Incredible weekend

I thought it was pretty clear myself
Ah right.
“My old lady has to work.” Is one sentence.
“Time to get into relax mode and play without wife aggro interference.” is another
If you say “my old lady has to work-time to get into relax mode and play without wife aggro interference.” without puntuating it and putting a random hyphen in there, it reads as one complete sentence of garbled nonsense.
Now I can understand it, it’s just nonsense.
yes it is and yest it could have done with a bit more commas… though he did use a ‘-’
and no, that’s not some weird smiley
People know what a “-” is.
It’s not punctuation either as used in the OP, it’s just a random hyphen. It makes the words work and time one word “work-time” which is what I read.
A hyphen is a hyphen and cannot be used in the same way as a comma, definitely not to break up a sentence.
If you’re takling about parenthesis sure, but that really doesn’t apply in that sentence at all. There’s nothing in it to be put in parentheses.
It’s two sentences. It should have been a period or a full stop.
LEARN ALL THE ENGLISH!
give him some slack, he was REALLY excited, I can understand him
Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.

Lol, you know I’m joking and just contributing to this thread like you as it’s one of those quirks of the internet.
I don’t care how people talk, but if it makes someone unintelligible, like it really did when I read it through, I think they should be told.
It’ll help them be understood in the future.
VIVA LA GRAMMAR THREAD!

VIVA LA GRAMMAR THREAD!
ah while we here, let’s talk about DR out of the inflaming aura of those threads
I like to farm as much as you, old habits. I get around the DR because I zip a lot on the map, I go looking for hidden places (there is a lot) and kill a bunch of different stuff and never get hit with DR
Use the downleveling to your advantage and the fact that it’s a wonderful and dynamic (well mostly) world!
“Whose Kitten is this?” – “It’s a Charr baby.”
“Whose Charr is this?”- “Ted’s.”
“Who’s Ted?”- “Ted’s dead, baby. Ted’s dead.”
“Whose Charr is this?”- “Ted’s.”
“Who’s Ted?”- “Ted’s dead, baby. Ted’s dead.”

That’s actually a useful post in this thread of useless posts (mine definitely included). My opinion of muthax has changed.
Hooray for the internet!
@Mickey and Lagrangeify.
a) I genuinely did not understand what he said. I was sitting there thinking “What’s this work-time” then. I am really not trying to be facaetious about this.
b) It’s a forum on the internet.
c) People should be told if what they say can’t be understood by other people. Grammar Nazi-ism is relevant if people’s poor grammar renders themselves unintelligible, which was exactly the case here.
d) Potatoes.
That is interesting because i understood him first time i read the post. I don’t judge people intelligence by their poor or good English on forums.
And i have read far worse.
Congrats OP. Ignore the flamers.
Grammar Nazi’s strike again ehh?Why is it always grammar nazi, I prefer grammar spetsnaz. In soviet Russia grammar corrects you!
Because they are everywhere.
Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.

Which is good because at no point did I question the man’s intelligence and you’re lying to say that I have.
I said I couldn’t understand what he said as I read the word “work-time” as one word like other people have commented which is a fair comment. I am being serious.
We are talking to one another by typing. In a real one on one conversation you get to see live emotion, expression, intonation and meaning. You lose all of this in text.
Being clear about what you mean is imporant if you want to be understood. The fact you understood him perfectly does not mean other people have. They haven’t.
It’s never a reflection of someone’s intelligence and for you to project that on to me seems to mean that you have some chip on your shoulder about it.
If that’s what you want to do, do it. I can’t stop you.
It isn’t what I meant or I intended though, which is patently obvious.

Your words not mine. Hence your very first comment about telling him to ‘write it in English when he get’s a moment’.
You forgot what you wrote just few minutes back. lol

You’re not making a point though are you?
You said I called him stupid or that I said he lacked intelligence. I didn’t. I said I couldn’t understand him and my opening post reflects that. I said it in a slightly facetious way, which was meant as a joke, and I’ve made clear in later posts, by agreeing with the OP when I understood him.
You decry the grammar nazi, even when they are joking, but there’s nothing more depressing than the humourless forum warrior, which is what you are being now.
Sorry, but your princess is in another castle.

I don’t have to make a point when you were clearly implying that somehow you are in position to question his intelligence on basis of his writing style. You even wrote ‘which is exactly the case here’.
So either you are bi polar or suffer from short memory loss.
And for someone who flamed OP for his English and for something which was an enthusiastic and fun post you should be the last person to call anyone else humorless forum warrior.
Now continue to play ‘it was just a joke’ card.

It was a joke and here’s my card.
I never questioned the man’s intelligence, just his ability to be understood. These are two separate things entirely. I keep saying this.
I genuinely didn’t understand what he said. It took for someone else to point out that it was two sentences. I already said this.
When I realised what he meant, I laughed and agreed, it’s up there in text right above. I already also said this to you.
You’re making up false and imaginary pretences to prove a pointless point. You also keep ignoring what I’m saying about not calling him stupid. I didn’t say that at any point. Stop lying.
It’s a bit bizarre.
Why are you so offended on his behalf? Is he offended on his own behalf?
You know, I don’t care you’re offended on someone you don’t know’s behalf. It’s an annoying feature of humans that permeates every facet of society today. Be offended, but you’re offended for the reasons you made up. I never called him stupid. I never intimated he was stupid.
Stop taking up battles for other people that don’t exist. Especially on the internet.
I said “In English” which is a common joke around where I live and in my family, if what you just said (for whatever reason) was unintelligible. You either need thicker skin or a better understanding of how a joke works.
P.S. There’s no known symptom of bi-polar disorder that involves memory loss.
Either you meant schizophrenia and/or amnesia.
