Hello, all. My name is Nekodeamos, and I am euphoric beyond belief as a result of having been accepted into the Gaian Grammar Nazis. This guild gives a new purpose to my life. I cruise the Chatterbox and GD, but I don't post much. Thanks again for allowing me into the ranks.

Le gasp! You spelled Grammar wrong. Is this yet again another that has slipped through the grasp?


It's getting worse. gonk
Bye bye, Neko. 3nodding


Give me a break, please. I'm in grade ten, they rub off on me. I beg you all for forgiveness.

Dude, that's just not supposed to happen. Gracefallen stated clearly:

Gracefallen
All right kids, this is mommy Gracey with an announcement.

From now on, if you spell "grammar" as "grammer", you're being kicked out right away.


The end.


You could have edited the error when you posted, but you didn't, so I assume you were sure it was correct. Even the Guild's name has 'Grammar' in it.

If you would get 'a break', then it would show how uneffective the crew is in enforcing our rules, and it would be a disgrace to the Guild to have someone who spells our favourite word incorrectly.

Have fun while you can, since I don't think you'll be here long [though I may be wrong], and don't beg. It makes you look pathetic.

Uneffective? Uncorrectly? I always thought the prefix was 'in'... sweatdrop

I think she made a typo, which would explain it, since the "I" and "U" are so close together. Using "Grammer" and calling it a typo doesn't really work, though, unless your pinky had a spaz attack on you while you were trying to spell "Grammar".

Very well, I take my leave of you. If a tiny spelling mistake is all it takes to get totally attacked in here, I really don't think I'd like to be a part of you. Good day.

I thought that "tiny" spelling mistakes like that are one of those things we're trying to avoid. And the worst part is, you weren't exactly quick to correct yourself. In fact, you tried to defend yourself with really lame excuses. And then, you continue digging the hole even deeper by pouting. Yeah. It's kind of what happens in a group whose intent is to nitpick. It's what we do. 3nodding

Well, not everyone was made for flaming. However, you'd probably want to keep normal sentences in hand. I'm sure repeated "..." at the end of every sentence isn't really the best thing to do here, ja?

Despite the reputation we have, it's not about the flaming, it's about the grammar.
No, really.

I let you in because you didn't seem like some horrible idiot and your grammar is good, but, like Lilith, I ask of you to stop the abuse of ellipses, we have commas and simple punctuation marks for a reason.

Moreover, if you're going to use an ellipsis in your posts, please try and limit it to 1. If you end a sentence with an ellipsis, you must have 4 periods to designate proper punctuation. "Why" you ask? Well, the ellipsis is counted as a single punctuation itself and doesn't count as a period. It's more of a comma or semicolon, and its main purpose is only meant to designate a long pause.

(Green = proper use)

"I pulled the lever... but nothing happened."

"The rain will never stop...."
Take note of the forth period at the end.


"I saw her... she looked nice... I wish I had that kind of hair...."
Even though this is properly punctuated, it's still wrong. If you've had a tracheotomy in the past and talk in broken sentences through your voice box, that's your business and it's not your fault. However, don't bring the speech impediment to forum posts, it's just not necessary.

"That summer, my grandfather died..."
Close, but no dice. Notice the 3 periods at the end. They only count as the long pause, not the end of the sentence. Just remember that: Even though there are 3 periods, they still count for s**t when you want to end the sentence.
