Hey I'd just like to say that is kind of makes me mad when people make fun of other people or get mad at them because they use bad grammar. Like honestly, an example would be like with gomes97. He's dyslexic and it really pisses me off when I see posts picking on him because they couldn't understand what he was saying. I feel really bad for him. Honestly guys, you really shouldn't pick on people for that. It's not like they aren't trying, you're just making them feel worse. If you just use some common sense you could (most of the time) EASILY figure out what they are trying to say. So please, just back off if you are doing this, it's really kind of mean.
I agree with this, it's an issue that reeeally ticks me off.. but I can't help but snicker at your signature.
I remember when the teachers at my schools thought I was "gifted"... it turns out that im a savant though...
But i aggree with you. For years, people laughed at me because I thought differently, and expressed a different writting style. One of my teachers even tried to fail me, because I was "different" than the rest of the class...
100% support. Gomes is actually a really cool dude once you get to know him. 8)
He always tries his best so that's one of the best qualities of him. :)

Dang, sorry about that. Teachers shouldn't even be allowed to do that...

I know! I really like him!
Umm, maybe you wanna take a look at your signature sometime. ;)

Read my above post haha.
The people that get on him about it probably aren't aware of his problem. Some of them probably assume he's a little kid that can't type with correct sentence structure and grammar. I can't tell you for sure that's what happens, but it's my best guess. I'm almost positive everyone here means no harm by it when they bring it up. I don't feel it's right though to be talking about him like this, even though we're defending him. If it were me I would just want the issue to be left alone. I give him my respect though.

I know you mean me with the first part but, they will never learn it if you don't correct them. That's what I usually do, well.. without hating than. Also my english grammar isn't the best. That's why I asked people to correct me when I'm wrong. I'm fine with that because in that way I'm still learning. :)

I've never seen you do it? :o
Indeed so I've actually communicated with him more often then some people, I did understand most of them and we just kept on talking. He is an amazing person that deserves to be treated with some respect.

Haha I don't think that link works for anyone but you.
You know what, I haven't been around the site for long, But i seem to have noticed that there really isn't too many people who are terrible at grammar and what not. And if they are they try there best to get there message across. Whether it be using a translator or just have a go by them self. Because i can assure you it wouldn't be easy to do.
I do understand what you're saying though, A person with bad Grammar isn't something worth being mad over.
Yeh im sorry if i have picked you up Gomes, like asking to use translator..
This is what i've been saying for the last months, it isn't fun to have someone picking on you if you are bad at a language.
101% support.
Even if they speak a different language and happen to post in that language just copy and paste it into a translator...
Most translators fail but it will be more readable. :P
I know that whenever I see someone who either doesn't take the time to use the proper grammar, or has a hard time doing so, I try my best to make out what they are saying and try to help them as best as I can. Me not being very old myself hate it when people accuse others of being "little kids" and not knowing how to type.. Heck, sometimes I have some trouble as well, and I completely agree with the statement.
If I can't understand what someone says, I stop reading the topic. There's your solution.

And then some people like to make fun of the person. :-X
Don't Abuse Players with Bad Grammar
That is all ::)
I completly agree with this, but you have to admit. Sometimes, the person doesn't even try and it seems like they are doing it on purpose just to get me mad.

Francis has a point Here
There's a difference between people with bad grammar and people who intentionally typ lyk dis.
Obviously. =P
I never use correct grammar when I'm tired.
