You're trying to say that because you can contextually figure out what he means that his post is totally okay and that's no good.

His post is clearly written in English whilst the formating is clearly poor it is both legible and easy to understand.



I offer into evidence Smarties post.

As you can see above he is clearly talking about the dicationary definitions of good. Which specifies as the 49th definition 'Informal well'

I rest my case.

Just because it is clearly in English doesn't make it good English, Sif.

Only smarmy douchebags actually consider that to be a real thing.

I like how I can see the line "Stop the hate" right next to that post about me being a smarmy douchebag.

I like how I can see an instance of Nuklear Wright right above that statement that Nuklear Wright should stay dead.

The only good English is a dead English.

I'd just like to say, definition 49 is really a long way down there in definitions, and clearly 1-48 get precedence over it, PLUS, 49 clearly says that it's for informal use only.

So, if you want to be better than 49th place, use one of the other definitions. If you're being formal, then you can't even apply number 49.

All right, this has gone far enough. This petty arguing will not stand, therefore I see no alternative but to force you guys (both grammar nazis and none nazis) into a compromise. There has to be some middle ground where you will both see reason and willingly overlook the other sides pettyness/lack of caring. Therefore I will play the true villain and unleash upon you both the worst form of text based communication the world has ever created; leet speak.

Don't make me do that again NPF, or I shall unleash anarchy upon you. I swear I'll do it. I've had alcohol, I shit you not I will do it. Now, make peace.

A true man bows down before no one. I see your attempt at incomprehensible giberish and raise you a perfect understanding of what you typed.

Compromise is for the weak, as long as we understand each other worrying about simple typographical errors on such an informal setting as a forum is both tiresome and silly. There should be no compromise.
