The following chat session was recorded in a World of Warcraft game. A player asking for help gets a lesson in spelling and grammar.
[Perolex] whispers: can u run me thought a dungeon
To [Perolex]: You didn’t ask properly.
[Perolex] whispers: can u plz run me thought a dungeon
To [Perolex]: Six errors still.
[Perolex] whispers: what
[Perolex] whispers: a lvl like 70 dungeon so I can lvl up
[Perolex] whispers: anyone
To [Perolex]: Here, I’ll get you started. “U” and “plz” are not words.
[Perolex] whispers: can you please run me tought a dungeon
[Perolex] whispers: thought
[Perolex] whispers: throught
To [Perolex]: There’s an extra letter on the end.
[Perolex] whispers: there is?
To [Perolex]: Mhm. “Throught” isn’t a word either. 🙁
[Perolex] whispers: can you run me through a dungeon please?
[Perolex] whispers: please
To [Perolex]: Woo, we’re making progress! 🙂 Still two errors though.
[Perolex] whispers: how
To [Perolex]: “Can” is not the correct word. Yes, I can, meaning I have the ability. But you seem to be asking if I WILL.
[Perolex] whispers: will you run me through a dungeon please?
To [Perolex]: So close. Now let’s see that capital letter beginning our sentence.
[Perolex] whispers: Will u run me through a dungeon please
To [Perolex]: Ack, we gained two more errors! “U” is not a word and we lost our punctuation at the end of our sentence!
[Perolex] whispers: Will you run me through a dungeon please.
To [Perolex]: Veeeery close. We need different punctuation at the end though. A period makes the sentence a statement. You’re asking a question. So what do we need?
[Perolex] whispers: Will you run me through a please?
To [Perolex]: Bless your heart for sticking with me… we’re missing a noun this time though. Will I run you through a what, please?
[Perolex] whispers: Will you run me through a dungeon please?
To [Perolex]: Nope, that’s what the dungeon finder is for. I hope you learned something about spelling and grammar though! 🙂
[Perolex] whispers: f u
