After a lot of talk and complaints I've been seeing, I believe we should instill a minimum level of quality regarding spelling and grammar. The most of us do use proper language on this forum, so I'm not going to say we're a cesspit of poor posts. However, there's a problem when understanding what someone has written is near impossible. I acknowledge typos occur. I'm certainly not suggesting we be Grammar Nazis either. But I and a few others are tired of seeing worthless, incomprehensible posts.
So please take the time to check your spelling and grammar before you post. Warnings may start going out to those who repeatedly offend spelling and grammar without any effort to improve. If your post looks like garbage, reads like garbage, then it will be treated as garbage. Questions? Comments? I believe this action to be reasonable. |

I have to agree with "Haha" seeming to have a negative connotation. I'm not sure why that is exactly, but to me it's always felt insulting. "Heh" is significantly worse.
I believe the occasional acronyms such as OMG and LOL are acceptable to an extent. I admit to using omg now and then, though I've switched lol for (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) or DX depending on whom my conversation is with. Commas are tricky. Even taking a Writing course I was basically told commas can be used as the writer feels. Obviously, there are some cases where commas are necessary, but this isn't always the case. Sometimes the placement of commas will change the meaning of sentences though D: |
