tell me how to feel, and mistakes and all I'm going to express myself until it goes under water. I hope who ever buys this game, if they buy this game, know exactly what kind of community they are getting. One that dont believe in free speech and rather point out minor mistake like persay instead of per se for only people they feel like starting trouble with and know that it will run out any new people that will try to come and get it at this rate. If this crap dont change then, even if the miracle happens, it would be nothing but a mere delay of the ineveitable as trying to get everyone to think the same usally always fail in the end. If people focus more on mere mistakes than substance then many people will stop contributing anythign useful. Why? what's the point? They are going to find something anyways as they always have.
I am determined to stay here until nov 30th and be on until the end regardless of the community and their judgemental, error correcting when they make mistakes too, intolerant of any ideas that is different from their view ways.
But luckily, I have found a more suitable community for me so no biggy. CO people on the forums are a little bit more friendly and seem to get the concept that people make grammar mistakes and dont need to always point it out.
Just as someone mentioned that we all are going to die but no need to point it out. We all make mistakes, no need to point them out. But here, enough of going by rules that suppose to apply to me but everyone flout them rules same rules they want me to abide by. Be respectful, be polite, yet they dont do that and everyone else remain silent about it. Go figure but when I address them oh all of a sudden people come out the woodworks.

And people called me paranoid! So you don't think you're overreacting at all? You don't think wanting the game to die because someone corrected an error in your post is a bit extreme?

Way back in the dark ages of the Internet, I was on a service called the Imagination Network (INN for those in the know). One of the groups I was a part of on INN was called The Trivia Group (or TTG). We had a standing rule. Speeling don't kownt. Mainly that was because you had 20 seconds to come up with an answer to a question over a 14.4k modem. Which, roughly relates to about 5 second to answer the question before time ran out. I actually started out on a 1200 baud modem. So, I was at a disadvantage there.
This is why I rarely will ever correct someone's spelling online. No matter how much it really irks me when they use 1337 or what not.
Now, you can get back to you regularly scheduled raging over grammar.

Or, as they say where I came from.
I don't care whar youse frum, That thar is Hi-lair-ee-us.

There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"
Language is a tool. It needs to be used correctly to be most effective. Imagine someone writing a heartfelt appeal to the CEO of NCSoft with various errors and misuse of words. It loses impact.

yea but this isnt one of those letters. This is mere forum where there is no prize for right nor lack of for wrong.
|
I cant make a post without something or someone either correcting some mistake, when they make no attempt as correcting any other mistake on the thread, saying this is stupid, that is stupid. and etc.

I'd say put more effort into your grammar & spelling. It really isn't hard at all (get a web browser with spellcheck! It's not fool proof, but it certainly does help). It makes your posts far more readable and more persuasive. I'm not one that corrects people at all often (except as a joke, and even that's rare), but if I see a post with muddled grammar and confusing spelling, I'll end up skimming it... and if it's bad enough, I'll simply not read it. If the author doesn't think their words are worth the effort, why should I?

Or maybe it's that each grammar/spelling mistake someone makes has a relatively small chance to elicit a correction... and since you don't care about making spelling/grammar mistakes, you end up making many, many more, which results in you being corrected more than other people (even though everyone is corrected at the same rate based on their errors).

not yelling at you, Lucky666. I think I just had it taking this **** all of the time day and day out trying to be nice, trying to let it go, but no they wont stop. But anyways only have to put up with it for not much of a long time. Then that's it. I still wont let them ruin my day. no. They try all the tactics they want I'm going to be here until the 30th to see the game off. At first, for the community and maybe say goodbye but now it's purely for me. as it's obvious they dont give a crap about me so why give a crap about them. I put in so much effort to save the game, even convinced husband, who despises games, to put a large sum of money away just in case that what it takes. But screw that, what the hell am I saving? So people can continue to focus only on my mistakes? What sane person would do that? Not me, that money is goign to better use now. I'll just sit back and watch the game burn and watch the fireworks come NOV 30th. Where ever people like that go after that, I hope they can somehow rebuild COX or some semblence at least that means they aint on other games ruining the community.

Uhm I put effort into it. Like I said. even with posts that dont have mistakes, they find something else. SO what is the point of trying to please these people that can never be pleased? NOW dont care about it. I'm doing worrying looking for mistakes. We all make them and if they want to act like they dont then they can act like that but we all know everyone makes mistakes. And many people make more mistakes than me. Way more. And yet, people can ignore them, but cant even mispell something as simple as per se without some grammar nazi coming along. I'm dont talking about it. I tried to bend backwards for that spelling stuff, I even used word to check mistakes but if it's one thing after another after another they continue to find, why should I put in this effort for anything if they can even show me a little common decency of fairness? Why should I show any decency at all if they cannot show me any? So now I'm at that point that I'm saying spelling mistakes and all, cant read it tough. My patience has worn out in that regards. I spell check and have to proof read official papers at work 40 hours a week, day in day out to make sure that the legal stuff and papers to higher up look as official as possible. I get paid for that. That is WORK. Here is not work, but some certain people seem be trying to make it seem as much like work as possible and guess what, they aint paying crap not even a little fairness. So you know what? I quit. I'm not letting anyone make this feel like work. I'm going write how I want make mistakes and leave them be, and format the way I see fit. If they make a deal out of it since they cant even over look "persay" and have to make a big deal out of nothing, then fine then, I'ma stoop to their low level and make a big deal about it. But I'ma not eyt goign to stoop so low that I'ma goign to go around looking only mistakes in their post like mine and ignore what they are writing. Cant yet bring myself to that low of a standard where I get my jollies, like some here, going around correcting only one person mistakes and dismisses everyone elses and to add salt to the situation. Expect me to sit there and take it. Hell no! And not all of my posts have mistakes in them, but always put more effort into it put more effort into put more effort into when people find one mistake. Why not go tell that to everyone else that make mistakes. Last I checked this was CITY OF HEROES. NOT FREAKING ENGLISH CLASS WHERE PEOPLE THAT ARE PURE HYPOCRITE LIKE THEY NEVER MADE AND GRAMMAR MISTAKES IN THIER MISABLE LIVES HAVE THE RIGHT TO JUDGE ME JUST BECASUE I MISPELL THINGS. ESPECIALLY SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AND LITTLE ASK PER FREAKING SE! GOD DAMN! I SWEAR all of this over per se. I SAID I FREAKING SAW THE MISTAKE! IF YOU CANT BOTHER TO CORRECT OTHER PEOPLE, DONT GO OUT OF YOUR GOD DAMNED WAY TO CORRECT ME AND THINK I'll be OK WITH IT.

It's not that hard to spell right and have good grammar. Also it's "semblance", and you misspelled "misspell".

You can take it or leave it. With the rule that is not being applied to most people, I choose to leave it as it's ********.

And I dont see him within an hour tripping over himself trying to correct her, actually he didnt bother to correct her at all. In fact no one did. Yet, it's a capital offense if I misuse it.
