How, exactly, does one fail to join a forum?

Let me ask you this. If you're a graduating college senior, why can't you use some bloody grammar ? I know my grammar isn't perfect, but you could at least make an effort to capitalize and such.

Phong, shush, very few people really care about grammer to that level.


Anyway, welcome =p
I, too, am currious as to how one would fail to join a forum.

Grammar.
Yes, we do, we care a lot about grammar. In fact, we are ALL Grammar Nazis.

February was some lyrics or quotes month or something. I don't even remember what year all this was.

Look I'm not talking about perfect grammar here, but a college senior should be able to friggin capitalize at the beginings of sentances, and punctuate at the ends of the same.

My apologies for improper capitalization and lack of sentence structure. I'll try harder when it counts, but I'm not writing a paper here. I can use grammar with the best of them, but I chose not to on my unstructured board rambling.

Twinturbo, thanks for the server name.

As far as failing to join the forum:
I joined the forum this summer. I was a little new to the whole online forum thing, so I never spoke much. Fear of flaming and such. I contributed about two messages to the boards in the several months I read any posts. This was "failing."

Note: I didn't proofread this.

He can't spell, but his grammar is only somewhat... 'pecable.

Like I said, I'm not asking for perfection, but basic punctuation and capitalization is nice.

/me goes off to flog the comma to death.
