Hello there, I am Shadow_666, or known as Matthew Vinson to my friends. You however, may call me Mr. Vinson. These are my associates, Mr. Emblem and Mr. Prophet.
Shadow: Ok punks, listen up. You're here for one simple reason. You suck at typing and rping.
Tassador: Shadow, shut up. What Mr. Emblem is trying to say is, you may have good rping ideas in your head, but when it comes to typing them out, you just...sorta freeze up, correct? You tend to spell things wrong, not use correct grammer, and other such mistakes.
We are here to help you in these areas. Now, you're probably thinking that we want you to be spelling whizzes and grammer genius'. Well, we don't. We simply want to help you become more literate, for the sake of those around you. Everyone makes mistakes now and then, but you probably make them a whole lot....
Tassador: Now then, we shall begin. If you have any questions during the lesson, or about a previous lesson, or anything else, please simply post below. Make sure to use the lessons we teach you.
Shadow: Or else. Now then! Lesson One maggots! Listen up and listen good!
Lesson One: n0 ch47 5p34k
This is crucial in becoming literate. You cannot use any numbers or "sentance shorteners" in your posts. When you are in OOC (Out of Character) it is fine to use that, but I am fairly certain your character does not say "L why k three" as opposed to "like"
Now then, lets practice some correct sentances
Repeat after me on your post below, or just read if you don't want to show the world you are illiterate.
Chatspeak form: 1 w3n7 70 g0 g37 50m3 1c3 cr34m.
Correct form: I went to go get some ice cream.
Excellent!
Tassador: Good, your getting the hang on it. Lets try another!
Chatspeak form: I lyk3 to g3t funky w17h 17, lol.
Correct form: I like to get funky with it.
Shadow: ....Do you now Tassador? I never knew!
Ok maggots, in addition to not using numbers, do not use any form of "non number chat speak" or as Matt called them above, "sentance-shorteners."
Which means no lol, g2g, ttly, ttyl, brb, afk, or jk can be used in your rping. Once again, you may use them in OOC, but would your character really say "L O L?"
I didn't think so.
Now then, most of you complete retards are probably saying "But Mr. Shadow! How d0....do I express the joy of laughter in my posts?"
Well little retarded timmy, you can simply say "Joe laughed."
Chatspeak form: OMG NO WAI.
Correct form: Oh my God, no way.
Chatspeak form: O rly? Ya rly!
Correct form: Oh, really? Ya! Really!
Thats the end of lesson number one, if you have any questions, feel free to post them, or pm us. Until tommorrow....or whenever I feel the next lesson is due, see ya!
Tassador: Good day students!
Shadow: Bye!..................are we done yet? Thank God! Lets go get something to drink, I need to get hammered, and fast!
Tassador: Shadow! The students are still watching!
Shadow: Eh? Oh, right. LOOK! A BOOB! (Psst, they're nerds, they'll look)
*Scampers away*
Tassador: ....
Lets go.
Right.

Lesson Two:
Correct grammer
Tassador: Now then, for those of you who don't remember what grammer is, let me refresh you. Grammer is the art of capitolization, punctution, and other such things. Now then, you must know these to use them.
We'll start with the easiest.
Capitolization.
Here is how you do it
ALWAYS captitolize at the beginning of a sentance (which means after the period) or proper nouns, such as names, places, and other such things.
Like the name Shadow.
It is not shadow
It is Shadow, because Shadow is a person (somewhat) and needs to be captitolized.
Kracken, the name of a ship.
Maryland, the name of a state.
Hooters, the best restraunt ever.
Shadow: RIGHT ON TASSY!
Now then, apart from the capitolization, you idiots need to learn to use periods, commas, quotation marks, and other things properly.
The period is the easiest. It only comes after Mr., Ms. or Mrs., and also ALWAYS at the end of a sentance, unless you have a excelmation mark or a question mark instead.
Of course, a question mark (?) and a exclimation mark (!) are used in different ways.
The question mark is used to mark...can you guess it? A question!
An exclamation mark is used when your character is surprised or yelling.
such as
Tassador:
Tassador glared at him. "Do you have ANY idea what you were doing? You are a COMPLETE IDIOT!"
Did you get that now?
Good!
Now then, commas are used when a sentance needs to be joined with another, such as here and above. I think you should be able to figure this one out, just use it properly. Also, I'm not an English teacher....
Tassador: Now then, quotation marks are used when your character is speaking. Just as this
Shadow:
Shadow turned away from her. "Whatever..." Shadow spoke quietly, then walked away into the dark mist.
Got it, good.
Also, don't EVER use anything to mark actions. They come naturally, as above.
END OF LESSON TWO!
