I was a Mammoth tank on hourglass and i got stuck on one of the many rocks. So then Nod flame rushed but one stayed to kill me ,but he did not know i was stuck so he killed my Mammoth that was already down two 200 (i was on my way back to get repairs when i got stuck). Then the flame got stuck on the rock fell off and died. Good tactic if u do it with a hummer instead [ June 17, 2002, 14:34: Message edited by: jm21146 ]

Please, do all of us a favor. Go back to first grade, learn basic spelling. Then grammar and punctuation. And sentence structure. Maybe read a newspaper or two to find out how writing is done by people who want to be understood by their audience. [ June 16, 2002, 09:47: Message edited by: SgtZim ]

A basic understanding of grammar and sentence structure is NOT too much to ask for!

Indeed. Reading that post just hurts. Even though your idea can be understood, the writing is so bad it creates an effective distraction from comprehending what you're trying to say. You used no capitalization, had numerous spelling errors, and wrote in one unstructured run-on sentence. You used no punctuation of any sort for that matter, except for a pair of parenthesis, which shouldn't be used in formal writing anyway (but this isn't formal, now, is it? .

Spankinstein Really? He's trying to relate a story and gets jacked around with a lecture on proper grammar technique...
How about this - STFU N00b. I reiterate, this is a general discussion board for Renegade. This isn't a discussion on the proper techniques, sentence structure/and or spelling of the English language.

Lenchmob, it's disgusting for you to stick up for such a horribly written post. It shows nothing but stupidity. It doesn't take a large amount of effort to make what you write legible online. Your fingers are already on the keyboard, it isn't as if you have to get up and walk around to make a proper sentence without abbreviating simple words like 'you' and 'your'. Please, it's pathetic, disgusting; no one should condone such practices. In defending a person like that, you're just as horrible.

Your profession in life should be that of an English professor. You seem to have this obession for grammatically correct posts on this forum. If you're such a stickler for perfection go to school, get that degree, and get paid for metting out criticisms by the truck load. If you enjoy it that much, then this should be your life long quest. "Stupidity" how original I couldn't expect anymore from you. It doesn't deserve a response and it won't. Ack manipulation, not today I've got things to do, places to go, and people to meet....

yeah, basic grammar isn't too much to ask, IF ENGLISH IS YOUR FIRST LANGUAGE (or you are mentaly handicaped, which isn't something to be made fun of).
PS, this is the World Wide Web, not the English Only Web. [ June 16, 2002, 20:52: Message edited by: eg ]
