What's with the strict rules on the English Language, mods?
 

OK, I understand that text speech is quite difficult for the older generation to understand, but don't you think capital letters is going a bit too far?

Theres always been a no caps rule here...since the forum opened.

I dont really get why people would want to type all in capitals anyways :/

No, I mean you should have capitals for nouns and that. Sounds a bit OTT to me. :conf:

Oh, wasnt even aware of this :suspect:

Same here :conf:

ukturtle. ;)

How old you are has nothing to do with text speak. It's just sh!t to read

I know, but having CAPITAL LETTERS for EVERY single noun is ridiculous, IMO. And here's somebody who's studying advanced English.

Can you point me to where this is please? :S

In one of ukturtle's threads.

There is no such rule, you must have misunderstood UkTurtle

I was addressing the text speak comment. Not that

I'm sure he said it somewhere.

That helps :laugh:

:joker:

I very much doubt it.

And its not nouns its only proper nouns.
People, Places, Names ect

For example:
apple - no need for capital letter
London - needs capital letter.
shop- no need
James- need

Apple would be a capital if you referred to the company though. :tongue:

What about the word language?

True but :suspect:

Here is the announcement http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...cement.php?f=7

GG 4 Mod

:laugh:

GG for president

ukturtle is damn right.

Well done on the pointless moan thread though. You know damn well nobody is going to get warned just for not capatalising so why complain about it?

The amount of language transgressions that get excused here is unreal.

dont rape it

MOLE!! :suspect:

:dance:

This thing you've got with what ukturtle, did or didn't say, and you complaining in this thread about it/ukturtle - wouldn't have much to do with this....

:idc:

she has a name

:laugh3:

OK, you are seriously starting to annoy me.

You know what I mean. You're talking to somebody who achieved an A* at GCSE English, top of the class.

Infact I dont know what you mean, you have not been asked to make every noun with a capital letter.

-Got a B in english-


-Feels like an underachiever-

:sad:

:laugh:

:hug: its ok vicky.

There's always the possibility that the 'older generation' have degrees in English, you know. Which would wee all over your GCSE :joker:Text speech isn't 'difficult' for anyone. It's irritating, lazy and boring. I'm astonished that anyone on TIBB could complain that the moderation in relation to the English language is too strict. It seems virtually non-existent to me.

Aaaw, a B is quite a good grade!

Was it you who just gave me the infraction? :nono:

It was.
