Well it is kind of important, try reading the posts that are missing punctuation. Combined with the bad spelling i think you'd be better off reading egyption.

enormungus

dude, you started a "grammar" thread in a bike forum?

My god, with spelling like that i would also want people to be lax about it. Much has been said on this topic and why 'decent' (not the same as perfect mind you) spelling is actually a good idea on these boards. I am not going to repeat that stuff here but if anyone is interested:

https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...elling+perfect

I think a compelling case is made (by mods and others) to employ decent spelling as a courtesy and for practical reasons. If you sound or spell like a 12 year old or someone with severe learning disabilities (when you don't actually have them) or are just plain too lazy to mind spelling,.. well, don't be suprised that some people may treat you a certain way or look at you in an unfavourable light.

Isn't this what you really meant to say?

Ok cmoe on pploee cnat we just psot wtih out smoe hekood on phoicns wabanne gieouns fliman erevy body cuss the way tehy slepl olienn. If you dnot hvae eny tinhg ulfusel to say aoubt the tipoc dnot psot in it. Thats just my ten cte..ns.

Dude, It's just easier to read when it's spelled right, and puncutaltion is used. The only whay we communicate is by typing. So is is too much to ask for you peeps to do their best. Mis-spelled words is one thing, but typing like an idiot is tough to read sometimes. Also, probably half the homies on here are well over 20. We're just asking for a little effort is all.

Brian

If you can't be bothered to use proper spelling and grammar, then don't post. It's one of the many forum rules you agreed to.

p.s. Thanks Mude.

What im trying to say here is if you dont have anything to say about a topic, then dont post how people cant spell, because it doesnt help anybody, and as long as your not speaking hungarian or something, dont flame people...Thats all folks, and to FMFBMX any time dude.

Brian

And all we're saying is that if you can't take the time to spell out words, and spell them properly, don't post. Forum rules, like 'em or leave.

Just ban the kid ex, he is starting to get annoying. First how he is trying to show off because he can do a norrie stand and now this, please just ban him.

Brian

We don't ban members because they ride better than you.

mott464

Oh ya man, them norrie stands are killer.

Brian

Seriously though. We seem to go through this with all new members in BMX. He'll either come around, or he'll leave.

+1 to last post.

I am just glad people take the time out to give (constructive) criticism about spelling in all of these boards, it is one of the many things that keeps these boards of a high caliber or at very least legible as opposed to many others.

Brian

I'll be the first to admit that as a moderator, I'm much easier on the bad spellers than I was before I was a mod. Then I would simply ridicule the worst spellers. I'm a bit nicer now. I majored in English Literature before I got my degree in Art.

KrisPistofferson

And now you're a forum mod. Stay in school, kids!

Brian

It's not like I don't have a job. And look at the photo under my name. I can still afford a few toys.

This forum does have more intelligible posts overall, compared to at least one other that I participate in. I haven't seen any other forums with the amount of flaming based on grammar and spelling and failure to use the search function as this one, though... but I've been guilty of both sides of that issue anyways.

Brian

BMX is junior high. I'm the shop teacher that's filling in for the principal.

Mikato Soul

Hey what can I say, threads like this give the forum a little "spice" but I love this forum, theres always something interesting going on this forum and I love it. But I plan on sticking around for a Long Time.....................................................................

Brian

That's cool. We might have to bend you to fit in, that's all.

Mikato Soul

Good thing im plyable <Did I spell that right?
