Moderators should at least be literate, right?

[PrometheusMFD]

Yes, I am completely aware of that.

But just because it is the internet and nobody knows who we truly are, doesn't mean we have to resort to the blithering idiots (such as those who designed Sony batteries and power cords) that also access this grand product of humen design.

[The Dark One]

Grammar is a good thing.

 

Notice, that is an entirely different animal than:

 

gramer isa goo dtng!!!!!!!11!!!1!1!!1!1!

 

I think Mods should know how to write legible sentences. They don't have to be master craftsmen. They don't have to be able to diagram a sentence. (Though it's pretty sad if they can't, assuming that we're employing Mods that are at least old enough to have received a High School education.) They just need to take the time to spell at least the majority of the words in any particular sentence correctly, as well aas use proper capitalization and punctuation.

 

Also, tonisanoob needs to learn how to speak.

You spelt 'human' wrong. That's not good grammar. Go take a SAT to prove that you belong on a children's card forum.

[Bloodrun]

Looky here leaf, thats a tea.

 

I dont have time to sit, and type out a college style response, I have stuff to do.

And for me to be able to do what I have to do in real life, and take care of CC, I dont have time to nit pick.

 

Besides, get a life, and learn that internet isnt serious business -.-

 

 

 

If you weren't talking about me, haha.. sorry

Volunteers usually can do the job, regardless of what the hirer thinks. Here, you have been selected by YCMaker and the previous mods personally. Therefore, they expect something out of you, and you should respect that by at least having the care to use proper spelling.

Look at her, a prisoner of the gutter,

Condemned by every syllable she ever uttered.

By law she should be taken out and hung,

For the cold-blooded murder of the English tongue.

 

Aaoooww!

 

Aaoooww!

Heaven's! What a noise!

This is what the British population,

Calls an elementary education.

 

Oh,

Counsel, I think you picked a poor example.

 

Did I?

Hear them down in Soho square,

Dropping "h's" everywhere.

Speaking English anyway they like.

You sir, did you go to school?

 

Wadaya tike me for, a fool?

 

No one taught him 'take' instead of 'tike!

Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?

This verbal class distinction, by now,

Should be antique. If you spoke as she does, sir,

Instead of the way you do,

Why, you might be selling flowers, too!

Hear a Yorkshireman, or worse,

Hear a Cornishman converse,

I'd rather hear a choir singing flat.

Chickens cackling in a barn Just like this one!

 

Garn!

 

I ask you, sir, what sort of word is that?

It's "Aoooow" and "Garn" that keep her in her place.

Not her wretched clothes and dirty face.

The moment he talks he makes some other

Englishman despise him.

One common language I'm afraid we'll never get.

Oh, why can't the English learn to set

A good example to people whose

English is painful to your ears?

The Scotch and the Irish leave you close to tears.

There even are places where English completely

disappears. In America, they haven't used it for years!

Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?

Norwegians learn Norwegian; the Greeks have taught their

Greek. In France every Frenchman knows

his language fro "A" to "Zed"

The French never care what they do, actually,

as long as they pronounce in properly.

Arabians learn Arabian with the speed of summer lightning.

And Hebrews learn it backwards,

which is absolutely frightening.

But use proper English you're regarded as a freak.

Why can't the English,

Lol, Tea and Crab, you're so cool. :]

 

Anyway, I doubt that that moderators will completely fix their English. It's like directing all the members of YCM to type in perfect English.

 

The only solution I see out of this, would be to type up some sort of formal document, that would require the moderators to make their posts a little more understandable.

 

But then, that might lead into more arguments/conflicts...

 

Oh well. ;]

Fire the lot that doesn't agree; there are plenty of equally capable and willing individuals on this forum.

[Guest]

By the way, isn't the Writing Section widely considered the worst section of the SAT and the least reliable? A lot of colleges ask not only for your combined score out of 2400 but also for your combined Math/Crit score out of 1600, excluding the Writing section because it's unreliable.

[Tkill93]

Personally, I think moderators should only have to try to use propper grammar when they're dealing with forum issues. Other than that, I don't think it really matters.
