    I have a major in English Literature and I have to tell you the destruction of the English language online and off is getting worse, and this is not a tendency to exhibit pride in.

    If you really are a graduate of anything then for the love of God be a shinning light to others. Language isn't just bookish grammar and snotty know-allness, it is the base of our culture and the future of education, if our graduates talked and wrote like teenagers then we'd all be headed towards a dystopian future.

    I suggest everyone go and rent the film 'Idiocracy' or read George Orwell's essay "Politics and The English Language"

    Sorry as this is off topic, it is just recently I have read some horrible blogs and comments made online by the most ignorant illiterates and it brings bile up to my teeth. Then when I retort on it I always get the same comment "I am a graduate of Harvard with a quadruple degree in Physics, Law, Biology and Theatre."

    And do you realize that there are more them 120 countries on world speaking with dozens of diferent languages and most of those ppl have just basic knowledge of english ?

    Please be little more tolerant for others as it could not be their primary language as maybe for you.

    Marrige benefits are not working yet, maybe in the future they will add some. So far the only benefit is the clothes and the fact that everyone knows u have to much money.

    Thanks Smexxy b:kiss, finally a on topic answer.

    Like most MMORPG's, and real life, marriage offers little or no benefits.

    For an English major, you sure displayed a lot of ignorance!

    "I have a major in English Literature and I have to tell you the destruction of the English language online and off is getting worse, and this is not a tendency to exhibit pride in."

    That's a run-on sentence. When you have two independent clauses ("I have a major in English," and "I have to tell you") there should be a comma before the coordinating conjunction (in this case "and"). Your sentence should have read:

    "I have a major in English Literature, and I have to tell you the destruction of the English language online and off is getting worse."

    Your third independent clause, "this is not a tendency to exhibit pride in" should have either been a new sentence or separated by a semicolon:

    "I have a major in English Literature, and I have to tell you the destruction of the English language online and off is getting worse; this is not a tendency to exhibit pride in."

    You can't have three independent clauses linked by coordinating conjunctions in the same sentence.

    "Language isn't just bookish grammar and snotty know-allness, it is the base of our culture and the future of education, if our graduates talked and wrote like teenagers then we'd all be headed towards a dystopian future."

    Another run-on sentence? Wow. And comma splices too!

    "Language isn't just bookish grammar and snotty know-allness, (comma splice) it is the base of our culture and the future of education, (comma splice) if our graduates talked and wrote like teenagers then we'd all be headed towards a dystopian future."

    You can't link two independent clauses using only commas. You must use a coordinating conjunction or a semicolon:

    "Language isn't just bookish grammar and snotty know-allness; it is the base of our culture and the future of education. (PERIOD, followed by a new sentence) If our graduates talked and wrote like teenagers (comma), then we'd all be headed towards a dystopian future."

    When you precede an independent clause ("If our graduates...") with a subordinate clause, you must put a comma between the two, like this:

    "If our graduates talked and wrote like teenagers (comma), (no "then") we'd all be headed towards a dystopian future."

    As for your last two sentences:

    "Sorry as this is off topic, it is just recently I have read some horrible blogs and comments made online by the most ignorant illiterates and it brings bile up to my teeth. Then when I retort on it I always get the same comment "I am a graduate of Harvard with a quadruple degree in Physics, Law, Biology and Theatre."

    They are horrible. To save myself some time, I'm just going to write the corrections within my rewrite:

    "Sorry if this is off topic. (period) Recently, ("Just recently" is redundant. If it was recent, then obviously it JUST happened) I have read some horrible blogs and comments made online by the most ignorant illiterates, (Comma! You have two independent clauses here!) and it brings bile up to my teeth. When (Not, "Then when") I retort on it, (Comma! Subordinate clause is being followed by an independent clause!) I always get the same comment, (Comma! Always use them before a quote if the quote is not the beginning of the sentence!) "I am a graduate of Harvard with a quadruple degree in Physics, Law, Biology and Theatre."

    Well, that's it. By the way, I am an accounting major.



    Umm.... You rock.

    You remind me of my ex, who did her undergrad in English. She was great in bed :)

    I am having fits of laughter in my char! Oh lordy! Best reply I have ever read! Kudos to you my friend.

    On the subject of, "The Butchering of The English Language",

    *ahem*

    This is the interwebs - do you think people care? I am quite certain they speak differently in person. It's not like everyone in the world is going to be able to spell correctly, rich or poor. Honestly, stop whining and do something more productive.

    Say, like, making a nice big schnitzel sandwich, then eating it. Now, that is productive.

    *applauds jerkface*

    My other half is severely dyslexic, but a great communicator nonetheless. I get sick and tired of the high and mighty few who feel they have the god-given right to pick on how he says something, and totally neglect the point.

    And to keep this on topic... I can't marry him in RL just yet for reasons I won't get into, and we want to marry here in PW for no other reason than the title or w/e signifies us as being wed. It's a sentimental kind of thing.

    Focus on the point people... answer the question or keep your snotty opinions to yourself.

    And coincidentally *cough* we can't get married ingame for the same reason we can't get married in RL. :(

    Wow, sheesh, you don't have to get on her about all the problems in her comment. She was probably just trying to get a point across; so she didn't pay attention to how she was writing.

    Anyways, i'm new to the game so i have no idea about the marriage thing. Actually, in fact, i didn't even know you could get "married" in this game. It be really helpful if someone could explain all of this simply. XD

    All that, and you still overlooked that she misspelled "shining". Epic fail.
