Hello, MFGG, welcome to another forum game! And this will be the
LEAST FUN experience you could possibly think of! After all, this one will test your grammar; and it won't be easy!
You can sign up now. Once enough people have signed up, the game will begin. Everyone will be given a text with lots of grammar errors and spelling mistakes hidden within. Your job will be to find every single one and correct them.
You'll have to post your results here.
UPDATE: You will have to send them to me via PM, so looking at other people's posts and editing is not possible. I will post all corrections handed in myself then. The topic will be locked until all corrections have been handed in to me via PM.
If you overlooked a mistake, you will be removed from the game.
UPDATE: You'll be allowed to overlook 2 mistakes in the first round and one in the second round. After that, any oversights will remove you from the game. Corrections of things that were already correct will count as mistakes! Rewording as well as rephrasing is also not allowed. All others will be able to proceed to the next round. The texts will become significantly harder over time. A round ends once everyone has handed in their corrections. After that, the correction phase starts. You win by collecting the most points. You can earn points the following way:
- Point out an oversight of someone else (at the end of the round): +1 point (maximum of 3 points to be collected after a round ends)
- Survive round: +3 points
The game ends when the first person reaches 20 points (or you are the only one left!). If you point out an oversight that was actually correct, you will
lose 2 points!
After a round is completed, the correction phase is open for the remaining day, and the next day.
NOTE: The correction phase starts
after everyone has handed in their corrections. The correction phase will be closed when I, the great DJ Coco, get up that day which is probably around
18:00 GMT+1This game will really test your intellect! You will have to know punctuation, spelling, apostrophes, usage, tenses, and so on. Good luck!
The texts will all be in
AMERICAN ENGLISH. There won't be any penalties if it's correct in British English, though.
Status Quo:CouchTomato is the winner!
