jackripper Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 when i first came on to the forums i posted like this and didn't use much grammar if any when i first came on to these forums all my threads ended up closed and me handed bans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamers Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 When I came to the forums I used correct grammar. Since reading some of my posts on other forums it really bugs me about my poor grammar therefore I like to attain I high posting standard as I feel it is much easier to read. I also do support work for a Minecraft plugin and it's much easier to understand if it is written in grammatically correct English. Also most people read from the shape of the word not the letters so correct grammar actually helps people read your posts and understand them more!

HotChocolate Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Flamers, you put 'I like to attain I high standard' I'm sure it should be 'I like to attain a high standard' I've been writing the questions and getting feedback off AcidBurn on them before posting them, tweaking them if he has some better ideas. I was planning on doing that for every round, if other people were to help out the odd week it would take away a lot of the competitiveness of the quiz itself. On a complete side note, why have I got Location, Location, Location on record? I must have gone crazy for a second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotChocolate Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 I was planning on making this annual, around this time every year. I think (personally) if we kept the quiz going all the time it would eventually drag out and people would lose interest. Nobby, got to be honest, it made no sense what so ever.

HotChocolate Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Fruit Coke (ManUtdTactician247) - It was a good guess but really, Coca-Cola were never going to do a healthy version Don’t think Vatican is a real country so I’ll go for San Marino (Pangaea) - Oh, if only you'd have said Vatican, oh wait you did but didn't put it as your answer! I suggest you stop reading now Pangaea! Kim Dong-yun (Pangaea) - If you'd have put 'Jong-yun' I would have accepted it as yun sounds like un so yet again, so close, but yet so far! Suk Mi Dik (Nobby_McDonald) - No thanks Nobby, when you said 'last question' I thought you meant your guess at the Bonus Question 'Deportivo Wanka' Marshal Mathis (malikoli) - Yet another one that was so close but so far, it's Mathers not Mathis. Carlton Cole (Barney Butterball) - He will never make team of the year, come on! Marilyn Monroe (iHeadHunta x) - She died 50 years ago so it would be impressive for her to star in a film that has just been released! *All in light hearted humour, did not and do not mean to offend anyone.

Pangaea Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Don’t think Vatican is a real country so I’ll go for San Marino (Pangaea) - Oh, if only you'd have said Vatican, oh wait you did but didn't put it as your answer! I suggest you stop reading now Pangaea! Kim Dong-yun (Pangaea) - If you'd have put 'Jong-yun' I would have accepted it as yun sounds like un so yet again, so close, but yet so far! Ugh, so close yet so far away. Would still say the Vatican is not a real country though. I believe they only have observer status in the UN and can't vote, and there are only a few blowhards who actually live in the place anyway. Kim Dong-yun was a wild guess. Funny I got that close Should of course made it a more educated guess and put in Jong after his father, but it was all in jest anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
