Redemption

CronoSerge

<div class="IPBDescription">Gotta secret for you</div> The present tense verb form of redemption is not redempt, nor is the past tense redempted. They are redeem and redeemed respectively. Learn some basic grammar people.

Cry_Havoc

Indeed. I've heard the first two way too much in games.

CronoSerge

Does it really matter all that much?? Yeh i hate people who call turrets turrents and all the other names people give other things but does it really matter all that much that u have to make a post about it??
If it does heres 40c to tell someone who cares, i thought this was gonna be a post with something interesting.

Sorry not every one has the perfect grammar you wish for. But get over it. Seriously...

That may be, but when you hear someone over voice com that is obviously grown up saying "redempted" its a little sad, no?

Clint

I fell out of my chair, this was so interesting!

Dood u put forward a point that will possibly make one person think twice before they say what they have gotten in the habit of saying. Good luck in your endeavour to cure the ns community of their grammatical errors.

Im not intentionally trying to flame u but can u see any use to this thread and do u think it will change the way the whole community speaks??

Ah well im off to bed now. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

GreyPaws

wonder if crono knows the past tense of 'dive'

INSInstrumentality

dove?

And so what if you're using Redempt, or redempt-ed, you're not talking about someone redeemed from his sins, you're talking about an onos autoretreating upon heavy damage.

So: Blah.

My onos will always be redempted, and for that my soul can never be redeemed.

killswitch

Jeese why is everyone jumping on this guy. Im glad he posted this because I notice the mistake a lot too. Thank you Cronos

GreyPaws

kill: the people in game are not writing their PHD thesis or dissertation, they are trying to get the general idea of what they mean across to others. If you love grammar so much go get an English major and write a book.

Terr

I'm a great believer in using orl-kerrect (O.K.) english, but 'redeemed' has such religious overtones that as a matter of faith I will accept the usage of 'redempted'. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Path

OMG COMMANDO!! MORE TURRENTS TO KILL TEH PWNOS BEFORE HE REDEMPTS!!

Seroiusly though, as long as you get the general idea of what the people are saying, I don't think it matters. I'll often hammer out a really horrible sentance to warn my team of an incoming threat.

Ollj

Me playing in the dark rarely screws one word of a sentense by hitting the letter letters too much left like:
"Comm there are 4 gsfrd oj proc"

Hitting 2 numbers instead of one gives funny misunderstandings, too:
"We have 23 oni incoming at hive"

Im the king of typos anyways, thats how I got my nick, typing "yes" like "jes" for too months on irc named "Oliver".
