Forum :: Lounge :: Do You Agree?

This subject matter is very important to be by the way.

Does anyone else get frustrated when you join a private server with excellent custom gfx and you start playing the game seriously when you find that a quest description has errors in grammar and spelling? It just makes me want to forget EO Servers in general. I don't know if I have OCD or what,because I just want to punch someone when I see this. I want your opinions on this subject. 

I suggest you look over your quest descriptions, captions, signs, item names, basically anything with words in it..even game titles. I'm not saying you should do this for my sake, but if you want your server to look the least bit professional, I suggest you revise your writing.

Thank You.

The good times are killing me.

It does not bother me at all, to be honest I hardly play any Endless Online. The only way that it bugs me is when its like this, "All your base are belong to us". If its just like someone spelling what "Wat" than it does not really bother me, at least it makes sense. 

If the server is that good why would you get so annoyed over something so small? The owner probably has larger problems to deal with. If the mistake is that ridiculous then why not just point it out to an admin so they can get it fixed.

The spelling and grammatical mistakes in the classic version of EO bugged the shit out of me, so yeah, I agree. There is no excuse for it really, I mean, WTF? is your spellcheck broken or what?

"haveOTCorwhatbecause" and you say they have grammatical errors? I agree though to an extent. If it is a small error like misspelling a word by like one letter than I find no problem with it but if almost every other word (Or all) it looks like the server was made by a three year old, leading me to question if it will be like it in the future. Mainly people just make small errors on street signs and quests since not often do people check the System text to see if the map has a name at all.

Well honostly, i dont think he had to fix anything. This was just a little project that he decided to work on. He had put a bunch of money into it as well, and was getting nothing back set aside from donations.

Just like the grammatical mistakes in the initial post, either nobody noticed or nobody cares. :P

Heh Apollo, "I got this"

I has the very badist grammar (see what I did there?) But as this is a topic about it - I'll point out a few errors.

1) There is a typo in the opening statement: "very important to be" I assume should be "very important to me"

2) The subject is abstract and therefore not an actual subject.

3) You should separate the server descriptive within the first sentence if is going to continue being a query (not strict but par for the course within English).

3) I assume you mean OCD and not OTC. This is quite funny and a little ironic.

4) There should be no comma between "what, because". Remember "because" is a conjunction of "be the cause of" and "what" is a pronoun so it's basically one interrogation.

5) "item names, basically": The comma should really be replaced with "or" or "and" depending on your finalization, as you're moving from a list to a generalization.

6) No need for ellipses between "words in it.. even a game" as you're all ready listing (a semi-colon would be more acceptable).

7) "Thank You." is a basic abuse of capitalization.

Now attack all of my horrific grammar and we'll become enemies, fight for ages, build up tension and then eventually have amazing, explosive sex. XD

But then, Shakespeare wrote his plays phonetically and rarely used punctuation (just his own set of ---'s). So, nem nyelve eszkos a szelideki.

This is maths, not language XD Woo! I win again! Take an eCookie for being the first on this though =D

(Maybe that was a real error on my part. Like I'm ever going to admit to it XD)

Lol Was it really necessary point out all of his grammar mistakes?

All you had to say was that it's ironic that he is annoyed by grammar mistakes in servers, when he doesn't even use correct grammar himself.

Yep.

Also question O_O everytime i refresh my screen a diff pic of u shows up. why?!

It was simply a bit of irony comparing grammar mistakes on a forum post about disliking grammar mistakes. It just goes to show you that the world accepts grammatical errors.
