The most pointless and mildest vent I have to muster. How else can I put this without sounding elitist or snobby and make this seem like this came from a place beside having nothing better to do? But, I've been noticing throughout most RP's I'm joining. I'm catching a lot of typo's and mistakes that could be easily corrected through a single spellcheck run. Sure it won't correct the difference between 'then' and 'than'. It won't say that you have misused commas. Neither will it figure out your sentence structure is beyond confusing with big words just for the sake of it, or trying to come off as poetic but it ends up being an awkward mouthful to say aloud...But it will correct simple writing mistakes. [b]So why does no one seem to use it?[/b] :I That's what I've been pondering, because I know my writing ends up being flawed or overly wordy even after several looks and corrections. So it kills me seeing people acting so lazy. But I thought maybe other than examples given to me and my luck. Maybe it's better elsewhere, so having nothing better to do while listening to music. I decided to just go in the advanced section of this forum, went through EXACTLY twenty RP's. Went to a random page, usually the first or last. To see if I'd even need to search another page before I found easy mistakes. Took an average of 3 searches (posts), before at least finding one mistaken typo at best and nearly a dozen obvious mistakes at worst. This did NOT take me that long, to find errors in literally everything I looked through. And yes, this was ignoring people [b]"speling lik ths"[/b] in speech bubbles, but I do question how unrealistic it would be in a real life setting. But I digress. [s]And the fact that everyone here is apparently from the U.K or something.[/s] Plausible different spellings not included. (I'm also pretty sure I got it from 20 different people.) I'm not even the person that cares that much about mistakes in writing or inconsistencies in general. But I really do question how many roleplayers are actually rereading what they typed. I can logically see how other readers wouldn't notice and like the posts anyway. Because as long as it's close your brain fixes mistakes, but seriously some of this stuff can be discovered immediately with little effort. Oh no, I'm becoming the person I hate. I'm not a grammar nazi, I swear. *hides* >.<
