heh heh yea, Sora doens't have PROPER proper grammar, but Sora finds that too boring XP

Sensible Cricket 05-26-2010 11:51 PM

I find it really difficult to read things that aren't written in proper grammar. And it's hard even to process things that are written in excessive third-person point of view.

YamiSora 05-26-2010 11:55 PM

ah well, people have different ways of understanding things XP
and in RP's Sora doesn't do third person

Sensible Cricket 05-26-2010 11:56 PM

Yeah, I guess so. But I always thought that English was English, and there was a 'right' way to speak it and a 'wrong' way to speak it.

But that's what I get for being a foreigner, I guess.

YamiSora 05-27-2010 12:00 AM

ah true true, when Sora went to Japan for japanese class trip, Sora thought that with the japanese language, but the japanese kept saying, just talk, don't think about as right or wrong XDD
er.....at least the teenagers anyways LMAO old people might think otherwise

Sensible Cricket 05-27-2010 12:05 AM

Well yes, when studying a foreign language you should just talk without worrying about making mistakes--that way you can practice and -be- corrected if you /do/ make a mistake. But there's still a wrong way to speak and a right way to speak. Otherwise, what would the point of having a class for it be--just talk and you get an A, right? No. You make mistakes, you get your grade marked down.

Also, this is English. Not Japanese. Nor is it funny for you to imply that I'm old. I'm about the same age as you, and I still think that it's important to speak properly. After all, if we didn't have a manner of standardisation to the language, it wouldn't be a language and we wouldn't be able to understand each other. Some mistakes can -entirely- change what you're trying to say.

YamiSora 05-27-2010 12:07 AM

well Sora doesn't believe so, but people have a right to say their feelings about it....

Sensible Cricket 05-27-2010 12:08 AM

You don't believe in a fact? Facts aren't a matter of 'feelings'. If you refused to believe that the world was round, that wouldn't make the earth flat. It would make you a fool. Same concept.

YamiSora 05-27-2010 12:16 AM

but there are so many ways that people talk in english, what makes which one proper English as a fact? slang, hillbilly talk, trucker talk, third person, first person, or English from england english?

Sora doesn't believe talking is fact....it's just how people talk....

Liztress 05-27-2010 12:19 AM

Regardless, let's not let this get too heated. I don't think Kent or Hadsvich would be pleased to see anything get out of hand. Not that I think you guys would fight or anything.

Hadsvich 05-27-2010 12:21 AM

Yeah, we wouldn't.
Please, guys, we meant this thread for fun, not for debates. x'3

Sensible Cricket 05-27-2010 12:22 AM

English is taught in school for a reason. That is 'proper', that is the standard, and that is the way it is meant to be spoken. All the rest is doing it wrong, and doing it wrong intentionally is like putting your clothes on inside out and then getting surprised when people laugh at you.

I don't want to start drama in here, though, and I definitely don't want Hadsvich mad at me, so here's a helpful link, maybe you can start learning? English grammar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Liztress 05-27-2010 12:24 AM

Hey Hadsvich. How was dinner?

Sensible Cricket 05-27-2010 12:24 AM

Yes, yes, welcome back. Did you enjoy your meal? ^_^

YamiSora 05-27-2010 12:28 AM

Sora was just saying what he felt about english......didn't want an argument....Sora hates those

Kent 05-27-2010 12:28 AM

Sense, please don't be rude. :C Who knows, Sora might speak perfectly.
I'm sure he knows what proper grammar is.

Anywho, dinner was okay~ I wish the chicken was softer though. ; 3;

Hadsvich 05-27-2010 12:29 AM

It was good~ I had chicken and potatoes with rice~ o wo <3

Sensible Cricket 05-27-2010 12:32 AM

I'm certainly not trying to be rude, and I'm definitely not trying to argue. I just don't understand how someone can 'feel differently' about a fact. What if I 'felt' that this site was named Yumeh-Land?

That and it makes my eyes and brain hurt to try and read bad grammar and chatspeak. That's why I play on Menewsha instead of other places, but if this is going the way of Gaia I guess I ought to find a different site to hang out on.

YamiSora 05-27-2010 12:32 AM

Sora is sorry to all for that unpleasant site of words *bows*

Liztress 05-27-2010 12:35 AM

Sounds better than what I had for dinner. o.o

Sensible Cricket 05-27-2010 12:35 AM

...This...is why I prefer for people to use proper grammar. I quite honestly have no idea what you were trying to say there, Sora.

I believe that Sora was apologizing for his typing being the way it is.

Kent 05-27-2010 12:41 AM

@Sense - Everyone has their own opinions, and it would be nice if they were respected, even if they were wrong. I'd be okay with it if you 'felt' this site was Yumeh-Land. X3 Facts aren't always believed, after all.

And I agree it's a little difficult to read, but everyone has the right to write however they want. X3
So, I can get used to it.

@Sora - It's fine, Sora~ X3 Don't worry about it. <3

@Liztress - Oh? What did you have for dinner? O:

Sensible Cricket 05-27-2010 12:41 AM

Ah. I...really can't understand that sentence. But it's all right. ^^; I mean it's not like he's been trying to rile anyone. Except for when he started saying very rude things about me, but meh. I'm not too bothered about that, and if the worst he can do is call me 'old', then I guess I'm all right.

YamiSora 05-27-2010 12:41 AM

actually Sora was trying to apologize for the the whole argument on page 21 ^^'

whoa whoa whoa, when did Sora say rude things about you Cricket?
