We should reform Gaia so that they all use proper grammar

We shall put this message all over Gaia, so they all know to use proper grammer and punctuation.

How do you mean? What do you intend to do?

Your sentence fails to define "they."

I don't exactly know if that would encourage the gaia members. Out of the entire site we are but a small bunch of ants. A lot of people are into the convienence of typing three letter words with no vowels because they feel it is quicker... even though it can be ridiculous... For if the site were turned into a grammar program... everyone would flee. It is like turning an art class into a mathematical calculation... if you know what I mean...

I really don't see how that would help. We would become some kind of dictator guild that forces Gaians to punctuate and capitalize.


Which actually would be a pretty funny plot idea for a comic series. Can't you just see it now? It would be like the book 1984, where the people are brainwashed. Some one dressed in grey holding a ruler-like stick threatening poor little Gaians: 'Capitalize your I's or you will get a beating upside the head with this ruler-like stick!'

Okay, enough laughing from me. If you can't see the theatre inside my head and have missed the whole point of why this post is funny...I am sorry. I blame my mother.

That is one of the things that we can only dream about because it will probably never happen.

Hmm.... We wish that could happen! But, nobody would listen, anyway.

That's my pipe dream for the guild. In real life, we'd never muster the numbers necessary to get the admins' attention.

For now, I'll be happy with getting the "txt tlk" put where it belongs: The Chatterbox.

It is a good idea... and a good goal to keep for the future... it is possible... all I am saying is for those who prefer to type in that sense would probably end up quiting the gaia all together... as I said before, it's almost like making an art class write math.... only the people who are patient enough to do every single equation would stay... but out of that majority who would prefer doing art... would leave... I'm horrible with metaphors so please feel free to bash my theory. It's okay, I can handle taunts...
