I found this gramar problem on neopets. I thought my gramar in English class was bad:

Quoth Blathering Beech:
You will regret your decision to come here... You won't want to go near trees are I am done with you...

I swear to god this came directly from his quote as soon as i beat one. I wouldv'e gotten a screen shot but I dont know how. Anyone else find this one or any other problems with the trees?

I think I just found this mistake

Quote:You don't want to go near trees as I am done with you...

Anyway English is not my main language so I don't know whats wrong beside those

Eh, the challengers have grammar issues from time to time. Actually, it could have been a problem with a typo and auto-spellchecking, in the first case. It should probably be 'after' instead of 'are'.

Maybe TNT is trying to make the challengers be like 90% of the neopets population by making their writing almost impossible to understand?

Anyways have there been any other gramar problems in the past with battledome challengers?

Also your right Mike that is one way of interpreting the phrase.

EDIT: found another

Quoth Blathering Beech:
What do you think you are that you challenge me...

weee5067 · 11-05-2006, 08:12 PM

What interpretation? Where?

"What do you think you are that you challenge me... "
Actually, that sentence isn't very grammatically incorrect...the idiom is "WHO do you think you are TO challenge me...", but I can't think of why it'd be particularly wrong to say 'what' and 'that you'. I'm pretty sure it IS wrong, but I don't know the rule behind that one Toungue

All I know is the trees have no more than a 3rd grade education(no offense to 3rd graders) and hopefully the next opponets will know how to talk.

They are only trees, and trees aren't known for their intelligence, so it may have been deliberate on TNT's part.

Quote:I LOATH YOU!

Loath is an adjective;I think that the word they wanted to use was loathe.

If you're thinking about grammar problems, maybe you should fix up the name of this topic. "Grammar" is spelt with two m's, not one. Also, the word is not "opponets", it is "opponents".

I don't see why you people should be complaining about it when most of you type without capitalising the first letter of each sentence and using "ur" instead of "your" and "y" instead of "why". Most people type with one space between each sentence when the standard is two spaces.

If you say this is Internet talk, let the trees have their Internet talk and don't complain.

You got me at the opponents tittle part but I wasn't tralking about internet talk, I just meant the trees because all of the other battledome opponents or at least all the I faced seem to have riight gramar versus a few of the new opponents, mainly the trees, don't seen to have any gramar what so ever. That is what this topic is based on and not internet talk that people use like on the furums sometimes and on runescape or any other online game.
