I hereby propose starting a movement to combat the out of control pandemic known as bad spelling and incoherent grammar!

I think this movement ought to make it so that people can't post unless we know what the heck they're trying to say!

The line of thought and the subject doesn't have to be clear, but the sentences and paragraphs ought to be comprehensible!

Who's with me to start, NSABSGM?

I pledge my allegiance to the Holy Colonic Reich.

You almost, almost made it! But not quite:
"comprehensible"
"Who's with me to start NSABSGM?" (no colon)

How about just plain BDSM?

I actually don't like the movement title, although it's not incorrect. It's...clumsy. Maybe the NSDAP. We can work out what the initials stand for later.

I'm going to take a page from Truss's book and suggest that you run a militant wing. Perhaps you could set up a series of Language Justice attacks where all you do is run through and correct the mistakes of people in the boards.

I'll be the indefinite pronoun policeman.

I'll head up the Split Infinitive Department.

GUNNS? Grammar Uber Nazis of Nation States? Maybe?

I'm already a Lieutenant in the Grammar SA. I've already hit three supermarkets, targetting the 'ten items or less' counters.

Yeah, I'm cool.

lol, that annoys me a bit too.

Don't. They don't have to be clear. So much for this organisation. :rolleyes:

I'll join as long as I get to whap people upside the head because they think using "teh" and "liek" is cool.

Perhaps we could start by eliminating unnecessary exclamation marks? Or using question marks correctly. Yes, believe it or not, even rhetorical questions need them.

I move the Fuhrer here be expelled from the Reich...

One more thing, it's "comprehensible".

Don't. They don't have to be clear. So much for this organisation. :rolleyes:

Indeed.

I'm surrounded by acronyms all day, so, I needed to make a bad one.

But, yes, we do need a better one.

You're surrounded by acronyms all day? Try covering the US military. Yeesh...

I notice you are yet to address the spelling and grammatic errors in your opening post, is this for an ironic effect or are you senile?

I thought I fixed them.

That and I wrote the post at school and I had someone reading over my shoulder while I was typing. I couldn't be bothered to let them see any more, so I posted as quickly as I could.

I'll let it slide. Namely because if it weren't for GoogleSpellcheck I would never even read my own posts after making them...

If this club is going to involve sitting around pissing on each other's grammar, then we may make little in the way of progress. What larks, what larks.

I'd be honoured to piss on you...

SGSP

Secret Grammar & Spelling Police. Better watch out for the guys in dark leather coats. They will report any mistakes you make directly to me. :p

Please don't wee on me.

So does this mean there'll be an SS? (Spelling Squad)

OK, this is no longer funny.

I can't promise that...

Woohoo! Let's make good spelling the norm in NS! Actually, I think it already is; but who cares? :p

Can I be the one who tortures all of the people who misuse apostrophes? It would be only fair, after all. :p

I will head the 'Misspelling of Common Words' department.

How about calling is the Nationstates Alliance for Zeroing Improper Spelling? :D
