You just received a pipin' hot request for friendship from (username deleted).

Says (username deleted): "i love your work i would like to help you. im wanting become a anime graphics artist and go to japan to make games like legend of zelda and recreat the twight series because they messed up in one oart im not in to the wind waker art. email me some time."

Thanks for the compliment, but your message was so riddled with spelling and grammar errors I have no idea what the majority of it says. Help me do what? What on earth is "the twight series"? Should that have been more than one sentence? I assume there are different parts to that statement. (For the record, I think the art from Wind Waker is absolutely fantastic and I love it to pieces.)

I'm sorry if I come across as rude, but I don't know how else to respond to messages I can't fully decipher. I'm afraid I'm kind of a grammar snob, and if I'm going to be friends with someone, even on so superficial a site as this, they need to at least communicate in a clear and coherent manner. Remember, spellcheck is your friend.




I felt a little bad about sending such a reply...for a second. But I can't imagine this person to be the sort whose wrath I should fear in the future, and I just can't seem to let such epic levels of anti-communication go without a word. And honestly, I don't think I'm missing anything by rejecting this outreach of friendship.

Roughly equates to:

"I love your work, and I would like to help you. I want to become a graphic artist for anime, so that I could go to Japan. I want to remake games like The Legend of Zelda, and recreate the Twilight series (because they messed up on the art; I'm not into the Wind Waker art). Email me some time."

I believe s/he is referring to "Twilight Princess" (a LoZ game), and not the terrible series of "novels." Even so, I still can't quite make out the purpose of this...
