ALL READ THIS TOO

[Shadolf]

Now, the punctuation and grammar on these forums is horrible. It's a pain in the ass to try and understand what you are trying to say.

I understand that not everybody's native language is English, and that is an excuse for bad grammar, but not for punctuation.

Punctuation is pretty much the same in all languages. When you're done making one point, end the sentence, instead of going onto your second point. The second point can be the next sentence. There is no reason for something like this:

"hi im new what can i do to help with the game i really want to help because it looks like a really good game and can i just help a little bit because i want to do something to help with this game because i really want to see the game be good so can i do something then"

Like I said, that is a pain right in the ass to read and understand.

Look around, you're guaranteed to find examples of it. So please, if you are one of the people doing this, stop! Thanks.

And while I am at it, let me give you a little English language lesson. It's of a subject pronoun, I.

"I" is to be capitalized always, unlike other languages (yo, je, io, etc.). It is not "i," it's "I." Simple as that.

Another quick thing: Contractions

Some examples in English:

can't - cannot
didn't - did not
don't - do not
doesn't - does not
couldn't - could not
wouldn't - would not
shouldn't - should not
won't - will not
isn't - is not
I'm - I am
It's - it is (not to be confused with "its," which is used for possession [The dog broke its leg])

There, I'm out. Sorry if you guys are opposed to my "Nazism," if you will, but I'm not the only person who has a problem with it.

are grammatically incorrect contraction ok too? Like ain't or shouldn't've? And what about I've?

[Shadolf]

Yes, I forgot a few. There's too many to count.

Isn't shouldn't've correct, though? I know it's like three words, but I always thought it was okay.

And I don't mind ain't either.
