Punctuation (46)
Sire it doth seem to mine eyes that thy opinion is in error. T’is the wholesome mix that doth increase our joy in these conversations.
Yes Sire, but written in decipherable good English.
I never said that we should not all contribute, from wherever country we came, I only said that preferably, contributions should be in correct English, facilitating the task of the other readers to comprehend what is written.

I really, really don't mind that much.
Consideriing that I've seen some bad spelling by both English and American posters on other forums, I'm not going to start a crusade against European posters if they make grammatical errors - erm ,once in a while.

What's this? Shakespeare and Bible night?
Look, I'm not talking about articles for The Times here, it's just that an effort is appreciated. I'm a native English speaker, and am used to hearing the language mangled in dozens of different ways, but as long as a person is speaking (or writing) to the best of their ability (or close enough, anyway), I'll be perfectly happy.
I agree, everyone should try their best and not do a slapdash lousy job at hitting the keys. ESPECIALLY those who are native speakers!
On this note I had several communications, with a member here about 6 months ago.
His profile was an eye sore(excuse the expression)to read. Trying to help him, I suggested some commas, and ran his text through the spell check.
To NO avail.
Then I tried selling him the psychological angle. Like, how can you expect to meet someone here if you dont advertise yourself in an attractive way.
Your profile represents YOU.
Do you want Ladies to feel you are as poor a lover as you are a writer?

This is like an English movie on dvd saying English Language with English subtitles....uh??? I can understand if it was an American movie with English subtitles or even visa versa!
Reistere irritum est. Praeparate vos ad translationem in modum subiunctivum!
( Resistance is futile. Prepare to be assimilated into the subjunctive!)
Didn't you know that "Men are from Troy, Women are from Greece" ( a book by Virgil....%D

you r refering to wedy and i have written and spoe english since i was taught to do so i do leave gaps between the words and now to the main reason in my writing for no commas and full stops is that half the time the buttons on my steam driven eddison computer do not function i this then a reason for me not to post if you read it you will do the punctuation for your self let me know please i do attempt to use the comma& full stop but it does not alwas work so i just ignore them now but by leaving gaps its readable
is that seriouse to me this looks like a german speaking bad english ..
Of course it's not serious. It's a joke.
Good Morning please reread my profile took your advice and did it on a friends computer let me no if it meets your approval now as it seems to be read and replyed to by a lot of ladies but being english i expect to be criticized by my peers and willingly accept the same and endeavour to do better i write not quick but think quick and have not the ability to type at the speed of you ladies and gent of great experience and ability with computers so please patience please remember patience is a virtue few have butmaybe you do>>>>
Hardly a good morning. But anyway, good morning to you.
I'm at work now, so I had better do something constructive.
See you later *sticks himself in a cannon and blasts himself through the wall*

Hey Wed, well I wasn't referring just to you, but I'd be lying if I said that you hadn't popped into my head .
Have you considered getting a keyboard that you can just plug into your laptop? If it's really old and doesn't have USB ports, you'd need one with a PS/2 connection. Either way, you can get them for about €15.

Ah, no.
One of my many vices is that I do not like repeating myself. So Wed, please read this very carefully:
I stood up for you when you were getting insulted, BUT I will also stand against you when you insult others.
Crystal?

I vote yes, emphatically. It doesn't have to be perfect (god knows, it usually isn't) but it adds meaning and clarity to the sentence.
