I know I'm supposed to be doing more polls for game ratings, and I will soon. I just need people to start suggesting games. Anyway, so now I wanted opinions on something kind of random- does grammar really matter? In my opinion, if you're writting a blog, proper grammar is essential. But does it matter if you're commenting, or just on a game? I've always thought higher of people who took out the time to actually write out words like "you" and "are", and use proper capitalization.
I can never really take anyone who types like a second grader seriously, no matter what they're talking about. Especially BYOND programmers / game developers- I've known at least five or six who claim to be awesome developers, yet still type like they're six years old. I mean, it's common for just random players (no offense to any of you random players, out there) to not type out full sentences, and such... But I just can't take any developer seriously who doesn't even understand elementary school level writing.
But enough of my rambling- what do you guys think about it? Vote! Also, don't forget to suggest any new games that should be added. You can page me, or leave a comment.

Hell yeah it does I can't stand people spelling poorly it drives me to the brink of insanity, well alright somewhere near there. Anyways, it makes me wish that people would actually have time to type decently instead of all this slang garbage. I do use it sometimes but just for fun.

And you spelled capitalization wrong.

Thanks Destiny, for helping me prove a point. Now- no offense intended- but at least I can't really take anyone seriously (especially when they insult people) when they're using illegible grammar. Still, to each their own, right?

Not sure if it was simply a typo. But you typed out "too" instead of "to."

Don't make up ridiculous excuses like "I don't take grammar seriously on the Internet." If you don't use correct grammar when talking to me, you're a dumbshit. Plain & Simple.
Making typos and being a fat fuck is two different things.

Hell yeah it does.
To me, at least.
I tend to be a total grammar nazi. People even say that it's too much that I demand them to capitalize some letters.
Also, I totally agree with you.
I can handle people who don't have totally immaculate grammar and spelling, but I'm incredibly judgmental on those who aren't.
Especially programers.

As long as I don't have to put effort into trying to understand someone, it doesn't really matter to me.

Yes it matters. But most game developers who type like that make crappy DBZ or Naruto rips so it doesn't really affect me.
The Worst Is When People Type Like This, Since They Both Look Like An Idiot And Are Expending More Effort In What They Are Saying.

Yes it is. I am like you Kira, can't take those who can't take time to spell properly. No i don't got perfect grammas, but i do atleast type the whole word instead of shortening it.
