Deja Vous Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 The board has been my release for a long time now. I have felt I can be as "sappy silly", as I want to be. Some times I post on here about corsets, sometimes about God, and sometimes about guns, the fun and the political side. But all of the time's I fail to use proper English. The reason is it goes with the persona of a french/lakota kind of person. And it gives me an even larger escape from my heart by being a "LOL: sort of person. I enjoy humor. I find humor in life and in our language that few people understand. But I have taken it a bit to far, so I will try to tone it down a bit, maybe..... lol The point is I have abused all of you with my lack of grammar because it gives me a freedom that I need in my heart, and in my life. It is easier to take liberties with a language than to have to face life head on, I guess. Being the silly girl in the saloon is easier, but maybe not better? So, tonight I will try to stop my run on sentences that I am so famous for, and my crazy LOL humor, for a more toned down verison of Deja. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Deja, don't you dare change a thing~! Heck... you should see MY writing! My seventh grade English teacher would have a stroke... she who had sentenced me to a daily dose of "Bonehead English" before school; her fourth period class; then another dose of "Bonehead English" after school...

EE Taft Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Ahhhhh, I think I get it.......... You been over on the wire talkin' to Phantom, ain't 'cha? DON'T CHANGE FER NOBODY!!!! I see everyday folks that seem to think they offend everyone by the simplest things they do...........I hate seeing that. If'n ya wanna jabber like monkey in a tree, go ahead. If'n ya wanna pick yer nose while drivin' down the highway, go fer it!! I won't stop ya, and (unless it hurts me or my family, which is purdy hard ta do)I won't be offended one bit. I'm only bothered by folks that seem to be afraid of being who they really are. To live in fear of something like that is kinda a drag... ~EE(I'm gonna be me, and I don't care what anyone thinks)Taft~ Edited 'cause my english ain't that gud neither!

Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Don't go changin' on account of us, Miss Deja. I found you to be one of the more literate scribes in the Saloon. If writing in dialect is what lets you be LOL free, then please feel free to do so. You'll notice that most of us tend to be that way in here.

Tascosa, SASS# 24838 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Deja, I agree with everyone else here. Don't you dare change anything. you are who you are, and to change because of some perseved shortcommings about proper english or spelling here is foolish. This is a fantasy saloon so fantasy language and spelling is down right proper here. Besides have you seen some of my posts? I don't speak english I speak texan, and my spelling leaves lots to be desired. No cowboy or cowgirl here will bring any mistakes to your attention. Your posts are fun, and we love them. Keep it up.... Tascosa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Masked Man Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 So, tonight I will try to stop my run on sentences that I am so famous for, and my crazy LOL humor, for a more toned down verison of Deja. I can't imagine why you'd feel the need, Deja. Writing is part of my job in "real life" and my character is known for perfect grammar, so I have to be "on the stick" as it were - others have no such obligation. More importantly, everyone here loves you JUST THE WAY YOU ARE so as the old song goes "Don't go changin'..." Affectionately yours, TMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 There are a number of people who inhabit the Wire who can barely put three words together. Their posts are frequently grammatically abysmal, structurally deficient and make me wonder how they passed a driver license test. I'm not talking about the folks who use "yore" and "whut" for amusement but those who are Internet denizens who use no punctuation or capitalization and claim it's easier and that's how they're "used to writing". Then there are the ones with incomprehensible run-on paragraphs and the ones who are unable to communicate in writing due to being the victims of a defective educational system or brain damage from melting lead and sniffing the fumes too enthusiastically. You, my dear, are not one of those. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pack Saddle Slim, SASS #73122 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I have found that most folks here in the Saloon really don't care if you know the difference between a split infinitive and a dangling participle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 You come across as relaxed and comfortable. As if you were sitting on the porch with friends, just chatting about whatever comes to mind. This isn't, and I don't think should be, an exercise in formal, doctoral level, dissertation. This is friends and companions sitting down and chewing the fat. Can you pass me that bowl of chicharrones, please? And another beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubborn Dutchman, SASS # 61363 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Deja, don't you go changin a thing darlin! You are who you are, and that's why we all love you. If you were on the right coast, I'd drag you over to my place, throw a couple stakes on the grill, open a bottle of my brothers prise winning wine, and give you a piece of my mind. But as you're not, all I can say is, Don't you go changing one, ... blasted thing about your self! If you need someone to talk with, I don't think anyone in this Saloon would object to an email or PM from you. We're all here for ya darlin, know mater if you can spell or not. I sure can't spell worth a hill of beans. So relax gal, pull a chair over here by the fire, and I'll have the bar-keep pour you whatever you want.

I HATE IT when my participle is dangling. 'specially when folks can see it. Deja, we love you just the way you are. NOT expressing things as you feel free to is in fact a lie.

Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 As long as you are capitalizing the first word of a sentence, making a pass at getting the punctuation close enough to be understood and can spell well enough for me to figger out what you are saying, you are good to go as far as I'm concerned. The only reason I ask for that much is so I can figger out what you are saying instead of having a block of words that just go on and on with no discernible break in thought that I have to decipher. Think of it this way, there ain't gonna be a test at the end of the week, Ms Williams (my 6th grade English teacher) isn't going to check every sentence (or make you diagram the ones you screwed up) and spellin' and punctuation errors don't cost you a letter grade per infraction. I figure it this way, this is an informal setting amongst friends. I wouldn't be insulted by you using vernacular (or dialect in us Southerners' case) in your speech if we were talking rather than typing, so why get all worked up because of how the sentence is structured here on the WIRE?

Deja Vous Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Thanks.... I like my .......... and my lol... and my run on sentences because I put all my thoughts out there really fast.. lol.. I don't have to be a grown up all the time, huh? You are all very sweet. I never worry about how someone else puts a post together, I look for the heart in it. I wish I had all the time in the world to type, but the fact is my time is limited. I work a lot of hours. At work I jump on and post really fast as much as I can. At home I do that too, and my letter writing skills have suffered from it. But at work I can't use my lol or the .......... or run on and on.. so I do it all here. Glad you all mostly get the jest of what I am saying even if i am not all prime and proper about it. lol. I was told once that email and boards would be the end of proper english, and maybe so? Who knows... I will be back later to enjoy myself for now I have to go out to dinner and the gym with a friend... yawn.. maybe I will take a nap instead? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
