Literacy
Unfortunately, I’ve been forced to make this thread - which should really not be necessary.
We need some literacy in this guild.
And by literacy I mean that your posts should live up to the following criteria - however, keep in mind that typos/occasional spelling errors etc. are fully acceptable. We just really want you to try to type coherent messages.
And I'm not saying that you're all illiterate, either - in fact, most of the crew is rather proud of your awesomely-awesome skills - it's just that some of you might need to try a bit harder.
1. Avoid chatspeak. It’s difficult and unpleasant to read, and makes you look rather dumb. Proper English is to be used at all times, except when it is used in a humorous sense (mockery or some such). One or two sentences of chatspeak is okay, but please, keep it to a minimum.
2. New sentences always start with a capital letter. This is an oft-forgotten rule, unfortunately. Please do use capitals when starting a new sentence, as goes for names, titles, countries, languages etc.
3. Mixing upper and lowercase, symbols, text sizes, colors, and numbers is discouraged. Numbers are not, and will never be letters, nor will symbols. Changing other factors makes the text painful to read, and for the comfort of your fellow guild members, avoid it.
4. Please use proper spelling. If you have trouble with this, please download a spell-check program for your internet browser and it will make things far easier for you.
5. Excessive punctuation is annoying. Try not to use more than three exclamation marks, full stops and question marks when typing.
6. Furthermore, do use proper punctuation. There is a dire lack of commas in this world. End a sentence with a full stop, question mark, or exclamation mark – or use other types of punctuation appropriately.
If you’re unsure about your typing skills, read your message through, maybe even out loud. If you think it is clear and understandable, it is probably okay – but remember to keep the rules in mind!
Remember! Type out your words fully, and use capitals, punctuation and spelling at all times!

I find this absolutely hysterical coming from the guy who would always use chatspeak. But I have always been literate, and I plan to continue so. Why the sudden change, Kevin?

Ehr, I sign I guess. For spelling, I recommend using Firefox if you're just terrible.

Well, during roleplay, I don't use chatspeak. In an OOC comment, I might, but I have really just decided to step up because poor grammar usage really bothers the mickey out of me and a number of others- I just haven't voiced this opinion before. I generally tend to keep that kind of thing to myself, so that I do not offend anyone.
Bad grammar and people using chatspeak actually in their roleplaying posts (excluding OOC) just bothers me.

Remember to make good on your promise. In AEIOU I saw some spelling errors and a lack of punctuation. I sign. The only time I write in "incorrect" grammar is when using my Russian character, who purposefully speaks with broken English.
