Frunk Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 "Defence" is the verb' date=' I think, and "Defense" the noun. Key difference.[/quote'] In Australia, so, for all cards I make, you will only ever see Defence, as Defense is not used here, so therfore, not by me.

Carnage Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 All the finish cards we see have been edited down to simple form. This is what Upperdeck and any card company does. Even they make mistakes and reedit card after release. It is a part of human error, we are not perfect and never will be. There can and will always be grammar problems in the forums and by you pointing this out does nothing. To discriminate against ones grammar is just as bad as discriminating a race are culture and it is one of the only ways to do so on the internet. Grammar is important yes but to be mean and out right rude to others is just sadistic. What makes you better than me, just because you can write does not mean you are perfect. We are all human and make mistakes and to judge one simply because they have bad grammar is wrong. It does not mean they can’t make a good car as stated before this is supposed to be fun but by having every spelling and grammar error pointed out is not my ideal of fun. We should be understanding with people who have bad grammar. I am very bad with grammar ( I am sure that you have already notice) but why must you judge me on that you don’t know me and my grammar is not what defines me. Okay, since all of you are pro-grammar a quiz for you than. Below are two card names and two different ways for describing the effect of the card. According to upper deck what one is proper . Garuda the Wind Spirit 1st Description: This monster can only be Special Summoned by removing 1 WIND monster in your Graveyard from play. As long as this monster remains face up on the field, you may change the battle position of 1 of your opponent's face-up Monster Cards at each End Phase of your opponent's turn. 2nd Description:This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This monster can only be Special Summoned by removing 1 WIND monster in your Graveyard from play. As long as this monster remains face-up on the field, you may change the battle position of 1 of your opponent's face-up Monster Cards at each End Phase of your opponent's turn. Inspection 1st Description: During your opponent's Standby Phase, you can randomly select 1 card in your opponent's hand and look at it at the cost of 500 Life Points. 2nd Description:During your opponent's Standby Phase, you can pay 500 Life Points to randomly select 1 card in your opponent's hand and look at it.

SushiTheLegend Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Yes but they don't do the kind of grammar and spelling you use. End of story. Also a card mis-print isn't the same as writing shortened words and incorrect grammar. A HUGE DIFFERENCE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryFreelance Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I love this thread <333333333333 GrammAr is so important to everyONE because without grammAr, we'd be lost. It's as simple as that. If you don't believe me, go to the ghetto.

Weather Duelist Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Why is grammar such an issue? If you wanted to mispell cards like mad, then dont be surprised when we catch you on it. If you don't care about your cards, then dont bother making them. What I find fun is seeing cards that look real, and when I see a card like yours, its not fun. If I can tell its a fake, then there goes the coolness of the card. End of story. And by the way, I nitpick on BOTH. I don't care if its bad grammer or bad wording... if I see either, than the card fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if its bad grammer or bad wording... if I see either, than the card fails. How can cards look real if the art work is nothing like that of Yugioh cards. The serial number don’t match any card published. The deck ID does not mach any set released. In Yugioh the copyright has nothing to do with the creator of the effect of the card. The year on every published card is the same. So how can grammar be the ONLY thing you look at every card on this sight is fake and we know it. Do you think just because your grammar is so much better that your card will be made into an official card, Not likely. Remember this is fun and you should not ridicule others for there mistakes. I am sure Upperdeck has more than one person wording every card they release and they are paid to do this, we are having fun and do this because we choose to. Just so you all know I do try to make my card look the best I can, we all have off days. Sometimes I just rush and get words mixed up. My grammar sucked before I got here and it shall when I leave.

Tkill93 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 2 definitions taken from urban dictionary of grammar nazi Someone who believes it's their duty to attempt to correct any grammar and/or spelling mistakes they observe. Usually found hanging around Irc chatrooms hounding "n00bs". A person who criticizes someone else's grammar, spelling, and/or punctuation, usually in an online setting. While they are often seen as uptight a holes who really need to get a life, it should be noted that they point out simple flaws that often show a lack of intelligence on the part of the person being criticized.
