I guess this goes to new people mostly. Can you use it please? If only to stop cunts thinking they're ever so brilliant and clever when they correct you. Don't worry about getting it in the right place, I go for the throwing in commas at random approach, with the occasional semi-colon; if only to make my self look cleverer than I am.

I do sort of understand why people point it out sometimes. It can make a big wall of text infinitely more readable.

Same goes with splitting up big blocks into paragraphs. Like this.

Thankyou. Lots of love. -fB.

ifeelthatisbeingaimedatme.

nah. you're not too bad leefer. Better than you used to be anyway. You might have your own brand of punctuation and spelling, but it tends to be fairly readable.

I draw the line at fucking txt spk though. Stick that shit in your mouth. It's not like you've got a limited space to post with.

That includes IMO.

That should read.....Youwouldbefuckingrightthen.

 Still too much use of the spurious apostrophe for my taste, better to miss them out than add them in.

 

that's just you being a cunt though. It's not as if someone using an apostrophe for a plural or on a possessive its makes it unreadable is it?

haha I feel i should probably apologise for my first few posts then  :-[

imo i ave alwayz thaught de content of da post is more importand dan de grammer

Whats with the 'fB' bit at the end?

It was especially for you.

And how about using some capital letters. It's not hard to press that 'shift' key.

Not something to get anal about, the lack of a capital can often be a stylistic choice. Although I agree, all small letters in a big long post is a bit silly.

:D

Thats West Indian!....now try saying Bear Can...without sounding like a West Indian saying bacon.

but it's my trademark

anyway, nobody reads my posts.

what you jibberjabbering about? People with less than 1000 posts don't really deserve an input on such matters.

Not unreadable...just offensive to the English language.

Text speak is a perfectly acceptable form of communication,get with the times Grandads!

don't make me quit again

oh no, sonic might go cry in the corner.

Text speak is a perfectly acceptable form of communication when texting.

Text speak is for spazzers. No offence.

what you jibberjabbering about? People with less than 10000 posts don't really deserve an input on such matters.

I hear nobody with less than 20915 posts can have an opinion. Is that true mein fuhrer?

nazi mods

Yeah. Who do they think they are kidding.

*fewer

*less

You'd be able to vote on whether less or fewer is correct if this were a democracy.

Maybe we should have a vote on whether the TEF should be a democracy?

M: Oh, has there been a general election, then, Mr. Blackadder?

E: Indeed there has, Mrs. Miggins.

M: Oh, well, I never heard about it.

E: Well of course you didn't; you're not eligible to vote.

M: Well, why not?

E: Because virtually no-one is: women, peasants, (looks at Baldrick)
chimpanzees (Baldrick looks behind himself, trying to see the animal),
lunatics, Lords...

B: That's not true -- Lord Nelson's got a vote!

E: He's got a *boat*, Baldrick. Marvelous thing, democracy. Look at
Manchester: population, 60,000; electoral roll, 3.

M: Well, I may have the brain the size of a sultana(sp?)...

E: Correct...

M: ...but it hardly seems fair to me.

E: Of course it's not fair -- and a damn good thing too. Give the like of
Baldrick the vote and we'll be back to cavorting druids, death by
stoning, and dung for dinner.

I will write how I want to, if you dont fucking like it then fuck off and ban me you nazi cunt

*don't.

dont you fucking start as well

I don't think you've got much to worry about, you even used a comma there.

*Don't.

meh !


tell you what is more annoying, is the threads that disintegrate into a load of fucking driveling puns if you want to get your nazi hat on

That doesn't seem to happen as much any more. Has the golden age of the pun gone the same way as the manatee?

lets fucking hope

Neville says otherwise.

I must say, I quite like the pun threads.

I quite like them too, mostly because I'm fucking rubbish at coming up with puns so I'm always a bit impressed.

I guess Fred hates them for a similar reason?

bores me shitless

 :)

Excellent work Cliff.

I'm disappointed to hear that Fred, I have the same thoughts on posters who type foul language

(and it's drivelling, by the way)  :)

This thread really isn't going to work out well, is it?

The thing is Sam, with the exception of the obvious trolls, and what lies within the realms of legality and decency (racism etc), then people should feel that they can post in any way they see fit.

To critisise posters for poor grammar/spelling is wrong in my opinion.

Another example of this forum being turned into some kind of private members club

Just tell them all to fuck off back to thisis and be done with it.

That was a joke by the way :)

But thats my point Nev

I dont like the pun threads, but I dont make an issue of it

You dont like the swearing but you dont make an issue of it

We just accept it as part of the forum.

The same thing should go for threads that are not written in the Queen's English

To highlight it in a separate thread like some kind of rule I found quite patronising

I'm not bothered about grammar because I think everyone makes the occasional mistake due to being human and all. It's not as if they're doing it deliberately, well......

The reason I use TEF (too much) because we talk about Swindon Town. Apart from things like racism, everything else is irrelevant and that includes swearing, grammar, puns, whatever...

A 4 page spelling and grammar thread. Wow TEF is a riot today.

Spelling, grammer - who cares. But I do find text speak hard to read.

That said, I just ignore or poke fun at the text speakerers.

Understood and agreed Fred.

fb - can you 'unsticky' this please ?

Of course it's a private members club. Private for people who aren't degenerate cunt mongs from thisis. Why don't you fuck off there? You can write in unbroken walls of text speak all you want and nobody will care.

Go fuck yourself Ben, who fucking made you god, looking down from your fucking ivory tower ?

Fuck off. I wouldn't slaughter the thousands of long nosed land manatees needed to make a tower. That's barbaric.

FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!

 :D

You don't like political threads and you DO* make an issue of it.


















* capitals deliberately used for emphasis.

I prefer italics for emphasis.

aren't these argument threads getting a bit tedious?

i don't like emphasis on words. i prefer my sentences to be dull and monotonous to echo my life

we all like and dislike different things about this forum.
manatees and the cheese thing does my nut, but hey ho.
and this is not a pop at anyone or anything ,but i do think the forum has slid downwards a bit lately.
will probably pick up again,as the season starts tomorrow

But it's ok to force swearing and puns on others?

Nah, crap argument Andy.

One thing is for certain, if you don't like something on a forum, stop reading and don't get involved..

I fucking hate rhymes, you bastard.

Will you please stop listening to Leonard Cohen?

God you dont half talk bollocks when you are pissed Alan

i'm listening to folk implosion



anyway leonard cohen is great

Hey, I worked from 7am until 9:45pm today. I've only been in for half an hour. I'm on my first can of Co-op Strong Export Ale.

Are you pissed? Perhaps your perception is somewhat skewed my friend...

I agree with this. I can't see any apparent reason why though. It just seems to have lost the 'fun' lately.

I have had the shits and throwing up for 2 days

I have had a half pint of milk

Delirium then.

Get better soon honey xxx

meh

I just enjoyed an ice cream

what flavour was it?

Full stop at the end of the sentence, please.

Was it nice?

a) fuck off.

b) yep.

Every thread just ends the same that is what i have found. It goes like this, topic starts pun is made Jfw makes silly comment then everyone licks her ass then alan will take offence and blame tony blair while in the meantime sippo tells us how boring the thread is.

i still want to know what flavour/type/brand of ice cream it was.

So you're saying we should ban Alan? Could be the way forward.

He makes me laugh though

Ahh sorry. it was a cheap tesco multipack rip off of a standard Corneto. Vanilla, chocolate nuts on top, cone.

Delicious.

What are you on about? i enjoy correcting you Benjamin.
