A perfectly fine sentence walked down the street one day, enjoying the grammatically correct people around it. The sentence could hear people having friendly conversations about the weather, and the News and other social matters. It could hear people spelling "You Are" as "you're" and spelling out words correctly. Everything was fine.... So it seemed... "TIS BES A STCK uP!" said the grammatical fool as he walked in the peaceful neighborhood. The daylight turned to darkness and all became quiet. "I M COMIN 2 TAKE ALL UR MUNNY!" he said in a voice, with so many errors it shook the town violently with its words. "I NO USE CAWMA R EPSTRFEE R NO PNKTYUASHN!"
And that was all it took to make a dark figure rise out of the crowd. He held himself proudly and his mouth was cleansed of all grammatical errors. He held out his megaphone and started to shout, "How dare you disgrace my language!" He began to correct the errors. "This is a stick-up! I have come to take your money! You don't use commas, appostrophies or any form of punctuation!" The speaker of foul mouthed "txt tlk" fell to the floor in pain and perished due to the mysterious literate. The man then walked out, to the next city, and the next Noob in need of correction...

Ha ha, very good! I was wondering what "pnktyuashn" was.

Yes I was wondering that as well. Great story, I just had to share it with my friend. She ignored it though, go figure.

I was in an RP. Just minding my own business, RPing and such, when some noob enters. Filling out his application, I cringed at the amount of grammatrical errors in his profile. This is a similar entry:

nam: Hosa
age: tweny fo
abiltes: Cn wok on water, cn sht fr, cn blst da hel outta ppls.

As you can see I kicked him out. He said in his own little way that he would try better but his hearing was no better. His spelling and grammar were still terrible. What he meant to say was:

Name: Jose
Age: 24 (Or twenty-four, if you want to spell it out.)
Abilities: My character has the renoud ability to walk on water. He can also shoot fire and all out blast the hell out of people.

Well, my translation was no better but even still... he harrassed me for about two weeks and then gave up when I typed in the Clock Crew format. He had no idea what I was typing!

I can translate. It's saying "I don't use a comma, apostrophe, or punctuation."
But it's still pretty scary.

Man... I'm normally good with translating n00b, but I couldn't even get all of that. I am left wondering, though, what is Clock Crew format?

xd This was great, I didn't have a problem with "PNKTYUASHN." It did take me a second to get "EPSTRFEE," though.

Wow. Have you ever used text talk in a past life? Because that text talk was better than what I have seen. They can't even type text talk right.
