My toughts are.

I think you atleast need to use a somewhat easy to understand grammar when writing a roleplay. You don't literally need to know every word that is known by man to even create a roleplay, but anyways, like I said I think grammar is just like a ennhacement for your roleplay to make it look more "professional".

You can leave your thoughts about grammar in this thread.

My thoughts are that you forgot the subject in the title. Also, because it's a title, you're supposed to capitalize all important words, including "about" and "grammar", and you probably didn't really need that period.

Well, most role play communities(including this one) frown upon bad grammar, but it's not bad if it's pretty decent sized(at least 3 paragraphs) and it has one maybe two grammatical errors that aren't completely obvious like misspelling an easy word such as plot or something.

Here's your friendly every day reminder that wording is equally as important to grammar as spelling and punctuation.

Yes, you don't need to know every word in the English language to make a RP, but if find yourself using a word like say... "interesting" twenty times, it's time to crack open a thesaurus

Grammar is useful, definitely. I get frustrated when I see a teenager who's a native English speaker get their words mixed up or use apostrophes in the wrong places, when I see them misspelling... Foreigners are obviously excused. If they can almost master two languages then they're probably better with grammar (generally) than all of us, even if they make mistakes.

But yeah. Native speaking teens and older have no excuse unless they have a learning disability.

Timpookie comes in, says something that sounds arrogant and tots off.

So, I take it you have a learning disability, due to you beginning a sentence with a conjunction, lack of a capital letter and lack of end punctuation?

"are you on your time of the month again?"

I would much appreciate a capital "a" in the beginning of that sentence.

Tim was never funny.

He is just your average serious dude, which likes to correct everyone when it comes to grammar.

"tim annoys me

That sentence structure is actually rather correct. Of course, that is excluding the lack of capital letters and periods. Additionally, the word "isn't" is spelt with an apostrophe, not without.

Instead of "which", I believe that the correct term is "who". It's either "who" or "whom", the rules for that are rather funny.

It would be who, because he's using you as the subject, rather than an object.

"Who/whom" is the only instance that I can think of in the English language that has a different objective form than subjective form. Lots of other languages have distinctions like that, sometimes even more specific, but for whatever reason that rule doesn't exist in English aside from one instance.

Our only hope is to combat Tim with perfect grammar.

Actually, perfect grammar would probably make Tim happier.
