Bump for the altercation I just had in the BB forum.

FWIW, if you’re posting on these forums and don’t capitalize where appropriate, don’t punctuate, don’t use paragraphs and don’t attempt to spell correctly, I don’t read your posts. Skip right over 'em.
So just think, you could be telling the funniest joke ever, revealing the secret of how to understand women, laying out plans for how to build a nuclear weapon in your basement, proving that Mike Mentzer’s ghost has sex with Elvis’ ghost at Graceland, and offer free Workout Surge to all who ask and…I’d never know it.
ill never care
how about you stop trying to seem so fucking important with your grammar captain spellcheck. not everyone takes the same approach to posting on T-Nation as they would a research paper.
I don’t think Push is trying to be the Grammar police so much as he’s trying to inform lots of posters that he doesn’t even read your posts if you don’t punctuate and capitalize correctly. He’s also far from being the only poster who does this; I skip posts regularly if they’re not fairly well written.
Now, do you care? You don’t have to. But just remember that there are many professionals on this board, and next time you (or anybody) asks for advice, be it for lifting, finances, women, or whatever, these pro’s will often skip right over your post if you write lazy English. When they could’ve saved you some time and trouble with two quick paragraphs, you’ll instead get nothing just because you were too lazy to write in correct English.
Invariably, we hear “it’s not a research paper, geez”. Well son, it’s not difficult or time-consuming to press the “SHIFT” key while you type and then give your post a quick once-over before you click “SUBMIT” either.
But again, nobody’s forcing you to do this, just like nobody is forcing me to attempt to read the text-vomit that’s supposed to pass as English nowadays.[/quote]
Is this Push’s Cheerleader??
Not only is capitalization a beef with me, but so is punctuation, the use of texting language on a forum, the use of “anyways” as well as “your” when you mean “you’re”.
I’ll bet some of you who complained when the Ebonics issue was in the news are the very same people who use the aforementioned disgraceful English butchery.
lol
“the internet is the only place i can show off my grammar skills so i feel the need to correct everyone who misues a semi-colon or makes a run-on sentence.”

No, THIS is Push’s cheerleader. (Note the proper use of capitalization)[/quote]
Ok, but I noticed an overuse of capitals in “THIS”, but i digress. Anyhow, nice picture, Im sure she’s been your cheerleader once or one-hundred times. Lucky bastard…
