[KMDP]

KMDP Do you have any suggestions for the sim? I already added you to the sim myself, so you have 3 to choose. 15 spots should be left after. Might as well ask Opossum too to make it 12.

Hmm...

Unfortunately, I'm in a bit of distracted state right now (Discord is hard to pull away from).

So... I'll just go for the characters I used last time, Monkey D. Luffy, Tifa Lockhart and Charlotte from Fire Emblem.

I recommend tagging me when you start.

I’ve been taught many conflicting things but the idea is that do what you want on this one

The one thing I've learned about communication is no one cares about your presentation as long as you get the point across. At least in the long run.

Which means I can do **** like this

and still be able to have a serious discussion with you. It's great.

Oh, did you add me in?

Not related to the apostrophe discussion, but if we're doing grammar hour

So do not you add the "'s"?

Pretty sure this is incorrect, it should be "do you not" if you really must insist on not using "don't". Essentially what you're doing here is using "don't" and then expanding it on purpose, but ending up producing something that is incorrect and sounds even worse than "do you not" in the process. A question alters the word order of a sentence to place the verb first, but "not" never moves; the reason "don't you" is correct is because the contraction essentially becomes a single word, so the "n't" moves with the rest of it.

or you could just use "don't" like the rest of us and not sound so stiff and formal all the time :b

who needs grammar when you can write in all lower case and sometimes not even roll out full stops unless you're in super serious theory mode

 

[MainJPW]

So is this only present in the English version of the script or...?
View attachment 213475

Quoting a second time sorry.

For context here’s the dialogue in Japanese:

“It’s you... Dr. Eggman!”

“Indeed. I am the world’s greatest genius scientist, Dr. Eggman!”

I recommend the whole translation series by Windii; it’s interesting to see just how much changes from the original script due to localization, that means no “Aw yeah this is happening” or “ya big drip”. There’s also stuff lost in translation in SA2 and Heroes or more cuss words added to the English version of Shadow.

Ah, I see the mistake there. Are you saying I should use contractions and I got the order wrong?
Also, I really should use more contractions, don't you all agree?

on anywhere other than here i type like this

and my individual sentences are just indicated by line breaks

like so

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

You’re overthinking the logic of a Pit...the character who kept getting **** on by higher up people (Dark Pit gets it worse for being a clone)

...

Let's just move on.

why doesn't everybody just cut off their mouths and communicate by smashing rocks together

That'd make things a whole lot simpler, honestly. There are people that are difficult to understand even if you know their language.

Who needs grammar when you can just post gifs and memes for 50% of your posts?

With all this talk about spelling and grammar, this place is now the official home of all Grammar Nazis.

Wait hold on. Didn't you like... disappear for several months and you're an admin now?

As long you can link gifs and write "tencharacters" you don't need english :V

I need at least one of those ones.

 

[Pyra]

I feel like the only reason you got the order wrong is that you insist on not using contractions anyway.

Do you not vs Don’t you

Don't do it! I am sure things will get better, for you do have much to live for. It's not hard to get over it, ya know.

If only faygoshill were still here.

Please don’t. The recent high winds were just that.
Keep trying! I know you can do it. Every rough patch gets better one way or another

It's fine. Faygoshill is just going to come back like

 

[Moydow]

What I'm saying is that it looks like you formed the sentence in your head as "don't you", and then expanded "don't" into "do not" for... whatever reasons you have for wanting to avoid using contractions, but in the process forgot/didn't realise you had to also move the "not" for it to be grammatically correct. So in your head you probably are using contractions, you just intentionally avoid them in writing for some reason. :b

who needs gifs when i can just crack open my kasumemes folder instead

wait

this isn't a kasumeme

[Iridium]

When are you starting this?
If you do today, I would like to join.

Today.

Oh, did you add me in?

Yes.

Wait hold on. Didn't you like... disappear for several months and you're an admin now?

Good seeing you here again.

So guys, this'll probably be my last ever post here.

I’ve fled my hometown, changed my number and stolen a 2018 Ford Fiesta, but nothing seems to be working. I uninstalled the Duolingo app 5 days ago, but I still get the notifications demanding me to learn Spanish. On the third day, I heard a window downstairs break and found a brick on the floor. There was a note tied to it saying,”Your time is almost up. Learn the ****ing mexican words or else”. I don’t have the work ethic to dedicate the effort to learn the language, and just accepted my fate. But the next day, when I found the brakes in my car removed after causing a minor accident at a nearby intersection, I realized that I’m afraid to die. In that very moment, I received another notification saying,“It’s too late for practice now. Speak the Spanish all you want, I will make sure of tu muerte”. I then turned around to see what I swear was a mass of neon green feathers dart behind a tree. I did not sleep that night, and I’m thankful for it. A few hours after I went to bed, the owl appeared in my window, but quickly fled after I drew my firearm from my nightstand. That’s when I decided it was time to leave, and later stole a car parked down my street. But I know that my fate is sealed. Because every second I’m not running, he’s only getting closer. The notifications from the deleted duolingo app have been getting progressively darker and more sinister. The last one didn’t even ask me to practice learning my language. It was just the owl asserting to me that he is God. I know I’ll die soon. I’ve accepted it. Yet I’m still upset that my life has to end because of my inability to learn Spanish.

What's up, dude? I don't recognize almost anyone here.

 

[Deleted member]

Pro tip for grammar, just go with whatever sounds right. Nobody really cares unless you make a point of it.

Huh, when did I "disappear for several months"?

[Opossum]

KMDP Do you have any suggestions for the sim? I already added you to the sim myself, so you have 3 to choose. 15 spots should be left after. Might as well ask Opossum too to make it 12.

I'll put in Jagen from Fire Emblem, as well as Pent and Louise, also from Fire Emblem, but together as a district.

I have not seen you in terms of SmashBoards in like, forever.
How are things going?

 

[Hinata]

What I'm saying is that it looks like you formed the sentence in your head as "don't you", and then expanded "don't" into "do not" for... whatever reasons you have for wanting to avoid using contractions, but in the process forgot/didn't realise you had to also move the "not" for it to be grammatically correct. So in your head you probably are using contractions, you just intentionally avoid them in writing for some reason. :b

Gifted and intelligent people have no need for contractions.

Only commoners use such distasteful things.

Add Micaiah from Fiya Emburem
And the Infinity Stones :v

The only way to go is speaking in pidgin English

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

My mom's a grammar nut! I ain't having any of this garbage on my Smashboards, thank you very much!

 

[Iridium]

What's up, dude? I don't recognize almost anyone here.

This place basically became the NZ social's hyperactive younger sibling.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Huh, when did I "disappear for several months"?

I remember a moderator that was gone for a really long time and then they got their powers taken away... I thought it was you but now I don't remember.

Hmm, add Aircon Man.

He's an evil air conditioner robot from the future sent to destroy the world.

Yes.

Then count me in.
