"Benefiting the Grammatically Impaired"


Here are some links to help you when you are Rping.

Dictionary

Thesaurus

----------------------------------------------------------------

Just in case you are unfamiliar with what each of these is here is a brief explanation.

A Dictionary-This is where you can look up definitions for words you do not know. This way you can improve what you are writing and have a greater understanding of it.

A Thesaurus-This is what is used to help you sounds more sophisticated. You look up a word that you do know, and this gives you other words that mean the same thing. When you use this, you can sound more sophisticated and seem like a better Role Player. But this is suggested for using when you have a better understanding of Grammar usage.

----------------------------------------------------------------


Homophones- (A Homophone is a word that sound the same but mean different things; I.E To, Too, Two) If you ever have a question on which means which you can use the Link that sends you to the dictionary that was written previously.

Also, something that can greatly benefit you is the usage of periods and commas. When you are writing a sentence you will use a comma to indicate a small pause or breath. When you use a period, it help shows a slightly longer pause or breath and also shows that the idea in that topic is done with. (Of course only dealing with that aspect of the subject, for paragraph you can write about the same thing but different aspects of it.) Using periods helps make your post easier to understand. Thus, more people will RP with you since they know what you are talking about and can read it more easily.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Whenever writing a sentence don't put too much or too little into it. If you constantly put "and" or "also", you make it a run-on sentence (which is a sentence that keeps going on with too much information in it.)

Also if you include to little information in a single sentence it is known as a fragment. Fragments are better than a run-on because it doesn't go and confuse everybody, but it makes everything to vague and nondescriptive so it is hard for people to carry on and they will sometimes avoid you.

So overall, try to make it a decent sentence, with one "and" or "also" at most per sentence. This way, you won't have as many issues with anyone misinterpreting what you're saying in your posts.


----------------------------------------------------------------


A Noun- If you aren't familiar with a noun then know that it is a person, place, thing, object, or idea. A noun is basically anything that has a name. (For example, Pinky stabs people. The noun would be Pinky since he is the person, and happens to be the object.

A Pronoun-A Pronoun is a word that takes place of a Noun. The Pronouns are He,She,His,Her,It,They and Them. You can use these to replace a Noun so it isn't always repetitive and boring. These can help spice up your rps a bit. But, before using one make sure that the noun is clear, you may think your using it right when in fact you could be using it incorrectly.

Example- Etzolix stabbed his neck.

You could then say "It was then obliterated so it wasn't recognized any longer". You could be talking about one of three things, Etzolix, Etzolix's blade that he used to stab, or the neck, the thing that just happened to be stabbed. If the previous sentence has something like this be sure to follow up in the next sentence with the object you wish to discuss. That way, after that you can use the pronoun to replace the noun and everyone will still understand what you are talking about. Using this method will cause less confusion and less of a hassle on both sides.
