"Maybe i'll just go somewhere where people will just reply to the things i actually write instead of being hung up in their own stupid little worlds of perfect grammar."
People did reply to what you wrote. You wrote something almost wholly unintelligible, and they responded by telling you as much.

If this thread doesn't move back into some sort of civilized discussion about the original topic soon, I'll just lock it and let it die a nice quiet death.
Elna: I said so in your original Officers' Lounge thread, but I'll add it here as well: Welcome to Flare. I do hope that you will choose to stay with us and join our little circle of insanity and inanity. That said, there are a couple things about this place that you should be aware of.
First, this place is fairly friendly and tight-knit community. If you search through the old threads of the Officers' Lounge, you will see this quite plainly. You'll also note that there is a bit of good-natured ribbing amongst us. So, for the most part, don't take the harsh remarks at face value as an insult. A good amount of the time, it's just a joke (and it is rather unfortunate that sarcasm and the tone of humor do not carry well on the Internet).
Second, while there aren't any official rules on the subject, there are some standards about posting here (think of them as common law). It is simply a fact that posts that use capitalization, puncuation, and paragraphing and avoid Internet subbing (like using "2" for "to" or "u" for "you") are easier to follow and understand. It makes for a smoother read and clarity of thought.
The posters in this thread aren't harping on your typing for the sake of ragging on the newbie. It's simply to let you know that we're having trouble following you. I'll admit that I had trouble reading through some of your earlier posts in this thread. We're asking you to change your typing so that we can hold a discussion with you.

Well normally i can type like a normal human being like i am now, it's just that i do have instant messenger and also, i have a habit of typing fast so my words get muddled up a bit. My first language is english thank you very much whoever that was, and in english exams you dont type so i'll have no problems placing my letters in the right order in my words!! And yes i did take it personally and i dont appreciate you being wuite so nasty about it, maybe you could have said it in a nicer way that you didnt understand what i wrote, like captain mike did and i wouldnt have had to get all nasty and defensive.
