DragonAgeOrgins Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Whenever I see a player saying "LOL l2spell" or if they are throwing insults at each other. They will laugh at the smallest thing. Let's say in general someone doesn't throw in a period at end of their sentence" ROFL" do people really find mistake like this funny. Is their sense of humor that low, or is it an attempt to get other person mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanzoV Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 While spelling and grammar mistakes aren't the end of the world, it can demean whatever point you were trying to make. If it's worth saying (or typing), isn't it worth saying correctly? Just take a moment to spell-check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUXs Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Wut are you, a grammer not see?! Calm down...don't read too much into text. I LOL to express a smile, smirk, chuckle or to show some kind of emotion. NOBODY truly thinks I'm ROLLING on the floor if I ROFL! It just means I found the comment particularly funny.

jellosandwich Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 /facepalm You didn't get it? No, because he used incorrect spelling to lampoon people criticizing grammar. Spelling and grammar are not the same thing. It appears to be some sort of attempt at irony, but it's really quite terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my exact point, the whole over whelming need to "Prove" the other person has failed. By trying to either 'LOL" them into submission. Or pulling out a webster and reading word for word EXACTLY. Does it irate people so much really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khardune Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 If you can't understand someone because of a small grammar mistake or spelling mistake then I would say you'd have to be the bigger idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traugar Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) I really don't care about spelling/grammar. I understand that the purpose of language is to allow for communication. As long as we understand each other then I feel that it has served its purpose, and don't care if the spelling/grammar were perfect. On the other hand, when I see something that is totally incoherent I might point it out just to get the person to clarify their meaning.
