 I see how perfect your grammar is; you capatilized first in the middle of the sentence.

QuoteI said it before, and I'll say it again: nerd

No need for name calling.
Just to clear this up, he is joking around in a friendly manner.  And it isn't like it offends me anyway.  It's just society trying to hide it's jealously that I'm comfortable with who I am and what I do.

As for you, CA, I already told you, the proper terminology for me is Dork.  Yes, with the capital D.

*sigh*  It's so hard to get people to call you the right nickname. 8) :P

As for you, Wolf Link, and in all seriousness, Darkphantomime was answering a question, and I do not find it offensive in how he did so.  I also don't recall him saying he's perfect.

Proper grammar isn't too much to ask for, guys and gals.  People actually like to know what they're reading, and "u is stoopid i laff @ u stoopd n00b," while readable, kind of hurts the brain.  Honestly, it's not too much to ask for, and most of the members guilty of the subpar grammar should be old enough to know how to use proper grammar.  An occasional mistake every now and then is fine; we all make mistakes.  However, "u is stoopid i laff @ u stoopd n00b" is not an occasional mistake.

There are times where I find it necessary to take some license with grammar. IE: To place more emphasis upon a word, I would capatalize it, even if it were in the middle of the sentence.

pardonez moi, monsuier?
