Second that. Also, this topic is pointless really. No one truly cares for grammar on a forum (exept you and maybe some other people) but for stories, books, and homework, That would be a different story. Oh, and if i missed something that too.

It depends how bad the grammar is. If someone really types like Drace did, well, I would care a bit.

I am serious.

I would say that grammar and such would be important if, say, a person was posting the story to their game or something like that, because that would also make it easier to read, more people would probably read it, and would ultimately get more feedback from the surrounding environment.

And in that case, Darkflood missed an important lesson.

[/LESSON]
Chapter 5: Paragraphs and Line Breaks
Paragraphs can be a good way to give your post a bit of 'flow'.  Using paragraphs and line breaks can give your reader a bit of time to stop, reflect on what they read, or just rest their eyes for a second so they don't go insane from reading such a long-*** paragraph.

Also, line breaks should be used when simulating a conversation. For example:
-----
Emerates: Darkflood, this thread isn't gonna help much of anyone.
Tomi: Yeah.  Everyone who needs to read it....  won't.
Bluhman: Emerates: Jane.
------

....And so, people are able to read without their eyes falling out of their sockets.

Well you still woulld be able to understand it. Though, if they always use u instead of you or 4 instead of  for in everytime in their game summary. Or anything else like that. Then, i think most people would care.  Psoting a thread on it would be pointless because like Tomi said no one would read it.

Proper use of grammar implies, in general, how mature the poster is. I can understand an error once in a while, but speak that is akin to what MMOG players or the average AOLer say is just stupid, especially on a forum, where you can spell check your posts and the like. In general it's a horrible first impression if you have bad spelling. The only exception I allow is in times of sarcasm, but that's only mocking the stupidity of low quality posts in the first place.

Besides, it's fun being a grammar nazi. :p
