    Default Who actually knows....

    the difference between past tense and present tense and plural and non plural. Seriously, I've read the forums a lot today and all I could see are a lot of grammar mistakes.(Past Tense,Present Tense-Plural,non plural)No i'm not claiming i'm perfect. I won't be throwing a fit if someone makes a grammar mistake but holy fecking jesus. So many grammar mistakes I doubt whether they actually go to school or not. This isn't a flame thread since I won't mention any names . I got a question for the general community of ONRpg. Do you know the difference between past tense,present tense and plural,non plural.


    EDIT: Yes I know I will get banned and flamed for this but this question is the question I always wanted answered.I'm so curious I can't even take it anymore.

    Yes, I did know the differences between past and present tenses.

    Why are you going to ask?

    And why would you get banned for asking this?

    There is SO many people that don't know. I want to know how many of you don't know. That is my question. Weird question,yes But I want to have a list of the people that don't know so I can spam their Private MEssage box with grammar lessons.
    I just die a little inside every time I see really bad grammar.

    EDIT:@ Arri I don't know some people take this as indirect flaming at their english.

    I don't know what they are. I just type what I think sounds right.

    Also, OP forgot some comma's, capitalization, and has some run-on sentences in his first post. You just lost the game.

    So? The first two don't affect communication over the internet at all, and run on sentences only mildly. However, mixing up your tenses can really confuse people, so it's actually worth bothering about.

    Well, you forgot to capitalize those "i"'s, and you should "have" a question, not "got" one. If your gonna play the "I'm pissed off at grammar" card, be sure not to do things like that.

    Sorry, I HAD to. In actuality, I whole heartedly agree with you. What can we do though? b4 ppl lrn 2 graammar rite, dey ned 2 stop typing liek dis.
