OMG! How elitist! O___O;


This applies to all forms of writing and everyone out there who wants to half-ass their work in whatever way. Seriously, those people make life painful, and not just for English teachers and their pets. Nothing bothers me more than written work that looks like it came out of a <some language> to English translator. You want someone to proofread a paper for you? Make their life easier by doing your own proofing before you hand it to them. Use spell check and grammar check responsibly. Neither feature is foolproof. You will make lives easier. Don't forget to tell the person what direction your paper is supposed to be headed in, just in case.


Then there is my contempt for the genre based almost entirely on the Internetz: fanfiction. That is, poor fanfiction. Self-insertion is BAD. Mary/Gary Sue/Stu is BAD. Inserting inappropriate romaji (i.e. REEH?! She's so KOWAII!) into your English fanfiction is a CRIME punishable by DEATH (at least, I will strive to make it that way). I wish more people would respect a character's (or a real person's--!)original sexual orientation. What is it with making everyone gay or lesbian? Or ' pairings' with four or five people? I'm not even going to touch crossovers. Too many people out there wouldn't know ' plausible' if it slapped them in the face and then set their lovely fanfiction on fire.


There is role playing too, but this rant is getting too long.


So now I have a stamp, the product of my general contempt for poor writing, whether it's horrid grammar or immature content. Whee.

Often times, I have people ask me questions on DA where I literally can't understand what they're saying. Please stop text-typing! :stare:

If you don't check grammar, how do you expect to fill out a job resume or even write a business letter if need be? You know if you make one grammatical error on a resume, they throw it out because they assume you're stupid. It's true, they want educated people in the workforce. If you don't use grammar properly you are deemed as uneducated.

Not all self-inserts are bad. Just most of them... I'm trying to see if I can break the trend of bad self-insert fictions. How, you may ask? By...WRITING A GOOD ONE FOR ONCE!:dummy:

I hate it when people spell things so wrong that you can't even understand it (Like on youtube) and when someone asks them to use english they type a reply and they act like its no big deal,everyone can read my comment!-_-'
