I am a gamer...and yet I wonder if the games haven't screwed up some people's grammar skills.

I've seen worse. There could be a number of explanations.

English might not be their first language, or they may simply be bad typers.

The bad spelling was apologized for, I see.

SilverBellsAbove: Maybe because I happen to BE a girl?

Because people leetspeak or txt tlk? Leetspeaking would take too much effort to do it in a fast paced FPS.

Not entirely true. I played video games most of my life and I'm still intact on the grammar part. Besides, I always look up gaming magazines and never throw cash on terribly uninteresting games.

But SonarP does have a point there. I can't say the same for the masses. The games they typically play only amplifies their complete stupidity.

I see that now. I played Super Smash Bros. for the GameCube last night, (at the college I'm going to), and most spoke pretty decently. But most of the time, aren't some gamers either failing school or too lazy to try?
