Re: Grammar Nazi's (Mostly Pirate)

There's a fine line between correcting someone and being a prick, everyone makes mistakes, everyone. It's a bare human trait. My English is not that great either, I make mistakes all the time, but I try and correct them, without spell check it's really difficult to make sure you're correct, I also have a really shitty keyboard, so that doesn't help me, I hit keys and it doesn't send the right keystrokes, or doubles on letters, sometimes I miss letters, and even words.
Spoken, and written English are almost completely different languages, in text you have to use more words to convey your message, but while you're speaking people can hear your tones to detect sarcasm and the likes, you can also hear emotion in peoples voices, and if you can see them, you can see the emotions and even use your body to tell part of the story. But, in text you can not do that, and you need to make sure you can write properly, and when typing it's different again, you could change fonts to convey different messages, but usually that never happens, in writing you can tell a lot from someone's handwriting, when you're typing you can't tell what they really mean so you're just guessing, and it's usually influenced by your own attitude at the time. If you're angry, you will read compliments usually as sarcasm, and take insults to heart.
While nothing I just said really helps your grammar, still a good message to adhere to.
Now, can everyone please stop posting, unless, you're Omega and you're posting up some text for proof reading / marking. Thank you.
Omega, can you do what I just asked, post about a couple paragraphs of your work and I will mark it for you. I won't be too strict on you, but I will be honest. If you don't want to post it publicly, you can always PM me.

Re: Grammar Nazi's (Mostly Pirate)
I'll reply tomorrow, sorry about that, got distracted today with shit. So I'll finish checking it out tomorrow, from what I have seen it's pretty well done, but I only skimmed over it. :)
