I'm thankful that/for...

[leoakre]

I'm thankful that I don't post in italics thinking that it looks cooler when in reality, it is just degrading the legitimacy of my entire post. Furthermore, I'm thankful that I don't have to use a game to think that I am more mature than others.

Seriously:
I'm thankful for the community that STG games provide. I've met some wonderful and some terrible people in the game. However, I am thankful for both - as they both make the game equally fun (until one party goes too far).

You troll!

I am thankful for my lovely friends and all the cutie patootie boytoys!

Divided to have one conditional statement per fragment. Bolded portion(s) are positive and red portions are negative. The first fragment sums up the post. The later fragments are a punctionl nightmare as well as confusing (on purpose).

You have been de-trolled

A 'punctionl' nightmare turns into a spelling horror show!

Hehe! Can't stop giggling at that, crow! Maybe it's the wine! I am envisioning that speech you gave in the city to a bunch of us about your incessant need for grammatically correct sentences. I am sure you remember the one I mean. The evening Zeus decided to bet he could speak (type) in all capital letters for 24 hours!

Poor Zeus...

I am thankful to Arcane Legends (seasons 1 thru 4) for providing me with many hours of entertainment each day as I recovered (still trying) so very slowly from painful injuries which made my daily world a miserable one! Thank god for Delphina and all my wonderful friends from around the globe for making the pain bearable with all their laughs and personal inspirations which gave me the strength to keep on moving forward! People in pvp ask me to 1v1 all the time...I guess they don't have a clue that when everyone was learning to 1v1 in the beginning of pvp, I was still learning to use my fingers all over again due to my accident. Maybe one day

Thankyou very much, Arcane Legends, for the community I love, the people I admire, and the time I have needed to heal!

You came in late to that "Speech." Zeus had askedme for a grammar lesson. I like harrasing him so I accepted. Lasted about 20 minutes and he still doesn't understand the difference between who and whom. Although, I who was teaching to Zeus whom was listening did start trolling he whom asked for said lesson from me who was now bored 5 minutes in because I whom Zeus was not paying likes harrasing Zeus who was struggling with the use of relative pronouns.

It all started with Zeus saying he was actually "okay" at using proper English. He then misued whom in the very next sentence. I took full opportunity and pointed it out. xD


He later made a bet with me over all caps usage on the forums and I made a killing off the poor guy

Needless to say, he hasn't made a bet or asked for a grammar lesson again. Lmao

Lol, you did make it too easy. The conversating went a bit like this:

Zeus: "Well what is the difference"

Me: "It is a long explanation if you don't know what an appositive is"

Zeus: "I have time. Give us a lesson :3"

Me: "You fool. Mwahahaha"

I think we can all agree that AL has the best (and then some of the very worst) people in a community you can love and hate Many real-life friendships were formed due to this game, and even though I will soon be busy with real-life commitments, those friendships will last even more than our time in game

P.S. From thankfulness to grammar/trolling topics, I really <3 all this craziness

Rofl! Yes...definitely off topic but trolls trolling each other for fun is enjoyable and harmless!

i am thankful for be part of this big comunity

Grr! That run-on sentence! (Back at ya)

They were all conditional statements and thus dependent clauses within three independent clauses. Although lengthy and unnecessarily lengthy, that sentence is not a run-on. The independent clauses are joined by conjunctions and only one subordinating conjunction is used. Therefore, there is a well defined subject and predicate. The sentence is grammatically correct, but annoying (on purpose). The essence of it is as follows: "Although, I did start trolling him 5 minutes in because Zeus wasn't paying me and I like harrasing him."

Out of context, the sentence does sound odd due to the sentence beginning with a conjunction. This, however, is common for me to do as is placing the dependent clause first in a sentence. Both of these actions make writing more complex and are largely frowned upon. But, neither of them are incorrect. This style of writing and speech is argotal to me; as is my habit of using subsitives in place of nouns and pronouns. Substitives are unfortunately considered unacceptable in the English language so I try to avoid using them in forum posts.

I am thankful for my favorite forumers, whose helpful posts allow me to make large sums of cash ingame

I normally enjoy grammar discussions, especially one as comprehensive as this one. But Crow, what in the world do you mean by argotal? Was that supposed to be arbitral or is my dictionary outdated?

Argotal is from the word argot. It describes how we speak rather than what we say. If slang is how speak and what we say, argot is how we speak and jargon is what we say.

Argotal in this context is meant to mean of my background or local speech style. How we are trained to speak by our parents and other people we spoke to daily shaped our argot or speech tendencies.

Example: speaking with only substitive subjects

"Go take out the trash"
"Alright"
"Now please"
"In a moment. Grabbing shoes"
"Will be picked up soon. Make haste"

*Note: argot is apparently a fairly rare word and is listed synonymous with jargon and slang (which is wrong) by Wikipedia. It's from French origin where it means style of speech.
