Literate or illiterate

The vocabulary and annotation of most threads/posts i read are usually well constructed. Does anyone else agree that BG games and RPG's in general help a persons vocabulary ??????????? not too mention their wit

Except yours, I guess ...

Compare this (yours)...
"Every thread and post i read is usually well constructed and correctly annotated, does anyone agree that BG games and RPG's in general help a persons vocabulary, not too mention there wit"

...with this:
"Every thread and post I read is usually well constructed and correctly annotated. Does anyone agree, that BG games and RPG's in general help a person's vocabulary, not to mention their wit?"

Hell, English isn't even my primary language. I agree with you, though, that such games do help to stimulate the language in which the game is played. Games like these require you to read a lot of text, and it is logical that you pick up a thing or two from the grammar and such. Personally I always get somewhat annoyed when people write almost intelligeble texts, like 'u w8 their, nad u vill se wat I meen.' Especially since English is not my primary language at all, and I would have to have the same problems.

Overall, I think I make very little errors in my messages, and if I make them, they really are typo's I overlook when re-reading my message before posting.

By the way, Sleepy, what did you do with your '?' key?? Did you sell it, or what?

Hmmm, I must say that noble one. Maybe not the vocabulary though, but perhaps they remembers thos words they thought they had forgotten many years ago. And maybe those who hasnt english as theyr first language gets better. You could always go to the first message you have posted to this board, and see how you sentence where constructed and the words combined to sentences.....

"Words are used for 3 things: express thoughts, hide thoughts, and to hide that there are no thoughts..." 'Greek philosopher'

Aint I litterated today (pay no attention to the typos)

"In the beginning Bioware created heaven and earth. The earth was without form and empty, with darkness on the face of the depths. But Bioware's spirit moved on the water's surface. Bioware said: 'there shall be gameplay', and gameplay came into existence. Bioware saw that the gameplay was good..."

Is that any better

If you refer to my message, yes, it is.

Just look at the garbled thingy you produced, and my masterful piece of literature!

But serious: there ARE differences ... just look carefully! And you still didn't answer my question ... what happened to your '?' key??

CHEATER!! YOU CHANGED YOUR MESSAGE AFTER I POSTED MINE!!

Well, one can't speak for the other members of this messageboard, but, I believe that RPG's are good for the vocabulary; as is any other pastime that involves reading a large amount of text.

Anyway, one must get back to clubbing that F****** B******* Mind Flayer with my F******* great Two-F*******-Handed Sword of B******* Smashing.

I could decipher most of the *'d text but the last B******* smashing is a little confusing, spell it out in separate posts i might get it then

You spammer ... Bucky will be most displeased with your apparent lack of proper conduct ... your most offensive crime on this board: listening to Mr. Sleep! Mhuhahaha!

daemon · Post by **daemon** » Tue Nov 21, 2000 7:34 am

I am not just a "spammer" - to think such a thing is ludicrous. I AM THE *MASTER SPAMMER*

BOW BEFORE ME.

Mr Sleep · Post by **Mr Sleep** » Tue Nov 21, 2000 7:37 am

You are well on your way, just listen to Sleep he will inform you how best to spam and do no work, get cushy leaving times aswell

Mr Sleep · Post by **Mr Sleep** » Tue Nov 21, 2000 7:46 am

I think the first post is going to become the most edited post ever on this board, just another accolade going to Mr. Sleep - don't know if thats a good thing or not.

Maurice · Post by **Maurice** » Tue Nov 21, 2000 7:54 am

With a measily 116 messages, you aint a master spammer ... you still have superiors above you, like me and Sleepy.

Bow before us, before we incinerate all your posts and make you start allover!
