Message: <blockquote data-quote="mythusmage" data-source="post: 1127090" data-attributes="member: 571">This is a Rant, This is Only a RantI was reading a thread on editing before coming here, and so I may be a tad hypersensitive, but this (along with myriad other mistakes in this post alone) grated on my sensibilities.What is with the proliferation of "although"? It's not a bad word. In the right place it's a very good word. The above is not the right place. There is a better word, "though". As in, "Now though RPGs don't sell all that well to the general public…". See, a sentence that is easier to read, easier to comprehend, and you've saved a comma for later use.And while I'm on this rant, could you (second person plural) please start proofreading your posts before you post them. (I'm sure you know who you are.) Atrocious grammar and phrasing does your argument no good. Hell, I've stopped reading badly composed postings. I've got better things to do than try to figure out what a poster was trying to say. And, no, I will not make allowance for those for whom English is a second language. Were Hebrew my native tongue I'd make the same demand of those for whom it is a second language. Clarity of writing indicates clarity of thought and adds impact to your argument.We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.</blockquote>
