I believe that, at this point in time, it is neccesary of me to condemn the terrible use of the English language that takes place within these forums. The most obvious of grammatical errors seem to go completely unrecognized by their authors. For example:

"Hello, how are u?"

This is laughably incorrect. It's hardly possible to understand what the author is trying to say. Me and my friends laugh at this sort of thing. They're awful disregard for the English language makes me sick.

So please, everyone; it doesn't matter if your post is understandable. If it has bad grammar, its not acceptable on these forums.

Eggy, I would have expected YOU of all people to get it. Goodness... what is this world coming to?

And Misnomer, you would be on my "get it" list, too. BTW, been a while. Nice to see you again.

EDIT: Never mind, Eggy gets it.

In my experience, Darwin:

Hello, how are u?

is a little-seen or rare occurrence. I'm much more accustomed to the following anti-gems:

hello how r u
hi ho ru

Disclaimer: I will talk like this myself for fun. But, I know when I have to have "right grammer", I can get it good.

And now, a brief public service announcement.

Your: A posessive, as in your hat.
You're: Verbal contraction of the words you are, as in "You're fired."

Now, we rejoin our rant in progress.

Tee hee... ignore everything, Juauni. See, I thought that every post I saw by you had a personal attack in it.. and since I'm to silly to read the time...
