In case you need to pass for a NOOB for some reason -though I cannot think of a good one myself, you'll find this inmensely useful: Translator

Use it at your own risk! And beware! The extreme ||00BI5|-| translation is especially dangerous. gonk

The second set the built-in spell check on fire.

For those who need a translation:

Hello, I am PFC Collin Alexander Smith of the U.S. Army. My current job is to repair the armament and electrical systems of the AH-64A "Apache" Helicopter. I am also an Army Officer Cadet at The Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina where I am studying history and psychology. When I graduate I plan on getting my Pilot's certification and flying the very aircraft I help to maintain.

I have a question...

This is the Gaian Grammar Guild, correct?

Then why are people constantly bringing in tools to help commit these attrocities against the english language?

I was just wondering...

It starts out as this:

Quote:
Hello, my name is Yami no Hitokiri. As a Gaian, I believe in the user of proper grammar online most, if not all, times. With my partner DarkElf27, I have founded the Gaian Grammar Guild to gather like-minded Gaians unto myself. Together, we shall go forward with banners in our signatures and spread the gospel of good grammar.


It ends up as this:

For our own amusement.

Hello, my name is Demokritos from Gaia online. I haven't been here for very long, but I've done similar kinds of forums enough to know that the usage of proper grammar tends to make your points go through more clearly. Those who do 'text talk' are merely making it harder for those that have to read it.


It turned out like this.

Real saying:

Hello. I'm Laura from Ohio. I'm in 10th grade High School working my way up to be a Japanese Translator. If not, I want to be a novelist [author]. Otherwise, I'll stick with the U.S. Navy. Those who use N00bish language or so known as "txt tlk" will suffer the consequences once they write normally.

Good luck!

Hello, I am a 14 year-old computer geek. If I wanted to I could have this site shut down for cluttering the internet, instead I'm going to enjoy it and make use of it by telling people how annoying it is to read this! Also, I will tell people about this site, only to get the word out of how annoying this is!
That is not true!

hello, everyone! My name is Yoku and I am 18 years old. I haven't been in Gaia for very long and I am so cool that I feel the need to express my coolness by writing in this completely useless and retarded mode. It is also completely illegible to any normal, mature human being. Which is why I think it's so cool! By writing this way I will be able to attract other retarded and immature noobs just like me! Aren't I awesome?


I have to admit that it is rather frightening to see...I really don't know why I even did this...I'm such a masochist...
