View Full Version : Tarkanx's school for dumb asses

You know who you are. Yes that's right, the dumb ass. The #### who doesnt even put punctuation, and makes run on sentences creating so many spelling errors.
Call me professor Tarkan, your english professor. Right now We will learn all this grammar, punctuation, and spelling that most of you people keep missing.
,- , is a comma. a comma is a punctuation that pauses a sentence, for example:
"He went up against the best, and got his ass kicked"
You see how I "paused" that sentence? Now Moving on...
.- . is a period. It is a punctuation used when the sentence has ended, for example:
"He logged into the game."
You see how I ended the sentence?
!- ! is an exclamation mark. It is used as expression, when your happy, and yelling, or when your angry, and berserk. For Example:
"Top ranked player fight me!"
See how I was expressing myself?(I hope you do)
?- ? is a question mark. It is used when you ask something, and want an answer. For Example:
"Why do I never do any damage when I hit the opponent?"
See... I asked something, and I want an answer.
:- : is a colon. It is used when you are listing things, and giving data on what it is, or how it is, or what not. For example:
PlayerA: 1st place
PlayerB: 2nd place
PlayerC: 3rd place
See how I was listing data for the players ranks?
;- ; is a semi-colon, it is used when your going to end a sentence, but it has not quite ended yet, it's like a period, and comma put together(shown by its sign). For Example:
"That person is too good; I will train harder"
note: This might be a little to experienced for most of you, so you don't have to use ;"
'- is an apostrophe(sp?). An apostrophe is used when you are talking about the person owns what ever. For Example:
"that is TarkanX's red Ryu"
See how I used the apostrophe, I(TarkanX), and my character(Red Ryu)
Spelling:
----------
I hate when people spell so horribly!
"as most of u know shenkatai got shut down SO COULD ANY 1 FILL me in were the clans forums hav moved 2 or have they been ahhinlted of the whole net... "
This has to be one of the most spelling errors(and grammar errors) in a sentence, there is so much wrong.
Please don't type fast, if your not an experienced fast typer, then type slow. Read a dictionary. Go to typing classes. Your not in a rush(most of you at least).
Example of terrible post:
----------------------
1.k first things first ryu did have raging demon he had
it in mvs.capom and alpha3 it was one of his new moves
after defeating apocalypse it was called mode change
he could do ken and akumas moves and speacials
2.when u go to practice and use wolverine berserker
barage it takes out half of sentenals life so if u remember
raging demon also takes half ur life so stop winning
about how much it takes of and if he never had it
any wayz and plus d u know how many buttons r in raging
demon well its 5 because u press u & i together and thats
my reason he should getso nahh and the only
reason angryfires on is because it represents when akuma
takes u to hell and back
Example of clean post:
-----------------------
1. Okay first things first, Ryu did have Raging Demon, he had
it in M vs. Capcom and Alpha 3. It was one of his new moves
after defeating Apocalypse, it was called Mode Change.
He could do Ken and Akuma's moves and specials.
2. When you go to practice, and use Wolverine's Berserker
Barrage, it takes out half of Sentinels life. So if you remember
Raging Demon also takes half of your life, so stop whining
about how much it takes off, and if he never had it
anyways, and plus do you know how many buttons are in raging demon? Well it's 5, because you press u & i together and thats my reason he should getso nahh, and the only
reason angry fires on is because it represents when Akuma
takes you to Hell and back.
I know I missed some here, but man... that was some terrible grammar...
Posting useless things:
----------------------
There are so many times that a good topic gets ruined because of a dumb ass who posted something useless. Always think first, when I'm going to go in this topic, what am I going to post? If you have nothing to say, then don't post, and don't spam either.
Going off topic:
-----------------
This is a major syndrome in the forums, a topic can easily go off topic, but only because of the post link together, but they arent entirely the same.
Let's say I'm talking about X-men, and how Cable had to fight Apocolypse in the bad future, someone might post how cable is a scrubby character because of his MvC2 incarnation, then that post alon will become a topic, and others will agree, and disagree.
This is fine because it usually happens, but please stick with the topic, if you have nthing to say that deals directly with the topic, then don't post.
Reviving old topics:
--------------------
This always gets me pissed, usually when an old topic is revived, it is revived by someone who is a dumb ass. For Example:
http://bbs.projectx.cyberfuturism.com/cgi-bin....4;t=254 (http://nferno666.sytes.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=2134)
See how the topic from almost a year was revived by a ####? Well from now on, no one should revive old topics, unless they have something smart to back it up.
Abusing the smileys:
---------------------
So many people, so many idiots. I hate when people go rampant using smilies everywhere :) :D :( :)
There is only need in using one smiley(or two at max) per sentence. Anymore than that is just too much. And you don't have to put a smiley everytime in your posts.
Posting in the wrong Forum:
---------------------------
This happens a lot, especially when the person is new. It's okay if your new, but it's not okay if youve been here for at least a week. Next time, even if you are new, please read each forums dexcription before posting in the right forum.
Flaming:
---------
I hate when this goes on, someone says something stupid, then someone else joins in and says something inappropriate. This is useless, don't talk back to anyone, don't flame anyone, don't say you hate anything. Unless MAYBE if the person acts like a total dumb ass, don't flame. And for you 12 year olds, your not even supposed to be swearing, or saying "suck on your moms dick". Have your parents/guardians taught you nothing?
Well this is all I can think of, if any smart person, or a not dumb ass wants to add anything to it, feel free to do so. And all the dumb asses, or at least everyone, please read this topic! Thank you!

*laughs out loud* I hate teachers, they're so boring. :biggrin:
Yeah, this kinda stupidity's been outa hand for a while.
Topics Like this one (http://nferno666.sytes.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=4278). Who all's up at 4:00 a.m. honestly? That's just begging to be bitched at.
Hating I've seen far too much of, starting for no reason at all (http://nferno666.sytes.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=4087), and proving just how idiotic you can be by intentionally insulting people and starting fights (http://nferno666.sytes.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=10791).
Spamming, one of the worst forms of stupidity, and a dam waste of forum space (http://nferno666.sytes.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=4998).
The worst, of course, stupidly reviving year old topics like this one (http://nferno666.sytes.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=4652), or this one (http://nferno666.sytes.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=4258)... or just being a stupid hypocrit and criticizing thost that stupidly revive threads half as old as you do like this guy (http://nferno666.sytes.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=4118).
I've said it before and I'll say it again... "We're suffering from a black hole of stupidity that's sucking in youthful, unexposed, ###### minds and squishing them into the size of electrons."

Hmm... nice topic. As a matter of fact, I do have a few things I'd like to add.
1. TYPING WITH THE CAPS LOCK ON AT ALL TIMES
There's no excuse for this. Do you have any idea how idiotic you look when you do this?
2. Not knowing the difference between "your" and "you're" (since we're on the subject of grammar).
I'm not one to nitpick everyone's grammar, but I see even some of the more intelligent posters make this mistake (even MODs).
Example: "your retarded"
Your retarded what? Your retarded dog? Your retarded mother? What?!
The correct way to say this is, "You're retarded." You're is a contraction for you are, whereas your is used strictly to imply ownership.
This is simple stuff, people. It is to grammar, what 2+2=4 is to math. What has become of our public school system, when people haven't even mastered 2nd grade grammar skills? I doubt many people around here knew the difference, anyways (before I pointed it out). But if you ever make a mistake like that on, say, a term paper for an English class in college, you should get one letter grade taken off automatically, IMO.
3. Replying to an intelligent post, which is part of a serious discussion, with worthless spam.
Example:
*insert an essay by 2000warrior here*
Reply #1: MAN THAT WAS LONG
Reply #2: i aint readin that bull sh*t
Reply #3: I agree :) :D :laugh: :p
Reply #4: has anyone here played soul caliber 2 yet
Reply #5: WHAT
Reply #6: shutup
Reply #7: screw u and ur mom
Reply #8: lol :D
.....
4. Incorrect spelling/grammar in someone's sig.
This is annoying, because you have to look at it every time he or she posts. You'd think people would put more thought into it for that very reason, but oh well...
Example:
Toon-Ryu's signature says the following:
Dont think youre the strongest.You might get suprised.
Now, with the exception of the apostrophe that's missing in the "you're," I am actually impressed that he knows the difference between your and you're (see above). However, his second sentence is quite erroneous. You might "get suprised?!" Does that even sound right? A better way to say it, is "You might be surprised," or "You might get a surprise." Note that there is clearly an r between the u and the p in surprise.
5. Replacing simple two or three letter words with one letter, number, or symbol.
Examples:
"r u ready 2 play"
"where r u @"
"let me no b4 u go"
"y r u mad"
Some people might think this is cute, cool, or whatever, but I think it's downright moronic. Is it really that hard to type words like you, are, to, too, at, before, and why? Why is it cool to be an idiot nowadays?
Well, that's about it for now. I'll post some more, if I think of them.

DXZero: We have to do this, I mean go to a forum where there isn't much idiocy, and compare it to here.... do you see the HUGE difference? Even Senshukentaikai was even less moronic(not trying to flame senshuk, just using comparison) than here.
On this forum you have a bunch of people who act like they haven't even passed the 2nd grade. To the dumb asses, go read the news first... CNN, yeah that is a good news source, go read CNN. After one hour, come back here, and please don't post retarded crap like what 2000warrior, and Troy88 stated.
I said this before, and I'll say it again, read the topic! Read it 5 times in the minimum, and 10 times at most, and don't slack off while reading it. I'm tired of people screwing up topics because they have an IQ similar to Charlie in the story "flowers for Algernon"(his IQ was about 68, which is the same as a learning disability).
If you want more posts, then don't spam on topics, that spam will link together with other spams(like I stated before). If you want a lot of posts, go to the random insanity, but it's best if you don't post to get your post count up, it'll go up eventually.
I will have to say that tarkan the grammar teacher is right in many ways more than one..I will cut down on the pictures.If only people would cut down with the flaming and bad attitudes.Then this forum would be a lot less like senshuken..IN its own little way i suppose.
Correct way:

OK there may be many n**bs around here, but most of us

We're not going to be English teachers or anything.
It's only a few members that does these things over and over, that's the most annoying things, but maybe they can't speak proper English *cough*Mastermax*cough* does that means he's dumb?
Oh well, most of us ain't foreign, but if you guys don't call them out they won't stop.
I always tell people to stop the caps or no n**b bashing before I do anything..
anyway...
like.. mods say something like cant touch my skillz yo! does that means they dont know grammar?
i was with u till u point out grammar problems alot more..
but u may continue since it is a problem..
just not about grammar, maybe about spam, flame, useless topics, etc... but no grammar cuz i do that too :biggrin:

lol, and stop using senshuk as an example to everything bad. I don't know what's gotten to people around here, but after the end of senshuk, the negativity towards senshuk has increased a lot. All I ever hear is:
"I knew this would happen"
"That place was dead from the start"
"It was bound to happen considering all the flamming that place gets everyday"
Senshuk used to be a great place where well respected vets go, so just cause it's dead, doesn't mean you can talk trash. hmph, next thing you know there'll be cliches like, "as evil as Senshuk".

I, and a whole lot of other people that aren't even registered in the forum do. If you were the President of the Uinated States, or a CEO of a company, would you say, or write, or type retarded crap like: "i do hav bRianZ, it""s in mah aRm"
You'll get criticized forever, everyone in the public is going to try to get everything they can possiblky get, and if you were a movie star that fell on the red carpet, you'll be seeing a lot of pictures being flashed at you.

Well Max is an exception, he doesn't have a whole lot of knowledge about english since he/she is foreign, but Sexyass and those retards, Im pretty sure they are in America, or Canada. He has no exception of typing dumb crap like "J00 yuo hav BrianZ1111" unless he's a 9 year old, but even 9 year olds should know the basics of grammar, and spelling.
They are capable of acting straight(smart), we should just give them time, but in this exception right now, a whole ot of time.
like.. mods say something like cant touch my skillz yo! does that means they dont know grammar?
Sure, it's okay if you put something moronic in your sig, even if can't touch my skillz yo isn't moronic.
Vegeta: I said after my posts "no offense to senshuk, I don't hate them". They just have the tendency to do something ignorant, and I'm not trying to say the people are ignorant. They can act what they want to act like, that's all fine, it's not my business, or anyones(except maybe the mods, and admins at senshuk).
August 2001- November 2001, this board was smart, and intellegent, sure there were a few idiots, but they only did that on purpose. Now today is August 31, 2002, the forum is desperate for learning something.
School has probably started for about almost all of you, GET AN EDUCATION, that's what you go to school, or whatever for, you go to elementary, then middle school, then high school, then if some of you want, then you go to college, then your done with your education for the most part, it's that simple!

princevegetam: I dunno about that... I remember that Senshuk was a nice place to "hang out" for a while... Until about the time that Zing79 and Quass quit updating as much and Dan Hibiki and itssounfair took over the adminship (not to really bash anyone here, it's just that timeperiod, or a short while after that, that Senshuk started to become a real hell-hole for "vets"). I really think the thing that screwed it over were all the dam ###### clans. Without them, Senshuk wouldn't have had half the brain deficit people it had near its end.

Ya didn't not has 2 rib it IN!! :biggirn;... :biggrin:
I think some of you are taking this a little to literally. It's ok to misspell words occasionally, and replace some words with @ and the like symbols.
Like this: "Yeah, well we can fight @ 11:00 est, how's dat?"
It's posts that make it almost impossible to understand with way too many symbols and misspellings that become a problem.
Like this: "yeaH, we'll can fite @ 11 eastrn, how'd thats B?"
Now wouldn't you all love it if I always typed like that for my 10+ page "essays" :biggrin:

Im in front of the computer all day when I get home im lazy ( im sure we all are sometimes) and if you cant read it just keep moving. I mean it seems to me that some ppl have seemed to have forgotten that this is a completely FREE game im sure it would be different if this had some membership fee im sure some vets wouldnt even be here if there was.
I think you clearly make some points but I also think some "vets" lately are on a ranting and raving campaign and some take notice I said some can't let go of the past. I do not like members who spam and start useless topics but hey I put up with it b/c I understand its a free game and anyone can get in. I also do not like losing due to lag but I put up with it It's a FREE game.
Hey if you wanna change things campaign for a membership fee$$$$

4 pages of that !?
man, you could have said it all in a better way...
all in all, people talk the best way they can and they aren't necessarely knowing what they are typing. i mean that when i type, i am not looking the screen, but my keyboard ! so when i make a mistake i try and correct it right away, but it HAPPEN that some mistake pass by. what is the most important here is not the way you type or the way people will see you, but to be understanded !
TarkanX: WE ARE NOT LIKE THAT
the president won't come here, nor will the rest of the BIG SHOTS of this world. they have better things to do than play those "VIOLENT GAMES".
conclusion:
you took lots of time to type all that, and what do you get ?
nothing at all ! people have replyed to your post but are they really needing that ? no !
DX already know his english. Troy88 has the same status and so does DAN
i think that it was useless to write all that !
anyway you're right about those who aren't understandable in their post ! but someone who puts something like this:"r u from there ?" i think this is UNDERSTANDABLE and should not be yelled at !

Karma: Yes you are right... all this for nothing, but I was bored, and had nothing to do...
This board will never change, it was much better back in august, it was like what most "intellegent" boards are now... but then this place got dumber each day. The forum went from 20 year olds to people under 10. People that aren't even 13 aren't even supposed to be here. Go to other general forums, they'll have you to click if your above 13, or under 13.
I just can't stress that the fact, we have idiots roaming the forums. PEOPLE THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED AN EDIT BUTTON! Don't type run on sentences, how are people going to understand what your saying. Like Troy said, college goes strict on you, they won't tolerate run on sentences, they'll fail you, if you turn in a report that looks like a rough draft, they won't go easy on you like those middle school, or high school teachers, they'll give you an F, a "0".
Well I'm done with my short rant, this topic should stay for every new comer who comes in, everyone should view it. Even if your intellegent.
