Dark Mousy Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Some people are reasonable and know how to spell and use proper grammar and can argue with you based on facts. Not just "This card sucks, bad OCG, bad pic, etc., etc." or "This thread is stupid", and just plain BS. I feel we have a lack of these types of people. Then again, on the other hand, OMGAKITTY wasn't too fun to deal with. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemniscate Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 OMGAKITTY isn't really the best example of someone intelligent.I don't honestly understand the point of this thread, other than to discuss the stupidity of YCM, and how everyone is sad when people like HORUS, OMGAKITTY, and Dark are banned.

They make a show because they think it is cool. Showing immaturity as a fun/cool factor is indeed un-intelligible, but is defiantly deviant. Having proper grammrar isn't a sign of intelligence, just a mere sign of understanding capability. You can teach a horse to drink, but he has to learn that you need water to survive.

2sick4u Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Isn't Dark the guy who once thought eating animals whilst being human was the same as Cannibalism? Yeah. I never thought he was intelligent, either. Needless to say. Grammar is more symbolic of patience and preference than something that reflects one's ability to be literate, or in your synopsis, intelligent.

Raelen Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Look at my definition of intelligent people. I'm pretty sure OMGAKITTY used proper grammar. Just because you use proper grammar, it doesn't mean you're more intelligent than those who don't.Most YCMers who use bad grammar do so because they're extremely lazy. ^_^ Judging people's intelligence based on their grammar is pretty dumb.

Sploda Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 There is no clear definition of Intelligence. It all depends on your point of view. You may call a Hobo an unintelligent dimwit, when he has graduated from High School but ran into some Finacial trouble and was forced onto the streets. You can't define Intelligence but you can define a persons ability to learn. its called IQ.Sorry. I don't have a good English term that describes people who can use proper grammar.

No, your thinking to literally.You touched the stove and it hurt, therefore if you don't want to get hurt then you don't touch the stove.You learned this because you were curious about what would happen if you did it.The brain learns things in different pereptions. By not only listening to something or reading somthing but also doing it, hands on, physical perception all three perception being done to learn one thing you actually learn something it will never leave your memory because the brain took it in through more than one variable. Instinct has to be taught. Survival instinct has to be taught. You are not born with this natural perception of the world. You learn it through trial and error.

Larxene Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Having proper grammar does not make you intelligent. And on the other hand, there are some people who DON'T use proper grammar who are intelligent. I've known quite a few of both, but I highly prefer people who can use at least decent grammar. Half the time, I'll refuse to respond to anyone who abbreviates everything that they type, like you to u, or too/to to 2. It sickens me to read things like that.

Change the cliche of YCM and you will have what you desire.Right now YCM focuses towards pre-teens, the likelyhood of getting coherent speaking members is slim to none.

Dark Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Just because you use proper grammar, it doesn't mean you're more intelligent than those who don't. Thank you. Proper grammar should not constitute for intelligence, although it plays a big role in first impressions. If someone comes up to me "takln liek dis n stuf", I'm probably going to think they are a retarded idiot, like more than half the population of YCM. Once I actually learn more about them, maybe I'll change my opinion. But, for the majority, "takln liek dis n stuf" usually means you are an idiot.
