The vocabulary and annotation of most threads/posts i read are usually well constructed. Does anyone else agree that BG games and RPG's in general help a persons vocabulary ??????????? not too mention their wit http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/smile.gif

Except yours, I guess ... http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/wink.gif

Compare this (yours)...
"Every thread and post i read is usually well constructed and correctly annotated, does anyone agree that BG games and RPG's in general help a persons vocabulary, not too mention there wit"

...with this:

Hell, English isn't even my primary language. I agree with you, though, that such games do help to stimulate the language in which the game is played. Games like these require you to read a lot of text, and it is logical that you pick up a thing or two from the grammar and such. Personally I always get somewhat annoyed when people write almost intelligeble texts, like 'u w8 their, nad u vill se wat I meen.' Especially since English is not my primary language at all, and I would have to have the same problems.

Overall, I think I make very little errors in my messages, and if I make them, they really are typo's I overlook when re-reading my message before posting.

By the way, Sleepy, what did you do with your '?' key?? Did you sell it, or what? http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/wink.gif

Hmmm, I must say that noble one. Maybe not the vocabulary though, but perhaps they remembers thos words they thought they had forgotten many years ago. And maybe those who hasnt english as theyr first language gets better. You could always go to the first message you have posted to this board, and see how you sentence where constructed and the words combined to sentences.....

Aint I litterated today (pay no attention to the typos)

If you refer to my message, yes, it is.

Just look at the garbled thingy you produced, and my masterful piece of literature! http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/tongue.gif

But serious: there ARE differences ... just look carefully! And you still didn't answer my question ... what happened to your '?' key??

CHEATER!! YOU CHANGED YOUR MESSAGE AFTER I POSTED MINE!! http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Well, one can't speak for the other members of this messageboard, but, I believe that RPG's are good for the vocabulary; as is any other pastime that involves reading a large amount of text.

Anyway, one must get back to clubbing that F****** B******* Mind Flayer with my F******* great Two-F*******-Handed Sword of B******* Smashing. http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
