Important notice from the GRAMMAR POLICE. Plz read. This means you.

It's not like our modus operandi is not well known around Sims forums.  Why n00bs come to MATY and feel that somehow the MATY culture just doesn't apply to them, because they're so speshul, is beyond my comprehension.

I mean, LOOK at this:

SimplyComplex and the rest of the please overlook my behavior/spelling/or what the fuck ever crew should take notes. MATY is full of knowledge and information however you will get more from observing rather than pressuring or ass kissing.

One last thing, you will never ever, ever fucking win. So give in or get out.

It's a parody - it's like one sheep trying to spork another sheep, for BEING a sheep.  No recognition that they're both mutton kebabs.

Most of us know using a conjunction to start a sentence is bad form in proper English and grammar. Conjunctions are used to connect words not start sentences.


EDIT: Corrected my own use of Conjunction at the start of a sentence. Stoopid me.

But we do it anyway.

On the other hand, a preposition is a bad thing to end a sentence with.

This is an outdated rule and something that can be used occasionally for effect. I would question your comma use in that sentence, bee tee double u.

What next, arguing that we should adopt the new spelling of "cooky?"

[msalwaysright]

I'm finding it incredibly ironic that it either refuses to capitalize the 'I', or leaves it out of the sentence altogether, but is so obviously full of self importance.
Why this aversion to giving the personal pronoun it's proper due, while insisting on special treatment for itself?

What manner of psychosis is this? Someone with learnings of psychology please explain.

Did someone miss that mickeyjr started that sentence with a conjunction?  On purpose?

Gotta love it!

I had always thought it was spelled "kooky". Though now I crave a cookie.

Very well, have it your way.  Corrected.  Now you'll likely point out that this post does not include complete sentences.  There is some license to use conversational speech constructions, lolcat speak, and other "non-standard" forms of phrasing.  You have to know when this is appropriate in the given cultural context.  Similarly, you might want to consider the appropriateness of strangers coming into your house to criticise your table manners.

I have, this time, picked up my fork in "deference" (and I use the word advisedly) to your sensibilities.  Pray don't make me use it.

LOL, yes I did. Talk about noobism. I should have started it with however or something like that. I wasn't paying attention and it bit me in the ass.

P&L at me. Teach me for correcting someone. I think I'll go LURK MOAR.

No, I screwed up using "Yet". I will pay for it I'm sure.

Campaigning is dangerous, based on precedent, since it may bite you in the ass. On the other hand, bribery is always a good strategery.

Aw, man... I figured you did it intentionally.  You should have taken the ball and run with it.  Still, no one seems to have noticed, or they'd have given you shit for it.

And here I was assuming that it was a fuck up. Nice try, though, Hook.

It turns out it WAS a fuck up, and a glorious one at that.  Complaining about starting a sentence with a conjunction while starting that very same complaint with a conjunction.  How good does it get? I mean, NO one fucks up THAT badly.

I really wish you didn't ask, because now I have to muse over it.

According to handwriting analysis, the ‘I' is in relation to the parental influence. It is the height of the upper letters that foretell of someone's level of self-importance.

For instance, a written capital ‘I' that is closed on the top, suggests a person that is maternally influenced; if closed at the bottom, the influence is fraternal  paternal - closed at both ends or not closed at all should be apparent at this point, and a straight ‘I' in handwriting is a sign of an orphan or someone who feels no connection to their parents.

Perhaps the refusal to capitalize one's ‘I' in type has something to do with defiance against one's parents, and a need to prove and enforce upon one's own individuality, which almost seems to be the case here.

[Hook]

Hm, sounds like numerology to me.  I assume you mean "paternal" rather than "fraternal"... that one confused me a bit at first.

Perhaps you can supply pics of said differences.  I can't visualize them from your descriptions.

Yes. However, my noobism hasn't been on the scale of some of the other noobs. I might put my foot in my mouth, as above, but I know when to own up and shut up. My last thread taught me that. Think it is time for me to go back into LURK MOAR mode for a while.

My bad. Corrected, and thanks.

Is this what you meant?

[Soggy Fox]

*laughs* I suppose it could, if not for the fact that its watermelon on the avatar's head, not a kumquat at all.  The point I was attempting to make to the now banished annoyance was that there is -no- excuse for glaring spelling and punctuation marks.  Even being dyslexic isn't an excuse.

[Frankenbeasley]

Psst. Hook. We know who you are, your lecherness. You don't need to sign your posts. Ta ta now.

I'm reasonably sure that the Hookster is aware that signing his posts is not obligatory. I am, furthermore, pretty much certain that he chooses to sign his posts. I am also confident that Hook is grown up enough for you to be explicit with your comments. If you want to say: "Hook, stop signing your posts!" then simply say it. This coy, sly obfuscation is beneath you and, might I add, disrespectful given the years of e-lechery that have been so selflessly provided by the esteemed former Senator.

[Zaphod Beeblebrox]

Ah, this is why even though I've been in the Simming communities since the dawning of Sim time, I rarely post unless there's something important to say (or something random, as this shit-thread obviously dictates) because who wants to look like a tard on the internets?  Only a...well, tard.

One should always associate one's self with a forum's etiquette before becoming a full-fledged member in order to look a little less like a speshul snowflake.  It's also known as LURK MOAR as has been pointed out, time and time again!

(I used to be an administrator on several forums and am an insane Grammar Nazi according to my speshul husband.)
