Graeme, don't bother trying to educate Tauren & Boron, it's a waste of time. I solved my problem with their Posts by using the ignore user functionality of the new forum software. Cleans things up rather nicely. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon45.gif[/img]

In Denmark (at least when I attended high-school) German was a mandatory subject, and back then I would second Boron's opinion on the grammar. Capitalizing nouns is a hassle (removed from the Danish language quite some time ago), not to mention all the other complicated rules.

I hated these complications when I was younger, but now I must admit that I enjoy weird language rules and I detest bad grammar (in official/important texts, but not in everyday communications – what Category this forum falls into is a matter of personal opinion. I’m basically a lurker and as such I check my spelling vigorously). I even dislike American spelling with the missing "u" in "color" and the like. I think this might be an age thing.

(The interested can do a simple google search on “capitalization in german”)

Me too but that is probably more because I am English & also am wary of American "cultural imperialism".
It is exasperating to see people too lazy to type or punctuate or even write whole words out "r u my m8" grrr.

Still language changes & sooner or later some of these abominations will be standard...

lol .
first it is a habit from cs + starcraft . if you type there with right capitalization and punctuation it is pointless anyways .

second english is not my native language but afaik only the word at the beginning of a sentence is written in capitalization in english and nothing else .
no big deal if i leave that out .

third in german orthography sucks . in every chat in german nobody cares about capitalization at all and in most Boards not too .


finally imo in 10-20 years it will be even included in a new reform to write everything without capitalization .
would be a rather good thing .



for a 50 year old person you behave really childish arryn .
to flame me and laugh at me only because i do no capitalization .
oh well there is a figure of speech : old people start becoming childs again .
perhaps you do this earlier than most other

but as it is i think it is more because i dared to say dominions is imbalanced .

so now you + cainehill use just the sligthest chance to flame me and try to make me look bad .
well just continue it just decreases your reputation more than mine
