I don't know about everyone else, but the English classes in my high school pounded into our heads the basic rules of basic English comprehension, crap we learned in elementary school, but I shouldn't be too surprised, since half the class couldn't pass the they're/there/their test.(02-19-2014, 05:26 AM)theKicking Wrote: Lawl, BG, you have a support group now.
I feel the same way, but about mpreg fiction. Sometimes I just want to go around and edit everything... But I resist. It's hard -.-
Oh gosh, its almost worse with fanfiction!
I beta-read for many years, and proofread even for a local paper.
;3; Do some people just not know how to write intelligent sentances or words over two syllables long (if that)?
Glad to see I'm not alone in the "Grammatically Sensitive" group xD
On the internet, I'm pretty lax with how I type, using chat speak with friends, abbreviations, etc., but I see role playing as a writing exercise, as well as writing fics. If you're too lazy to use spell-check, or to realize that "I can here you over their" is the wrong usage, you can guarantee I won't RP with you. Sorry to be a snob.
People who have English as their second, third, fourth language, I can excuse, you're still learning, even though I know someone from Russia and someone from Sweden with better English comprehension than most of my American RP partners.
