And for the record. Since I had left the sentence exactly as you had wrote it. This is an example of bad grammar. This is not two separate sentences rather it is one complete thought that should be separated with a comma not a period. Furthermore this is an awkward sentence and the structure of the sentence does not provide the reader clear communication as to the writers thoughts. Your final grade is a D minus. People in glass houses shouldn't use red pens. How can Der Gamar Hamar show her face around here after posting that dribble?

i would like to welcome grammer hamma to the boards.
i would also thank Dragon (.... er ...i mean DRAGON) for bringing him to the site. but i also implore him this is primarally a gaming board please keep the majority of your posts on gaming topics, not on reposting other peoples messages.
which means your other ID better start discussing warhammer D&D, bloodbowl, flames of war or even egads lord of the rings.
To the rest of ya keep it friendly.
And we are straying from the topic of the terminators here.

Actually, no you are quite wrong. It is a phrase that was incorrectly, or poorly rather, translated from Japanese to English in a video game. If you think that because something has become popular in American culture then "l33t speak" would be proper grammar as well as some one saying "doin" instead of doing or the use of the word "ain't". Just because its socially acceptable does not make it correct or "good" grammatically or phonetically or even in its own spelling. BTW... "you just got PWNED" Stuff that up your gammar pipe and chew nice an' slow like. Post Signaturum: I choose to speak in the fasion that I do. Are you getting some wierd kick out of doing this or has mom and dad grounded from your video games? I know where the phrase originated. And I commend you for getting it right. Many people will say it was translated from Chinese. "L33t speak" is a entirely different language. Originating from the English language it does have many similarities, but follows an entirely different grammar and spelling structure. As far as the usage of certain words like "doin" and "ain't" they are considered slang and therefore not proper English. Just as popular internet acronyms and abbreviations are not. TTYL for example or NMHBY?

I'm not sure, but in their sad attempts at correcting the grammar of others. They are merely making themselves look foolish by also making their own grammar mistakes. This is true of their posts, as well as their signature and personal text below their avatar. But someone else around to help bust balls could be fun! My signature is incorrect for a reason. The first one to guess it correctly will get a week free from correction. The text below is correct. "the 'smack talk' forums" is a valid location. I am glad to see that you realize I am just busting balls and having a little fun.

It still doesn't detract form the fact that it is still improper grammar. Since you want to take a nazi approach on the situation and claim to be in the know about all grammatical ideologies then do it and stop half @ssing your work.

Must be Dragon's alternate ego. Notice he hasn't corrected Dragon's posts. either way, lets just hope Der Gamar Hamar stays on the boards, and away from the store. There is no way that I could be Dragon's alternate ego. He does not have the mental capacity necessary to have two full personalities. It is amazing that he evenhas enough of a brain to have one.

I am going to take a chance with this one and assume that you had meant "Are you getting some weird kick out of this? Or has mom and dad grounded you from your video games?" If this is what you actually meant to say, your answer would be no. Once again, you make a mistake in your corrections. It should be "Or have mom and dad grounded you from your video games?" Or you could change it to "Or has mom or dad grounded you from your video games?" Either way would work. But the correction you put in does not.

I respect your request and would like to point out that I confine my postings to only the smack talk forums, and that many of the posts in this forum are not game related. I do not interfere with the rest of your board.

Yeah, You want a medal or a cookie?
What are you trying to prove Dragon? You trying to throw this crap at us again and make yourself look like you have actually acomplished something in your life other than being able to spew back numbers and letters? Again this has serious inadaquicy written all over this. Do you think this gets you and further in life than the high school drop out, Your still a douche and it doesnt matter how many degrees you have, how many pattens you can stick in your pants of even how many children you can spew from your loins...nothing is goin got change that fact. Get over it and move on with your insecurities and get on with your life. Your not convincing me or anyone else that reads this that you are a better person...only that you want to justify your acomplishments and that you think we should hail you as some intellegent person that has something to do with the grand scheme of things. But your not. Really your a lonely sad little boy thats traped in a mans body. Your cying for help at every turn but your claim to manliness and pride prevents you actually asking for it. sad if you ask me. I dont hate you as a person I hate what you think you are. maybe if the Titan among MEN would leave and the real dragon...that crying little boy grew up, Maybe people would like you just a little more. who knows.
Oh im good. hehe. I should be a shrink.
