Punctuation.

It's a great thing, use it.

I am sure all of you attended at least elementary school, you all know how to talk like a normal human being. Reading half the posts on here just make me want to bash my head into a wall. I can't believe some of you can even put together sentences by yourself, it amazes me.

Rant over.

 

Funny...I had people rip on my ass for telling other people to use proper punctuation, grammar, spelling and syntax.

And yet more and more people are complaining of this very same thing.

Hopefully people will get the fucking clue and start at the very least having the appearance of graduating elementary.

 

" I can't believe some of you can even put together sentences by yourself, it amazes me."

On the subject of the mangled use of punctuation, you have employed an incorrect use of a comma in the sentence above.

It should be:

"I can't believe some of you can even put together sentences by yourself.[Period. Full Stop] It amazes me."

You also should drop the 'can' and the 'it' in this string of ideas and replace it with:

"I can't believe some of you are even able to put together sentences by yourself.[Period. Full Stop]. The incorrect use of puntctiaion that is displayed by many members amazes me."

The use of 'can' in this context and sentence is gramatically incorrect, not to mention akward and improper.

'It' is a dangling proposition. What is 'it'? The people or the improper use of grammar and punctuation?

 

Oh snap! I found the grammar police thread!

​

 

get over yourself.,/!@#$%^

 

I was wondering when someone would pick his incorrect or fragmented sentence apart.
All in good fun.

 

Sentence fragments are one of the most common errors found on the internet.

 

Jeez get over this crap, it's the interwebz. You making a thread about it is as lame as the Koni movement haha.

 

Chicago Manual of Style FTMFW!

 

*Vague pronoun reference.

Dangling (or misplaced) modifier:
Hanging on the wall, John admired the painting.

 

I agree, but I would have simply used a semicolon.

I don't mind when someone can't use a comma correctly, but the misuse of homophones troubles me.

 

It does seem a bit odd someone would make a post about the use of grammar. I was just fun'n (not a real word.)

The reason for the existence of any language is to communicate thoughts and ideas. The language of the internet has evolved its own vernacular and structure.

OMG. LOL. BBL. . WTF?

Especially with the advent of portable devices and phones, people have had to work out a system to communicate their thoughts and ideas efficiently and quickly, with minimal keystrokes. This means that the improper use of grammar and punctuation, judged by the accumulated traditional standards of the past, is something to be expected. As long as the ideas are clear and the average reader can make sense of them, that is all that matters.

So, people should probably lighten up over this issue.

 

Yes, but all that aside, some people host literally unreadable stream-of-conscience posts here that are neither clear nor efficient in conveying their thoughts.

And when it comes to technical probelms, precision is important.

The rest of it is just a way of having fun with others who we know are literate but are just derping around and not being serious.

 

Miss Magillacutty ??

 

When I posted this I was talking about the sentences that are almost impossible to read. When I read half the posts on here I feel like a a four year old wrote them.

 

Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse.
