Grammar & Spelling

  • Basically all can be seen here: (snapshot-ed like 5 minutes ago on lancersreactor.org)

    The main question is: Is it really hard for tlr-tech2 (which looks like a moderator-type of guy) to learn at least minimum (1st grade level) English spelling, grammar and proper use of "enter" key (randomly hitting it doesn't help) ??


    If TLR is going to [at least try] to return to the scene, shouldn't it look at least a bit professional? Cos ATM it looks like tlr-tech2 is a 5 year old kindergarten IM spammer (no offense). I don't mind the use of "u"'s and "r"'s on the forum, but c'mon -- it's the friggin' front page for crying out loud!

  • personally I don't bother with it, but magnet is right...


    but, if he/she's (ofc he/she's) foreigner, then we can accept these kind of errors if he/she doesn't know english very well, agreed?


    aaah, forget it =P



    but I remember in '07 Eraser posting in the main page wanting News Posters with good English knowledge. it's possible here atm?

  • Generally speaking: let those people do what they do. It's a lot of work, we should respect this. It's a big challenge to face all the work that has to be done with 'TLR's resurrection', so we should encourage the team. Critisizing the spelling is imo a second or third priority task.
    and btw: I have seen much worse grammar and spelling on TLR or other fine forums

  • Maise, its just spelling. If the message gets across who cares who its spelled? Its not like he wrote an English paper or somethin'.

  • If needed feel free to use this, no apologies for English spelling rather than American.

    Ok buddy, take your wisecracked comments somewhere ells. If you can't take constructive criticism then I suggest you stick your head back in that paper bag you pulled it out of cause thats the only way you could have avoided learning any manners. Mantis said nothing about asking you to writing like a 10 year old with ADD so I find your comment, not only offensive, but also misinformed. Not only did you take his words out of context you also called him a noob for no reason. My advise is, go sit in the corner.

  • Ummm, could we have an english translation of this? I suspect an offshoot of French, but not sure.

    Si vous n'aimez pas Dieu, Cajuns, la bière ou les femmes alors vous n'avez pas envie d'en savoir un coonass comme moi!


    In terms of spelling, it would be nice effort to try and spell out the words instead of bringing text messaging over from cell phones ;)

    If you do not like God, Cajuns, beer or women then you do not want to know a coonass like me!


    I suspect that first line is Gaelic (Irish if I'm not mistaken)

  • If that's his sig, then he posted only his sig? :roll:
