Lose vs. Loose

[Aries1918]

Draco is making me laugh multiple times per day now. Pat yourself on the back.

Also, horray for the letter "u". Saulus lives in Canada, and he owns the server, and by natural extention, the server is Canadian. We Canadians, when in doubt, just add the letter "u" to everything, like our European ascendants taught us. Therefore, all you Americans should feel obligated to do the same, under the reign of Saulus the Canadian.

You have just read the official declaration of intent. Re-read if there are any questions.

I would also like to go on to say that, in addition to adding the letter "u" to everything, people should use proper punctation and capitalization! If you don't know how to spell a word here and there, fine, we all make mistakes... but do we not all realize that when you use names, titles, and when you refer to yourself, you capitalize the first letter? At the end of the sentence, are you not aware that you have many delightful options as to what you can place there? We have periods, question marks, and exclamation marks to suit your languistic needs! Please! Just consider some of them...

Isn't there a pot leaf on the Canadian flag though? I don't trust pot smokers

Now this is getting nasty on some countries...

Oh don't worry, I'm a fair guy. I insult everyone evenly, even myself. For example: My own president can't spell, or talk half as well as the the worse people here do.

Anyways, back on topic.... what makes you think these people are going to read this post anyways?

Ok well, hopefully none of what I said invoked any of that lol. I also would like to state that all my comments should have been taken in humor, I was not angry at all when posting, nor was I out to offend any one. Although hopefully some of those comments that seem at least some what serious are jokes, I have a hard time telling sometimes.

-Ass has been officially covered.

Okay, my original intent was not to have this post attack anyone's country or nationality. Obviously, this server is extremely diverse, so if you make a mistake in English and it isn't your native language, ask someone for help.

Everyone makes mistakes with writing and typing at some point and I'm sure even this blurb has at least a few grammatical errors, but take the time to research a term before you wield it about like you were saw Karthus naked and needed a flaming greatsword to kill him with, gorsh!

[rustediron]

Bah. We all know we're joking so its alright

[Kangleton]

Yeah, I thought my post was dripping with enough arrogance to almost seem obselete in how rude it must have made me. I was also sarcastic for some amount of it... but sarcasm is that thing that doesn't translate on the internet, right? My bad.

Anyways, I have no real problem with people who make spelling errors, or take a long time to type, or use the wrong form of words (two, too, to, etc). My real problem is with people who know how to do better, and they continue make the same mistakes regardless. People who don't capitalize the letter "I" when speaking in first person... that makes me want to kick a baby. So does anime.

"i hate goblins lets go to the forest instead"

Those sentences bug me! Multiple spaces does not take the place of punctation! And capitalize the first letter of every sentence, and the letter "I". We all know that, right? Don't you do that in every language I've ever heard of?

Karthus,

Please...start talking...with....all the elipses...you possibly can...

~Mako~

[Kangleton]

I only used two! TWO!

[Jaeram]

Oh yeah, I may be a bit of a stickler for correct spelling, and I may not always capitalize the first letter of my sentences (mostly in game, forums are a bit different), but don't get me started on ellipses, some times I can go way over board with those in my role playing if I'm in that kind of mood.

You don't do that in Deutsch unless it's at the beginning of a sentence, I believe.

[Kangleton]

Well... THEY DO IT WRONG.

While we're at it

Hold up, wait a minute, stop the train, hold the phone. You forgot one Draco.

" Those sentences bug me! Multiple spaces do not take the place of punctation! And capitalize the first letter of every sentence, and the letter, "I"."

You can't start a sentence with the word 'and' silly.
Of course this post is meant to be taken in humor, please don't kill me lol. Although, while on the topic, other common words that you may not begin a sentence with also include 'because' and 'but'.

On a final note, Mako, thank you very much for starting this thread not only has it been hilarious, it might actually, some how, in some small way, be of some use to some one. I salute you for finding a way to make learning fun.
