GESB: OOC Discussion

[Aluminator (Kit)]

Woo. Long one. I should not go this long without posting. Too much to respond and react to at once. Apologies for the text-wall.

[Myitt]

Parker, I love you, but if you don't change the word "conversating" to "conversing" I might have to deny your existence for all of eternity to prevent me from going absolutely insane.


Sorry, pet peeve of mine. *twitch*

It's things like this that remind me she's an English teacher. I wonder if most people they call grammar nazis are English teachers or some such.

Probably.  Although I'm a grammar Nazi.  And I get my butt kicked by my fellow paleontologist friend. 

[Terenia]

Besides, if you want to be specific, calling Parker out on the improper usage of the verb form of 'conversation' is actually more specific than just grammar. It's a conjugation and vocabulary issue. When I think of grammatical corrections I think more about the mechanics (commas, apostrophes, etc). Technically grammar implies diction and syntax, but I think that colloquially and connotatively speaking it generally applies to mechanics.

God help you all if I start nitpicking all of those mistakes.

[Chad32]

You know I did pretty well in English up until junior and senior year, and I've forgotten what some of those words mean.

[Terenia]

It's all good, I'm just being a smart ass. I didn't expect you to know all of them.

[Darth Revan]

Yeah, I'm mostly a grammar nazi as far as spelling and punctuation. I mean really, this is the Internet. If you're not too certain how to spell a word, how hard is it to just open a new window, go to Google, and start typing the word. As you type it, Google will automatically show you how it's spelled.

Or hell, you can go to www.dictionary.com and check it there. It doesn't take that long.

Believe me Jessi, we're all very glad you don't grade our posts.

[Terenia]

Haha, I'm glad I don't grade my own posts! As much as I try to write high quality stuff, I know I have my own fair share of errors.

[Shenmue654]

XD Terenia, I'd get a C+ at best. Maybe. My posts haven't been up to scratch with my writing for a loooong time. ;3

And poor Salem, trying to haphazardly work out how Mar's way of seeing aura works. x) Considering he doesn't have Mar's advantage of seeing everyone else as brighter than him (well, except another of his type), he's doing phenomenally.

And yeeess, Keshin. I'm starting to think Salem and Keshin have some kind of warped morally-grey friendship. :3

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

Given the circumstances, this seems like a good time to reiterate my post about Jessi being the Emperor...of Composition.  Dark lord of the text.

"You want this, don't you?" *Jessi pets the pencil setting on her armrest affectionately*  "The text is swelling in you now.  Take your Writer's utensil.  Use it.  I am illiterate.  Check me down with it.  Give in to your grammar!  With each passing moment you make yourself more my scribe."

[Terenia]

That's Empress, thank you very much.

XD


EDIT: This is a weird phenomena. Almost every post is about my character, and yet I don't actually have anything to directly reply to. o.O

[Chad32]

That is funny.

[Darth Revan]

Ossy, that was, by far and away, the coolest thing ever. +1 I busted up laughing at that. I'm sure I got some sideways looks when I laughed in the breakroom.

And poor Salem, trying to haphazardly work out how Mar's way of seeing aura works. x) Considering he doesn't have Mar's advantage of seeing everyone else as brighter than him (well, except another of his type), he's doing phenomenally.

Haha... yeah, I figure Salem'd perform fairly well with the sense, but chances are he'll have some trouble getting the actual flight and manipulation thing to work right.

And yeah, Salem and Keshin definitely have a bit of an... interesting "friendship." Strange how that seems to have formed, considering who they both are.

Haha. At least you know Terenia's created quite a stir at this little bar

[Darth Revan]

Off to work, I may be able to respond in a couple of hours on my break, but it's more likely I'll have to wait 'til my lunch.

[Shenmue654]

How is it that I never know where Ossanlin is at any given time? It reminds me of an incident where I Roleplayed while sleep-deprived over the phone and kept forgetting where the giant centaur man was. -_____-;;
