    i think we need an entrance exam for boards - not being a grammer nazi, but just basic punctuation like fullstops and commas, paragraphs and no text speak. make posts actually readable. who's with me?

    If you are on about perfect punctuation, why don't you have capital letters at the start of each of your sentences?

    Is that a boards entrance exam or an after hours "entrance" exam....they are surely two very different things!

    we don't need to go all the way here, just make it more readable, so you don't need to struggle to read posts.

    I hate grammar nazis and I also hate people who are incapable of rendering a grammatically sensible sentence. My life is hell.

    OP - you obviously don't understand the level of drunken typing that goes on here. Boards is meant to be a laugh not school.

    Might be that you are not f*cked enough.

    Actually it's not a bad idea.

    Subjects to be examined would include:
    Use of the Search function.
    How to bookmark the Daily Mail newspaper.
    Advanced internet memes,including the ability to be able to know exactly the right moment when they cease to become funny.

    the and shouldn't be crossed out if you want to be completely correct - punctuation refers to fullstops and commas etc. paragraphs don't fall under punctuation.
