start like this one?

Especially in the neopets general chat. Starts with dependent clause, then ellipse, then usually a boring question about why Abrosia isn't working.

e.g.

What would happen if...

Is it weird that...

I'm 12 and...

Does it annoy anyone else?

    It's because many people ignore all of the grammar lessons they've learned whenever they go online :p

    It's not so much the grammar that's the issue, but what is this, the neoboards?

    When someone asks a question in that form on a thread, I will make it a point not to answer the question. Just post the question straight up...

    Honestly when you first made this thread I thought you were talking about the neoboards and I was about to respond accordingly, then I saw that it was this forum and face palmed :/

    Hee hee :) I can't do anything about the neoboards (or here really) but they're supposed to be 12. And you're not allowed to join this site if you're 12 :whistling:

    I realize this...

    but it pisses me off. It's not like they're selling something. Usually all they're looking for is an answer to their question, not to advertise for the damned beauty contest or something.

    Not everyone knows how to construct short and concise questions. Not everyone can make simple and direct threads. It's the internet. They can do whatever the fuck they want. Just accept it because those threads will never go away.

    Although I was the first to voice my dissent in that topic, slowly I am starting to see that maybe her sentiments are correct.

    It's easier to say "learn english before going on a forum" versus "leave my fucking country" though xD

    Yeah this is really annoying.

    There's another forum on the interwebz that hands out 24 hour suspensions every time you post a "cliffhanger" topic without including the entire subject. I reckon people will stop doing that real fast if we had a similar rule.
