I like this, but honestly I don't understand the point behind it, mind explaining? :)

 

It will take me a fortnight to beat @314 to this post and make a comment about the word of the day.

 

That's our generation, you just have to deal with it.

 

I wasn't trying to flame your thread, was just pointing out nothing is going to stop "gamer speak" on the internet. This is 2015

 

She's saying this could be applied to real life too... It's great to have an extensive vocabulary to get your point across.

Sure it's 2015, but does that mean you'd go into your first job interview and speak MLG language?

 

Well, anyone with common sense wouldnt. But with a 'word of a day' on a MINECRAFT forum, is that gonna get you the job?xD

 

What's wrong with speaking proper English on a video game...? I, for one, do most of the time, and I know that many others do.

I think Kmax has a great purpose behind this thread, as it can't be a bad thing to learn about the language we all speak here (primary or not).

 

I myself speak proper English, except the occasional 'lol' or 'wtf' or the usual abbreviations. But on a video game, it's not about spelling, why do people have to spell properly online on a video game? It doesn't matter at all, as long as you know how to spell in real life for jobs and that it doesn't matter.

People are different, some use proper English some don't, people need to learn to deal with it.

Anyways I'm not replying back to here.

 

I've enhanced IRL essays with the expansive vocabulary some of the users have, and by using them correctly I did boost my writing and persuasion skill. Learning from ECC users does happen, and I thank you @KMaxwell for doing this. Reminds me of some of the words I should know but have never used. :)

Also, using words that most people don't know and sounding quite sophisticated about it makes you pretty dapper ;)

 

I learn more new words online rather than in school because teachers assume that I randomly know good vocabulary.

Thanks for doing this @KMaxwell <3
