If only game hints followed the same rules...
Yes, I admit to grammatical errors. I tend to take the stance that I will write as I speak. I make sure I don't do anything too horrendous, but my sentences do get quite long sometimes. I tend to avoid breaking these sentences into several, instead I add () and ... to attempt to create some coherency. If my posts are ever less then clear, please ask for refinement. I will almost always oblige.
I still stand by a post I made long ago:
Engineers talk with math first, and grammar second. It is a fact of life.
Grammar is very important in coming acrossed as clearly to your readers. However sometimes improper grammar sounds clearer then proper grammar. That is when I tend to go away from the strict rules.
Side note: I still to this day can never remember the difference between effect and affect. If someone cares to enlighten me, feel free to. However, I've looked it up many times already and still can't seem to remember it. I tend to just use "effect" whenever I want to say either out of habit.
