I know this isn't the same, but I get a kick out of this line, oft repeated on Siege:

"GET TO THE FALG!"
"DEFEND THE FALG!"
"FALG FALG FALG FALG FALG FALG!"

"Dying" and not "dieing"! Also, the past tense of "hit" is "hit", not "hitted", and the same for "shoot" - "shot", not "shotted"!

Ahhh dying ! I always had so much trouble with this one.
Cause we rarely use it at school, but just so much in games.

I'll still rely on my accent for the peasant, wich first "pea" doesn't sound as the "pea" in "pears" (the fruit), but as a strange "pê". TS rules.

The point of communication is to convey a message or a point.  If the message or point has been understood, then the communication is successful.  People who nitpick grammar are lame, if you understand what someone means, then their communication has been successful.  I say this as someone who considers their grammar and English to be at a very high level when needed.  But since this is the "internet", we should probably treat it like you're talking to someone in person.  You don't need proper grammar, you just need to get your point across and be understood.

I don't know about you, but in my mother language reading bad grammar on the web had a terrible influence on my own writing, pretty much like reading books tends to improve it.


IRL I pronounce the "pea" of peasant like the "pea" of peanuts and it's funny.

It's interesting that the errors that occur in informal writing are always the same no matter the language. People mess up with similar sounding words even if they actually mean something completely different. Such as there, their and they're in english. I think it's worse in french because you have for example ces, ses, c'est, s'est, sait, cet and sept that are all pronounced exactly the same :lol: . The only thing that is very specific to the internet is that most people don't use their mother language so typical translation failures can happen. Such as assuming all the meanings of a word in a language can be used in another with the corresponding word.

Seems the fascists are gaining ground once again in UKR... right vving politics is SO bad for the general populace but STILL in times of trouble the uneducated turn to them for help, simply because they are so amoral they vvill supply those vvilling to fight vvith vveapons rather than knovvledge.

On a related note you need to stop combining winner and whiner into whinner :wink:

Whiner is the guy who dies at round start without hitting anyone, his team goes on to win hardfought comeback, and next round he says "x5 Bitches yeeeeah"
I don't know enough
