In which Saberivojo is a prude and a snob

Apr 10, 2011 13:15

Now, disregarding the fact that this is all lower case letters, which is something that makes me cringe and the fact that this person has no clue how to use punctuation marks, I still just can’t deal with this.

I get it guys, it’s FB - not everyone cares or even believes in punctuation or capitalization. It is somewhat generational I’m sure ( Read more... )

fangurls, writing, rant

I feel your pain. I'm especially thrown when people don't use punctuation. I have to re-read 'one' sentence three times just to figure out that it's actually four sentences with several subordinate clauses just because people are to lazy to put in all these bothersome points and stroke thingies that are obviously not important. -.- And then I hate myself for being a grammar snob.
Also, that girl totally thinks Jason Mann is going to be crawling on his knees, begging her for her wonderful lyrics and who cares if she can't really spell, she has this amazing gift where she can string words together into deep, meaningful, living and breathing beings of light!

Have fun writing you paper :)

Oohhh. Subordinate clauses. *pets your grammar snobby self*

I just don't even read fic anymore where people obviously don't care enough to properly capitalize or punctuate. It doesn't have to be real fancy punctuation, periods make me very happy.

There is no fun writing this paper but hopefully I will start each sentence with a capital letter.

*grins*

tifaching is a grammar and spelling snob too. And I refuse to feel bad about it! tifaching April 10 2011, 19:37:37 UTC

Don't hate yourself for being a grammar snob. It is not all right to write however the heck you want. Actually, it is all right, hell express yourself however you want, as long as you don't expect me to actually read it.

"she has this amazing gift where she can string words together into deep, meaningful, living and breathing beings of light!" LOL, I've seen a few people defend their non-punctuated, misspelled, wrong word for the context writing just this way!

Mmmm. Maybe I will start a new "thing" and call myself the ee cummings of LJ.

I'm gonna just say it's creative license.
