Are you tired of "txt tlk"? Do you notice the absence of apostrophes? Do you know the proper use of the Shift key? If so, sign up for the Gaian Grammar Guild and give your eyes a rest.


It seems someone kicked the n00b off the keyboard and actually wrote a comprehensible and literate description for the Guild Spotlight.

Wow... it's a welcome change from that laughable spotlight that is now on the guild's front page with a disclaimer attached to it.

Between Yami and myself, we figured out how to find the guy who wrote it up, and she gave the person something to replace it with. 3nodding

Actually, I found the original spot light description to be quite funny and it sparked my curiosity and so I joined. Hopefully my time here will improve my spelling. mrgreen

Yay! Now it's actually legible. xD
But the last one was kind of funny.

Yeah... I must admit, it was.

It was supposed to be funny. A joke. But, nobody thought of it as a joke.

Do you mean the first description?

Here's what I thought of the first sentence.

Want of talk good?

I see three possible errors here. Three is an unusually high number of mistakes in a description about a literate guild, so I wondered if this could have been intentional. It could've have been done so for comic effect, some sort of an "oxymoron." Since it was advertising a literate guild, it was pretty funny to see a description with errors.

Anyway, here are the mistakes I saw:
arrow Of course, the "of."
arrow Shouldn't it be "well" instead of "good?"
arrow Isn't it more proper to start the question with "Do you..."

I'm not sure about these, but that's what I assume to be the mistakes.

I contacted the powers-that-be and performed the ritual sacrifices. Behold, a miracle has occurred. The guild is no longer being besmirched.

The Fray
"She Is"

She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted

Do not get me wrong
I cannot wait for you to come home
For now, you're not here and I'm not there
It's like we're on our own


do not get me wrong; I cannot wait for you to come home; for now you're not here and I'm not there; it's like we're on our own

I am so glad that somebody made a new description for the guild. That n00b deserved to be kicked out of whatever department writes guild descriptions. Ha-ha.
