Grammar and its Proper Usage.

[Krawkyz]

Well, due to complaints we have temporary forum bans now due to comprehension of a post, so I have put together a miniscule guide on grammar.

Contractions
-Combine two words to make a more flowing sentence

Examples:
It is = It's; Can not/Cannot = Can't; Do not = Don't.

Possessive Nouns
-Nouns that claim an object.

Example:
Its (NOT IT'S); His; Her; bren's, their.

Punctuation
-Ending Sentence Punctuation
-Quotation
-Dashes
-Semi-colons/colons
-Comma
-Parentheses

Examples:
Ending Sentence Punctuation: I went to the market to buy a soda. Bren stopped me and punched me in the face! Why did he do that?
Quotation: Bren said, "You better stay out of this market! It's mine!"
Dashes: I was so mad that I -- my cell phone began to ring, but I didn't notice -- almost punched him back.
Semi-colons/colons: Bren devised a plan; in this plan included: going to the store, punching Krawkyz, coming back from the store.
Comma: Commas have many rules, but they often come before conjunctions, or in a series. They also come in appositives, an extra clause in a sentence such as this, to show it is one.
Parentheses: Evil bren and his many rules (I had already devised a plan of my own).

Prepositions / Prepositional Phrases
-Clauses that come before the main clause

Example:
Woah! Didn't see that coming!
Wow, what a joker.
While the bird jumped, I decided to spring my move.
Looking inside, I saw an evil portrait of bren hidden.

Capitalization
-A sentence starts with it.
-Proper Nouns are often capitalized.
-Certain proper nouns are not capitalized because of the nature of their name.

Example:
One day, Krawkyz found himself in an idiotic situation, again. Grammar.
One day, bren4q (name not capitalized) found himself, again.

Words that sound alike. (Courtesy of Ejay)
They're - They are (Ex: They're not Ejay!)
Their - Ownership of one or multiple people, or statement. (Ex: It's not theirs!)
There - A location (Ex: There! No, not there!)

You - A person not yourself you're referring to. (Ex: You)
Your - Ownership of a particular person, or statement of another. (Ex: Your humanity!)
You're - You are (Ex: You're beautiful.)

Mean - A average (2+4)/2 = 3
Mean - A harsh or unpleasant thing or action. (Ex: What a mean person!)
Mean - The point you're making (What do you mean Krawkyz's mom is beautiful?)

Use this to your advantage; I may add more later.

Don't get confused with There, Their and They're.

Well, due to complaints we have temporary forum bans now due to comprehension of a post

It's not going to be strictly enforced. But if certain individuals make absolutely zero effort to type coherently then action could be taken.

i grately aproov of dis i h8 it wen peepel dont yews grammer propurly.

your a hero krakwyz

No, but seriously, this is a fantastic new rule: kudos.

[Mister_Survival]

You approve of grammar yet your sentence was mostly misspelled and more so....

[Ejay845]

Don't get confused with There, Their and They're.

On that note ....

Words that sound alike.
They're - They are (Ex: They're griefing!)
Their - Ownership of one or multiple people, or statement. (Ex: It's their build.)
There - A location (Ex: He's over there!)

You - A person not yourself you're refering to. (Ex: Hey you!) If you dont know this, you should be in school. Not minecraft lol.
Your - Ownership of a particular person, or statement of another. (Ex: Your mom!)
You're - You are (Ex: You're ugly)

Mean - A average (Go to school. I'm not explaining it.)
Mean - A harsh or unpleasent thing or action. (Ex: Mrs. Bren is mean)
Mean - The point you're making (What do you mean Krawkyz's mom is a b----?)

Theres probably many mores, but these I could think of.
If you don't know basics like what "You" is or "There"
then you should be in school learning this crap. The times you
can slack, or I could slack would be in 5th grade , 7th grade, and I don't
know the rest because I'm only in 8th. But I didn't mention these grades for these reasons:

5th Grade - Mostly review but you kinda learn new things. I think, I forgot.
6th Grade - You learn important and essential things in this grade. They'll make you
go to "special" programs when you get to higher grades if you act like you're stupid and be lazy.
7th Grade - Super easy. You review and learn some important stuff but it's easy.
8th Grade - Apparently this is supposed to be the "hard" grade. It is, until you get the
swing of how things go. Then it's pretty easy as long as you're organized.  But you should
focus because now you're going onto High School.

Where I live all this is a lot more serious,
because the line from falling into gangs, drugs and violence, and staying in school and getting
a good education is very very thin. Heck just so you know. The school I go to people are usually getting shot or stabbed, and 66 people were *found* with HIV(theres probably more).


Welp anywho. Supposing most of you are adults or over the age of 16 and allowed to
get jobs so it kinda doesn't apply to you. But if you're under the age of 9 then you
really shouldn't be playing MC. This post shouldn't* be needed BUT- it is infact,
I've found no matter what grade you go to you can still be stupid. I know a college student
who can't spell "Didn't" lol...
My point is, if you're super young or in school you shouldn't spend the majority of your time on videogames.
Tis' all!

Come again for:
Chat Time with
EJAY 8 - 4 - 5

Until next time, cya later folks!

If you wanna know how old I am (which I wouldn't know why except curiosity) then click below![spoiler]My age is a number between 1 and 20. It's one of the 2 avergae ages of a average 8th grader.
It's the opposite of someone in their early 30s and the age after the funnest and funniest age (now a days)

I gave you tooo many hints. What is it?[/spoiler]

[Kenyor]

Well spotted Mister_Survival I have a new word for you; irony.

It doesn't mean "kind of like iron"...

[Glenn]

This' all great for people who actually have English as their first language, but understand, That people like me, who don't have it as their first language, may be making quite a few faults on grammar, due to not having enough lessons of it/not yet having English on school...

[kesteve]

Lol Kenyor, thought I was proofreading at college again.... While I'm here though, three periods means you skip something, while four says that you're ending your sentence after skipping something. ^_^ (0_0 and before I can post, Glenn does the same thing... lol.)

[Juwayyid]

You're better than Haze Glenn...

[Kidd2000]

You have a period in the title of the topic. It shouldn't be there.

[Kenyor]

Kesteve, you're venturing into uncertain territory now, there is no universally established rule across all English linguistic schools as to the correct usage of "three dots" (an ellipsis) or four dots in the situations you outlined. Three dots can be used to indicate an unfinished thought, or a "trailing off" in speech or thought. Terry Pratchett uses it in this manner constantly, and he is one of the most celebrated authors of all time.

I'm guessing you're basing your understanding of this rule on a writing policy held by a specific academic institution you're involved with, but I have never had any issue with my use of the ellipsis in this exact manner in any of my academic writing, so don't tread on me

[Krawkyz]

You have a period in the title of the topic. It shouldn't be there.

I was making a fragment for an effect. Such as this:
There were so many flowers! Blue, green, purple, red, orange!

Aslo, EJ, lern 2 spel.

Kenyor, there are three ways to use three dots (ellipsis)
One: To show you are starting/ending a quote in the middle of it.
"...and yet the flowers could never show their true strength..."
Two: To show a sudden change of setting
He fell to the ground...
...in another area around the world, things changed.
Three: To give a tone/mood
And yet, none could survive this catastrophe...

[Juwayyid]

I attempt to use the ... to show sarcasm and awkwardness...  (as used there)


I'm such a fraud!
