Actually, I'm just gonna go ahead here and say you're all wrong.

Wont means to be accustomed to something. As in: killemall is wont to be angry.

(don't break your brains here, I'm not saying "killemall wants to be angry" but that he apparently has a tendency to be angry)

Want is to have a desire for something. As in: Ruffnite wants to correct somebody, but was wrong himself.

Won't is a contraction for will not. As in: the players on Prison Block won't ever master elementary English.

no he's saying that cuz kids nowadays are too dumb to care.  I'm sorry but I got the equivalent of a major in english, and even though I'm too lazy to correct my minor mistakes sometimes or click too fast to correct them, I know that for example THERE, THEIR and THEY'RE mean DIFFERENT THINGS and SHOULD NOT BE INTERCHANGED.

ENGLISH IS YOUR FIRST LANGUAGE!!! Can't you show any amount of decency and write it PROPERLY???

And one of  the internet's Greatest Bitch Of A Debate  carries on...

EDIT: you are right but then again, Tommy, how hard is it to type the apostrophe in while you're there?

on here i could care less if i spell correctly in other important situations where my english is graded  then yes i would show that i have masterd elemtary english. im sure all of us have passed that level...well i hope we all have.

I get pissed about English because it's perfectly okay to say, "Their goin to da movies" but it's magically not okay to say, "2+2=5". I'm sorry, but if you can't speak/write proper English (typographical errors aside) you need to get reamed for it. We need to stop catering to people who lack English skills simply because it's generally acceptable, and less black-and-white than, say, math skills.

And the only reason grammatical errors get the "you're too uptight!" treatment is because the people saying it lack language skills. How would you grammar nubs like it if  you made a trade with someone and they gave you $10,000 instead of $20,000,  and they said to you, "why do you care if peoples math is right its a game! ur a fag"

and again the money situations have nothing to do with this thats math and in this game math would be  an IMPORTANT SITUATION to get correct. spelling not so much as we all use slang and have the common sense to get what someone is talking about.

Language gets under the radar because people are generally too stupid to notice or care about the mistakes. An exchange of knowledge is almost as important as money in a game like this, but most people can't speak proper enough to get any value from it.

EDIT: I'd like to point out that most "slang" used on the net is bastardization of language, used because the speakers (in this case typers) are too lazy to do the work to use real language. If you're on a cell phone, fine, shorten your characters, exclude apostrophes, etc.

If you have a whole keyboard at your disposal, stop making this shit look like a god damn AOL chat room.

it's okay, killemall, we're not really arguing about you but jamesnot, the one who can't spell right.....

YEA Tommy for Minister of Education dammit~

Because somebody's going to point it out sooner or later:

Yes, I'm a grammar Nazi. Yes, I will kick your ass verbally for making simple language errors. And yes, I am livid right now because it's acceptable for people to be stupid on the internet.
