Bah, alright! Alright! Here it is...

My fellow Americans. I am sad to report that our war on terrorism has taken another terrible toll on American lives, and to curtail any further casualties, we must invade the only remaining country in the world not occupied by our great nation: Canada.

As we speak, troops are amassing upon the Canadian border. The Canadians have been heard sharpening their skates. The Cylon infiltrators are in place (except "number six," she's with me in the oval office.)

May we live in a democratic, free, and American world.

Good night, pray, and may God be with us in our glorious crusade.

I'm a High School student myself, and go back just before Labor Day. My writing and spelling are pretty bad, but I make it a point to take the effort to check my work and see if it looks alright. This includes internet forums; like other people have said, bad habits are hard to break. I may accidentally forget to capitalize I or forget an apostrophe in a conjunction, but I like to think that my posting in a legible and intelligent format increases the respect people have for me. Many people would say that it is sad I try to gain respect in an online game, but the people playing here are still people and don't deserve me half-assing my typing because I probably won't meet them.

I can't recall any conjunctions that require an apostrophe. I can think of several contractions, though.

Sorry, couldn't help myself. When the rest of the passage is so well written, these things tend to stand out to me.

Heh, told you I made mistakes sometimes. I can't believe I made a mistake like that in a post about how I like to type correctly. I will have to fix it in my original post. Good job on noticing that, nobody else did.

I didn't understand a word of that. well one word, "quicker" Learn to type, it'snot quicker, it's actually slower to type like that once you know how to use a keyboard and once you can more people will pay attention to what you say/type.

Funniest thread ever.

Go back to school, guys, seriously.
Or; when you leave school and can't afford to buy a computer, pay for broadband or even pay your rent due to the fact that you spent you school life grinding Jedi and now have no qualifications and can't get a job, you may regret it.
Pay attention at school, get good grades and become the people that make the games and get paid for it.
I work in the games industry, I get paid well to basically play games all day.

Pay attention

ROFL, what irony! Jedi_Xan, you pick on someone for poor spelling, yet your sig quotes someone who is famous for poor grammar!

I'm just giving you a hard time, though. I agree that kids should focus on school.

Kids! I have a full-time job, full-time family, and full-time school as well. SWG is running a very distant 4th place right now. I enjoy it when it doesn't interfere with more important things. That being said, however, have fun. Prioirities you must assign. Learn you will.

Actually, Yoda's grammar is nearly flawless, just irregular. There's nothing technically wrong with changing participle placement or noun-verb arrangement.

I had a cool English teacher back in the day when ROTJ came out. We spent a couple of days using Yoda's method of speaking to analyze sentence structure. Since it's so unusual, it's a lot easier for kids to pick out the different parts of the sentence. The various parts don't tend to run together in the mind.

For the record, I was like seven at the time...
