there was little we could say, and even less we could do, as the ice kept getting thinner under me and you

Couldn't
On topic: I agree with the idea, an example is above of a person trying to correct others for making a simple mistake. How pointless.I don't accept pm's, instead leave a message on my profile aka vistor message thing.
Rep means nothing to me, thats why I even say I dislike +reps.

I have to say that the 'grammar' police do annoy me. Lots of different people from lots of different countries use this forum and English may not be their first language. Also some people's english is not as good as others or they could be dyslexic? Personally I think it is either a symptom of a compulsive
obsessive disorder to want everybody to have a high standard of grammar or
its a cheap jibe when somebody wants to insult another but can't think what to say.
As people before have said though - rules about insulting others cover it,
although the consequences of embarrassing members on the forum could be looked into.
Good thread Titch - highlights something that can be thought about.Last edited by Catzsy; 30-05-2008 at 12:58 PM.

No, not really. It is annoying when people just start arguments over grammar, it doesn't prove your better, but wen derz sum1 that tokz lyk dis nd u cnt undrstand them, which I do
then I think it's okay to tell them to write it in English if you can't understand it..

I agree, but i think people should make an effort, whether it's their first language or not. ppl tlking lyk dis rly annoys me on a forrum. However, when instant messaging someone in a converssation it's fine as you may want to get your message across quickly. Originally Posted by Catzsy

I voted not sure,
As i think maybe it should be implemeted into the "bullying rules"
But if someone is just pointing out things like
"You spelt because wrong"
That, Is fine.
But if someone says
"You have the grammer of a 3 year old"
That is bullying, in a way

i just think text speak should be banned from the forum
it is un-needed. i know of no character limit on one post, so its not like you have to condense what you are saying, and it just looks stupid. and for those of us who do have more than 10 brain cells, it can be hard to understand. i know i have some problems when it comes to deciphering it
