NOTE: I wrote this to be the personal blurb of my profile, but it was too long, so I put it here.


There are many who do not observe the proper English spelling and grammar rules while playing ROBLOX and speaking with others online. This is sometimes annoying to members of the shrinking minority of we who do chat using these guidelines. Of the group which generally types according to accepted techniques, there are those who criticize and insult other individuals for using many abbreviations and “internet slang.” I understand that some people find this to be distracting and annoying, and while I find many criticisms to be accurate, and some even humorous, I believe it is unfair to pick on players just for communicating in ways we disapprove of. ROBLOX is not a school environment, nor is it an essay to be graded. It is a website used for entertainment which should be played however we want, whether we choose to punctuate properly or not, and it should not be ruined for anyone by other individuals. In addition, many do not realize that a large percentage of the players who make no attempt whatsoever at typing correctly are usually younger children. These players often do not solicit our advice in the first place; they can let their teachers and parents tell them what to do. For those who cannot stand to let things be, just know that someone who becomes defensive because of your criticisms takes them as insults, so do not blame them or become angry. While you only waste your time and energy on those who ignore your corrections or do not care, that is what you deserve if you keep trying to change them. Furthermore, I find it ironic that so many of those who do take it upon themselves to enforce the laws of spelling and grammar often make frequent mistakes themselves, however, those who try but fail when attempting to write correctly should not be insulted either. I believe that any and all unsolicited corrections should be confirmed as correct before being announced, made in respectful ways, and made only to those who will receive them well.

However, these have only been my opinions and observations...

I also understand that some groups and places require the use of correct spelling and grammar, and that some friends might pick on each other in harmless and friendly ways.

I have no problem with that.
I really think that people should be allowed to do whatever they want on this game as long as they do not break ROBLOX rules, individual game/place rules, or infringe on the general rights of other people to have a good time and do what they want.

"LOL PEOPLE DONT HAVE TO USE GRAMMAR ALL THE TIME IDIOT"

I guess you didn't read my entire wall of text, but your statement is valid nonetheless.

I wrote my posts myself, but if you were talking about the comment above yours that spams a certain word, then yes, I think so.

I am not sure I know what you mean by what you wrote, but if you are saying my posts were offensive, that was not the intention at all. I was trying to share my opinion that people should not receive unsolicited advice and criticisms for the way they type/chat/talk on ROBLOX.

It's funny...
I think many of these comments just prove what I meant in my first post, about more than one of my statements.

Boreal,

You won't find anything here. Nobody will consider your argument valid.

Just to warn you.
