This is not meant to hurt your feelings. Its just way to be a bit more respected on this site.

Grammar lesson, Part 1

Hello, my name is Chevelle. I would like to take the time to teach you a little bit more about how to speak proper english, punctuate your sentences, and help with the little things.
Capital Letters
First, its looks much better to put a Capital for the First letter of the First word in the sentence. Also, use a capital for the first letter of a Name, or important object. When you type the letter, "I", Always capitalize it.

Punctuation
Next, your sentence looks MUCH better when you use a Period at the end of a sentence. It makes you look better, and lets the person know when they can Take a breath after reading your sentence.

Choosing the Right word
Try to steer clear of words like, "Meh," and "Teh." Not only does it make you look a bit retarded, (No offense!) they aren't even real words. Also, try not to use "lol" in every sentence you type.

Spelling
Spelling words correctly is an important part of Writing, typing, and other text based areas. For example, which word looks better? "Liek," or "Like?" Exactly. Now, I can understand if you hit the wrong Key while using the Home row typing technique. (Using both hands and not looking at the letters you hit.) That happens sometimes, and will be forgiven.

Thats it for this lesson, check back soon for the next!

Here, here..!

You must have been reading some pretty bad posts or something, Hahahaha....I think that the way we type is a direct reflection of who we are in real life...I think that it communicates a uniqueness that you can only find attached to an individuals web personality...

I wouldn't want to change that....No offense, of course...

I don't take any offense from that. I just go on some forums, and every 1 out of 3 Posts I can understand about three words. I can't stand when people type like this:
"lol i leik pwned tht n0b lol"

Don't worry, That's a signal you can freely skip what that person said, no need to understand him/her.

See, GW..? That just means you need to stop going to so many other forums, and just ADN...

Gotta love it when destiny is talking to you...

And beyond that, you can completely ignore the poster that is getting on your nerves by adding them to your ignore list in your profile...You can also kick an offensive user from any thread that you start... 8)

Sweet, huh..?

How does one go about doing that, AYHJA? I've not seen any buttons or what-not that would allow me to do that (not that I've had cause to yet, but just investigating). Is there a special code one enters to knock someone out of the thread? Inquiring minds want to know!
