People think its normal to chat in txt tlk.
It gets annoying and illegible sometimes.

True, but arguably there's a difference between txt tlk and perfect grammer.Zimmer wrote:

I agree and thats why I tend to stay out of DSTLaidBackNinja wrote:
I just can't take someone seriously if they don't take the time and effort to properly type out their argument.
I use its as the possesive (ie without the apostrophe at the end) and am pretty sure it's acceptable.
Most posts here at BF2s on the entire World Wide Web are comprehensible. Besides, this is the Internet, we come here to have fun, and I believe we can be a little loose in grammar. I of course try to keep my posts proper, it might improve my grammar.

like that university with all the letters in the words mixed up, most people could understand what it said.
Imo things like imo/omg/gtfo/lol/lmao etc are acceptable but not in excessive use.
As someone else posted most english users learn these at primary school.
I also agree with Freezer most non-English users do a good job at speaking english, I know i couldnt type that fluent in their language.
The fact is if you want to be a grammar nazi be an English teacher, plain and simple.

I'm always amazed at how many people (especially native English speakers) are unable to master basic grammar...
Its a case of whether we can be bothered to use it on a video game forum where we're not bein graded on it.S.Lythberg wrote:

It can be correct to say "Those guy's jackets are cool." If you are refering to several jackets designed to be worn by guys.Dersmikner wrote:
Plural possessives require an apostrophe AFTER the "s".
Correct: "Those guys' jackets are cool."
Incorrect: "Those guy's jackets are cool."
Incorrect: "Those guys jackets are cool."
You put an apostrophe after the its which should not have been there.Dersmikner wrote:
"its'"" Possessive of "it". EX: "Because I had a wreck and had to replace it, that is its' second bumper."
There's a phrase about logs and specks of dust which escapes me, but would be truly apt here!

You missed 'we're' from the 'Where, were and wear' section.
I absolutely agree with the OP! Grammatical errors drive me nuts, you should try reading some of the comments on YouTube! Especially when the are from people trying to put across an opinion, I lose respect for the poster almost immediately.
However allowances must be made for people that do not speak English as their first language.

Honestly, I don't mind if people spelling some shit wrong...but if you're 15 and still saying "your wrong", you need to gb2/school/ as they'd say it.
I remember someone on Myspace from my school (the biggest slut in our grade as well) posted a survey she filled out, and one of her answers was "i wanna go 2 colage".

nope. I'll admit my grammar sucks, does that make me unintelligent, no. It means I suck at English (even thought it's my only language) and can be lazy.jord wrote:

I think all of those mistakes are not that big a deal at all. EVERYONE makes them time to time.
Punctuation markes aren't that important IMO. Plus, typos hapen.
But your post makes sense. Hear,here,your you're, thier there they're, etc. people should know better. Also, all of it is VERY VERY VERY important if you intend to flame someone or call someone an idiot.
"your an idiot" Is just awesome. There is no better way to invalidate that statement and make the poster look like the idiot.

And if you really wish to write in an educated style you leave out the apostrophes at you're etc and write the full word out, you are.
