How dumb is GBAtemp?

[Sop]

Hey I'm 11 and I can spell (most) words right!

 

[Slyakin]

It's enjoyable being in a 1% minority.

Once you live as a minority, everything is nicer.

 

[Deleted_171835]

I'm not surprised. I've noticed horrible grammar and spelling errors many times. Most of the prominent members speak decent English. With other members, I'm not even for sure if I'm reading English.

Use thesaurus.com and Firefox's spell check if you want improve our score. If you already have good grammar than refrain from using acronyms such as 'lol'.

11?

That so?

Are you referring to his age, or his poor grasp of the language?

Someone's a little full of himself. Ha ha, just kidding.

My reading and spelling levels were fantastic when tested at school.

In those spelling tests that had 80 words to spell I always maxed out the age rating it used.

We're about the same as YouTube... is that a good thing or a bad thing?

I'm not really surprised, most tempers are 14 year old kids

edit:
that came out wrong, what I meant to say was
the average age of users is 14 to 15 years old

OK, so your implying that 14 and 15 year old's can't spell and have bad grammar. While at the same time you haven't used a single full stop and only one capital. (not including I's) Hypocrisy I say!

Don't assume that all 14 year old teens don't have good grammar.
You'll be surprised at the number of 14 year old teens on GBAtemp that have better grammar than you.

 

[EpicJungle]

Now everybody is ashamed of themselves and are trying to improve their grammar.

Yes, I for one, can demonstrate that even a fifteen year old kid is able to employ a wider vocabulary and better use of grammar than you.

Am I doing it rite?

The worst part is that there is a number of members from countries where English isn't an official language that have better orthography than a lot of people that come from countries that do.

Anyone willing to check 4chan and SomethingAwful?

 

[Rydian]

4chan
Basic - 39%
Intermediate -56%
Advanced - 3%

somethingawful
Basic - 82%
Intermediate - 17%
Advanced - < 1%

 

[evandixon]

It probably isn't a bad thing.
My site:
Basic 75%
Intermediate 25%
Advanced 0%

The intermediate things are only pages that relate to my save converter (or a directory listing).

 

[Law]

4chan
Basic - 39%
Intermediate -56%
Advanced - 3%

somethingawful
Basic - 82%
Intermediate - 17%
Advanced - < 1%

It looks like my initial assumption was correct.




edit: vvvvvvvvvvv the 39% is probably coming from the normal boards, and some 56% is coming from the boards between normal and /b/ (/v/, /x/, /r9k) and the rest of the 56% plus the 3% is coming from /b/.

The whole thing is based on how easy the content is to understand.

 

[Rydian]

Yar, most people don't know that 4chan is a lot more than /b/, they've got discussion boards for all sorts of shit.

I like /a/ a lot, and /v/ isn't bad either.
