Borderlands Page On Wikipedia Briefly Defaced
Sat, 02/28/2009 - 14:30
In the revisions section for the Borderlands Wikipedia page, I saw that the page was briefly defaced earlier this month.
John Powell is an upcoming big weinered guy science fiction first-person shooter with RPG banana flavored elements that is currently in development by Gearbox Software for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
The changes were almost immediately undone. I'm not impressed by this prankster. Firstly, his work isn't even grammatically correct (e.g. "upcoming big weinered guy science fiction first-person shooter"?). Secondly, it reads like a Mad Libs done by a bunch of fifth graders (e.g. "banana flavored elements").

Ok ok;
while I do not approve of such childish shenanigans, "banana flavored elements" was a pretty good line.
Haha

Johnny Mac, you must have a
Johnny Mac, you must have a subject and a verb on both sides of the semicolon. "Ok, ok" is a fragment, and would receive a regular colon. Actually, it's only an interjection, so it would have a comma after the second ok.
We're going to ferociously attack all those from Payallup, Washington, US. We now have 30,000 enemies until they forfeit the one to disgrace Borderlands in such a manner.

Why do all the threads now turn into discussions about semicolons?

I spend all of my time worrying about my comma splices and what not in my English 291 Advanced College Composistion course. The last thing I'm worried about is my punctuation on a forum, yep, punctuation; love it.

Once again, semicolon misuse.
Once again, semicolon misuse. There's only a verb and an object, no subject. That might have worked if the final clause were a command, but the implied subject is yourself, so it doesn't. The simplify the rules, just incase you need it, only use the semicolon to replace a period mark between two non-fragmental clauses. Even better: just don't use them. just don't use themIf you're taking a college course on this, you'd do best to take what you're learning and apply it in the proper manner: use outside the classroom.
On Topic part: The page hasn't been vandalized again, as of yet.

Am I like the youngest person here?
Everyone's talking about college. Am I the only person still in HS? Anyway, I think I can use semicolons correctly; I can use them better than Johnny at least.

I promis you L3VI that any
I promise you L3VI that any post containing blatant misuse of puncuation is more than likely on purpose. I guess the underlying tone of sarcasm isn't grasped well over the medium of "message board".
Haha Leon I will semicolon battle you to death.

If you must know Leon
I graduated from college in 2004. You can do the math.
You are definitely not the youngest though; occasional poster Prin-z is 12. BOOM semicolon sentence.
Shall we go uber-fanboy and place an I.P. ban on 98.225.41.123?
