    I don’t mean to knitpick, and I know this isn’t an English class. It’s a casual basketball forum, and I know that our sentence structure doesn’t need to be perfect, but it’s one thing to be casual, it’s another to make a post that is impossible to understand. I am not even asking you guys to proofread, just to be more conscious about whether your sentence is easy to comprehend.

    Again, it’s not that big of an issue, but it is frustrating when you can’t understand half the posts in a thread.

    But, otherwise, I agree with what you said.

    Sorry aamir, I had to do it. It was just too easy not say something stupid. (Here’s what that quote was referencing if anyone wanted to see.) I see your point though but I wouldn’t look into it bro. I’d say 1 out of 18 users have that grammar/incoherence problem so it’s irrelevant.

    The main issue in my opinion is commas. Some people have to use them once and a while. I dont remember who’s, but I was reading a post the other day that I had to read 4 or 5 times to get because it was a really long sentence with absolutely no punctuation.

    I notice that sometimes I tend to skip words in my posts, due to either me typing too fast, or my computer sucking and not keeping up. I think most people get the general idea of what im talking about, but i will reread my posts before posting them for now on.

    Being English, I always try to use decent grammar and spell words correctly if I can. People posting with cap locks on is a pet hate of mine also.
