I'm reading the book 'Flowers for Algernon' right now. It's been about 10 years since I read it last and it's as great as I remember it. If you haven't read it before, it's the story of a mentally handicapped (presumably down syndrome) guy named Charlie Gordon. Charlie gets accepted to participate in an experimental surgery that he's told may help raise his intelligence. I won't go any further because it's too good a book to give away.
The book is written in a first person narrative, as you read through a daily diary Charlie keeps to document his improvements. As you would expect, the author (Daniel Keyes) attempts to show just how bad Charlie's language skills are by misspelling words, using grammar incorrectly, and making barely legible sentences. I chuckled to myself last night as it's easier to read Charlie's diary than it is to read most of your posts.
I just thought I'd make a post criticizing all the dumb people in our community. Call me an asshole, but Charlie Gordon has an 'Eye Q' of 68, and for -blam!-'s sake, he can write better than most of you. I scroll through the comments and find that I have to give up on about 50% of them. Proof read your shit or take some grammar classes, because no one is going to take you seriously when you sound like an idiot. How can we expect Bungie to listen to us when we sound like this:
Daaarrr, thiss game is -#@ BLAM-ing &^ I dont no how Bunjie gets awey with this -#@ BLAM-ing &^!!!!!!!!!!! I nead to find som othre game to pley. Daaaarrrr.
