I am so sick of watching or playing a submission, and-after I'm done-not being able to read over half of the reviews! I understand some of them, like dropping off silent letters and unneeded vowels, because I do it, too (sometimes)! But it's really annoying when you change "awesome" to "asm"! I don't mean to be a grammar Nazi, but come on guys! We're not on You Tube! Also, usage of "lol" has gotten WAY out of hand.
P.S. If you're going to disagree with me, please try to keep it literate.

I honestly understand where you are coming from but it's not going to change anything. I review from time to time and I pride myself in my grammar and review structure when i'm trying but sometimes I just can't be asked. It's the user's personal choice on how they want to type up something on the internet.

Not really, my grammar is better than most people on here.
I used inb4 as a joke, and your cats are lame.
Now, I've seen you enough to where you post on almost every thread in here, but doesn't mean you can try to be a regular that quickly.
Calm down, 11er, and know your place.

Eh, I wish people could post legible comments, but the fact that they don't is only mildly irritating.

Newgrounds reviewers don't have the mental capacity for grammar.

Bringing this to the BBS is rather useless since the majority of the reviewers doesn't post here often.

There's a few reasons why this won't change, and there's a few why you shouldn't care.

First of all, the average userbase demographic is around 14-16 years old, because there's constantly a new wave of 14-year olds streaming in, any notes will be dismissed, ignored and buried. As for posting in the forum, well that's not really doing anything at all. I don't think there's many BBS regulars reviewing submittions on a daily basis, and the ones that do are most likely appropriately articulate.

Besides laziness, there's also this thing where typing UB3R L33T is "cool" for certain groups of people, and there's really no easy way of convincing them otherwise, so it's easier to just let it slide.

Another thing is you can in most cases figure the message of a review by reading the context rather than words, and the ones you can't understand, just mark it as useless or go about your day. Chances are that particular review wasn't worth spending time deciphering.

Why did you bump it? Most likely, nobody would see it if you wouldn't have decided to bump it. You're only digging up your shitty past for all the users to see.

I know I make the occasional grammar mistake or typo, so I don't really mind people messing up too much.

There are so many things wrong with your grammar, so I won't even bother. Who changed "awesome" to "asm", though? I have never seen that.

There isn't much difference between a 14-year-old and a 12-year-old, aside from a slightly higher testosterone count.

"Proper grammar" is a delusion conceptualized by 18th century "intellectuals" with nothing better to do but think of ways to feel more important than each other.

"Proper grammar" is a delusion brought forth by 21st century "morons" on the internet looking for a shallow, meaningless reason to feel superior to other people on the internet.
