[QUOTE="Cadfan, post: 3827019, member: 40961"] Wait, what? That's your criticism? I... I don't know how to respond to your criticisms. If serious, your comprehension of informal writing is truly terrifying for someone who's chosen the screen name "English Scribe." For example, the sentence fragments. Those are considered acceptable in informal writing when the goal is to match the cadence and style of verbal English. You [I]must[/I] know that. How could you not? And certain things you've singled out make me think that you're not even posting your criticisms in good faith. You [I]must[/I] be aware that the "7 unruly, unfocused PCs ISO of Dungeon Master." sentence is referencing the stylization and acronyms of personal ads. And you can't [I]possibly[/I] be holding against the author slang from a [I]direct quotation[/I] of someone else: "Your character is going to bite it." Likewise, the brownies comment. You really think that this is a problem? Really? ... are you trolling this thread? I honestly can't tell. I have different ways of responding to sincere but weird people, and to trolls. I can't tell which one to use. [/QUOTE]
