Misc: How To Talk Properly On Forums

Infern0 · Post by **Infern0** » Wed May 11, 2005 9:16 am

Hi, this is like, a millionth tutorial of me, but i never released one, but this is a tutorial on how to spell properly. And not using the "Ph34r3d H4x" talk.

Let us commence.

Apostrophes, commas and dots
Ok, probably the easiest part.
As you can see, i like to use comma's, dots and apostrofs alot. They make the sentence more clear to read.
You use an apostrof on word like: Don't, I've, You've, We're, You're etc, etc.
You use comma's to seperate an sentence from another sentence. Like this:
Ok, look at this!
It makes the sentence look more nicer and smarter looking.
You use dots at the end of a sentence;
I did use that thingy.
See, nice use of sentences.

Spaces and alinea's
Another easy grammar useage, spaces. You use spaces to seperate words from eachother(duh!) and if you say: Hi,*space* i'm elite.
See? Enter a space in the *space* part so it looks like: Hi, i'm elite.

You use alinea's if you go from one subject to another one. You then use an alinea. I just used one.

Capitals
Please, for gods sake, use Capitals!!! CAPITALS DOESN'T MEAN YOU NEED TO TYPE SENTENCES IN CAPS. No, just one capital for names, or the begin of an sentence.

Faulty grammar and h4x
Ok, this is probably the most fun part. The faulty grammar and h4x part. If you see someone type in faulty grammar and doesn't seperate his sentences, that would suck to read.
Look:
OMG OMG lolol i made this wepen it luks relly cwool lolol i pwn lolol plz giv cred
Well, that's not easily readable. Please, take 5 more seconds just to type out an sentence "correct". Don't be a lazy bum.
Oh and h4x language.
Do i have to say anything about "Sp43k1ng 1n h4%"?
It's an vile language used by newbies, trying to look cool. But they're not. Stay away from h4x language or die from the strange aura about it.

Well foolish kids, i hoped you learn something to use. If you don't use this properly, i will kill you.

I spy a grammatical error and I'm not even on the third sentence.

It should be: They make the sentence more clearly read.
Or: They make the sentence more clear to the reader.
Or: They make the sentence more easily read.

I also noticed a problem with your title.

It is: Learn how to talk properly on a forum
It should be: Learn how to speak properly on a forum.

You don't speak on forums, you talk to them. Eitherways, who cares, it's just an basic tutorial for spelling >.> And with basic i meant that i didn't put much work into it :p

It also isn't proper to start a sentence with and. But yes, a very good idea for a tutorial.

If you don't think it is useful, don't read it!

You may want to consider it, however. I noticed many grammatical errors in your post! Anyways, many of our members here need to learn how to speak proper English. 17 15 ju57 pl41n b0r1n9 70 r34d 7h1ng5 l1k3 7hi5!

Don't read it if you don't want to, but I suggest you do. Nobody is forcing you to do anything
