WhyDoesThisForumHateGrammar? Serious question.

[Never 237]

Can we have our spaces and that back please?

Seriously, theres so many posts that are a wall of text on here, and about 90% of the time any post i make i have to edit to restore spacing etc to make it readable.

Its bloody annoying and the worst thing is a lot of peoples posts just become a TL;DR even though they did punctuate it, but then the forum squeezes it together.

Could a mod please fix this?

Edit: To make this clear for some of you, I'm not complaining about the forum members, its the forum settings/layout thats annoying.

Is this a serious thread? I can't tell.

There is many options that you can pick from to make the text not crunched together you know, I would also like to add, that if you make a TL;DR post just don't get right to the point.

I see what you mean, but like the first guy said.. It's just the internet. You have to adapt. But I can agree, some people have some pretty bad grammar. Especially on some YouTube comments.

Language and grammar change. It is a variation of the standard; a pidgin or dialect. Poor grammar? Yes it is if you compare it to standard English. Not very hard to understand in my opinion.

Did I just step into the wayback machine and stumble into 1996?

People don't use grammar and punctuation on the internet; we stopped arguing about it a long time ago.

Besides, people who don't understand the function of grammar and punctuation in cogent communication probably aren't communicating cogently in the first place. Properly parsing their verbal diarrhea isn't going to make it any more palatable.

English isn't everyone's first language.

Edit: My prior statement is now null and void ... oh wait ... no its not.

Its more the combination of colours for text/background plus lack of capitalisation etc. Then combined with the forums random text squeeze it makes it a pain to read.

A lot of people seem to have mised my point here.

I'm not dissing the forum members, I'm dissing the forum itself.

It likes to remove spaces from posts thus turning them into a wall of text.

Edited OP to make this more clear.

This kid should never have anything to say about a thread that has to do with grammar. lol

I just have a problem with a black background and dark/gray lettering.

Like bro, my eyes hurt after extended periods.

Not only did OP post a wall of text it was also tl;dr.

English isn't everyone's first language.

Sometimes non-native speakers are actually better at writing English than some native speakers. But not always. Just sayin' ^_^
