ATTENTION: New order issued from the boss (Igor) re: grammar

There will now be very little poor grammar tolerance.

Consider yourselves warned.

Carry on

I can second it. I for one am tired of the horrible grammar, and always have been. It seems to be one pretty bad in this forum.

so what is the real meaning of the message?

wow. even though i agree that people SHOULD be able to use grammatically correct english, this is the a message board not an english class. will we have to write complete sentencee too?

most people are understandable, and others fall in line with time anways.

I think spelling shouldn't count, because some people can't spell everything right, but its readable nonetheless. Also, this might interest you:

It's just people who go 'c u l8r m8' that should be banned IMO.

When people get to free with it, it screws it up for everyone oh well. As I say, this is a message board not a chatroom.

Ok ill have to stop my speaking style then but is the occasional bout or goin allowed

Is he going to update the user guidelines and include bad grammar into the unacceptable AF practices?

As a matter of fact we are in the proccess of creating new guidelines as we speak.

I might have to go back to grammar school if I want to keep posting. I almost have a degree, and my grammar stinks like fish.

hey ross, that spelling thing is cool althought after i read it I couldnt spell anything right.

It sounds a lot worse than it is...

Jus dnt go spllin lik dis, peepel dat spel lik dis wil b band.

So, no more wit, no more da, no more dat. Just the people that are really bad about it, I can name a few just off the top of my head.

Its not gonna be a terribly strict rule, but if you have to read a post more than once to figure out what it says, its unacceptable.

this is ghey...

Excuse my french guys but this is some gay sh*t.

Not the spelling, the 'c u l8r' type stuff, plus im sure most forein (spelling?) people will know about full stops and whatnot.

Alright, Im not gonna sit here and dissect what is acceptable or not. Frankly, all this "what if" bullshit is getting on my nerves. The moderators will deem what is acceptable, period.

End of discussion.
