this is kind of dump but I'll write anyways. Am 16 years old and when I am reading things on the forum I feel dump. why you
ask all of you write so friggin good and fancy. I misspell like almost every word I write. and I almost never use commas and any type of punctuation. damn am dump.
how old are you guys and are you out of school yet.

( am still in high school by the way.)

I'm 22, and in my sophmore year of med-school.

Anyways, it really doesn't matter how you type, since a forum is a casual place.

You're not the only one to misspell! Trust me! Don't worry about it too much, but if you can, try to correct the mistakes for example by reading the messages more than once before posting :D

BTW, I'm 22 and I'm a University student. This means I'm out of high school o_O;;

Senior in High school and I don't make mistakes because if I do then when I turn in a paper for EnglishI wouldn't have cared about spelling and not get a grade I deserve.

I'm 16, I make plenty of mistakes...but I think playing rpg's helps boost your vocabulary in one way or another so I'll go with that explanation.

I just do. As long as I can understand what you're saying then I don't care how you type.

Oh, I'm 14 and in High School. :O

I'm 18 and in my last year of high school; taking a weekend 'Pre-animation' course at the moment. Fun fun.

I try to spell correctly, because frankly when people use 'internet slang' like '4' instead of 'for' and '2' instead of 'to' and what not, its really bothers me. But don't change because of that, it's something I have to learn to live with! :laugh:

Fortune, you're only 22?? You keep saying how you feel so much older than most people in the forums, but you're not any older than me:laugh:

Im in the second last year oif high school, although I could leave just now, I'm not gonna.

I used to not type so neatly before, I get a bit better now and then, but I think it makes your posts a lot clearer and better to look at, so people can read it easily without misunderstanding any typos or cyber-slang.

Well, yes, I'm only 22. But real age doesn't count when I say I feel old (btw, 22 is actually being older than the greatest part of the people around here ) XD

Who cares if you mis-spell I doubt any on this forum cares I certinaly don't. Oh yeah, I'm 15 and in Secondary school, I really spend too much time on the computer cause I have my Junior Cert this year.....Important exams for those who have never heard of it before

yeah man, you shouldn't need to worry about it. people are understanding at this site. even though some of us have better grammar doesn't mean anything about what kind of people we are. and even the best of us make mistakes sometimes. I'm probably the smartest mother F$%^&R at my school (ask fantasytiger, i think she would vouch for me) and i STILL screw up on spelling and vocabulary sometimes. BTW, i'm 17 (10 days till im 18) and i'm a senior in high school. even if you do make mistakes and mess up spelling, you shouldn't have to worry about it. there was a guy who i knew at another forum who had a disorder that made it so he COULDN"T spell things straight. he'd have at least 4 or 5 mistakes a sentence, and sometimes you wouldn't be able to understand what he meant. a lot of the people on the net (especially here) will be very understanding and not mention it at all. :D

oh yeah, forgot about that. i have such good grammar cuz' i go through a lot of VERY large books every month. i just polished off a 500 page book in 2 days. i'm a very avid reader~

ssjtrunks13
Jan 15th, 2003, 12:13 PM
500 hundred pages in 2 days? You sound like my brother he also reads much faster than me. I'm not really interested in reading becaus ewhen I try to read a novel it feels like a chore to me. But I can and do read if I have to(like when playing video games) ;)

well it dont matter if you type badly as long as it is possible to tell what you mean. Im only 15 and im not bad at typeing, It just takes time thats all.

Jan 15th, 2003, 01:44 PM
English is one of my strong points and i'm expected A grades for the subject... but that doesn't mean that my spelling doesn't abjectly suck ... it's nearly as bad as my handwriting and that's bad :laugh: (I don't know how I'm expected good grades either.. I don't read enough and I lack the creative writing skills that I wish I had...) . At the end of the day, I guess it's just a matter of whether people can tell what you're saying :happy:

Oh and I'm 16 ( and not sweet 16 for sure :laugh: ) and still at Secondary School... eap! GCSEs!

Jan 15th, 2003, 02:01 PM
Lets see, if anyone knows me, and most of you do, cause afterall i am the ruler of the universe. You will know that I do not always have the grammer included in my sentace structure. I find it only takes up my time to backspace when I make mistakes. I do read it over from time to time and fix little stuff, but I dont always see the need to capitalize my i's and the start of new sentances.

I am 21 in my 4th year of 5 at a University in Canada taking a degree to one day become a teacher.

Good for you, and good luck to you getting a teacher's degree, I wanted to be a teacher when I grow up, but instead, games had invaded my mind, so im going to be a game programmer, I wish good luck to all of you, who wants to make something out of themselves in life.

Sorry, couldn't resist to encourage someone's belief.

Well, I've been writing poetry, short stories, and the like since I first learned to write....and a whole lot of people here know I'm puttin out my 1st book soon. But as for the grammer stuff, don't sweat it. If you met me in real life, you'd swear my written speech was bad, only cause of my use of slang.
But it doesn't take out of a post when you mispel, now over doing it -sure-you'll sound like a pure loser who should be flogged with a barnicle paddle smeared in shark chum.....:peoples:

or.....so....I....I ...heard

And as for me, I'm graduating this June with my Phys Ed diploma, thats a part of the reason my post counts' slowed down. But hell, it was worth it....

Yeah, that's the same reason why I type properly is because I have been doing it for about 12 years! When I write on paper I still use cursive!:laugh:

What exactly did you learn about Terrorism?? :confused:

It really doesn't matter how you type. We aren't giving English Papers here eh. :laugh: I write in one of the worst manners when it comes to English. Before I was worried but now I am cool. I dont care. Like everyone has said.....if people get what you are saying, its all right! :)

I'm 17 and am a senior. I think i type okay, and my grammer, spelling, and whatever seems pretty okay to me. But nothing more than nonsence seems to come from the posts from me, so I suppose it'd be best if most of you weren't able to read what the f*ck I am saying.

Oh, and perhaps my grammer isn't all that great, emphasizing the swearing mainly. But ohg well, the hell with it i guess.

Nanotechnology is still really in development, I dont think any nanotechnology has been succesful completed, yet (I may be wrong on that) But of course the game was set in the future and they didnt have to be technology correct on it seeing how it was fiction (after all our governments dont make giant bipedal nuclear tanks, or do they?)
