World War of Grammar

Dreamery · 2014-02-15T03:37:29Z

"At the Grammar Conference in London, England, war has been declared on the AGR, the Anti-Grammar Republic by a party called the ' Grammar Alliance ', otherwise known as the GAAF (Grammar Alliance Armed Forces)! Troops on either side have been assembled and are currently being mobilized! Two major forts have been established; one in Paris, France--Fort Adjective(GAAF)--and another in Munich, Germany--Fort TXT(AGR). Supplies are being manufactured and shipped out to the armies! Who knows how long this war will last? Enlist today to assist in the war effort (hopefully on the GAAF)! This "WWG" began because of a dispute over proper grammar after the conference in England! War rages between the AGR and GAAF and the troops are dwindling. The GAAF is outnumbered, but not outgunned. We need more troops! To enlist, simply post on this thread with your name , rank (starting with Pvt. unless otherwise told by me or other GAAF superiors), and level of experience. For example: Pvt. YWS_Person, two years in Advanced English. To rank up, simply document and post any grammar errors you've corrected in reviews (or other places, but most preferably reviews). Like The Knights of the Green Room, but with grammar. Your superiors will then judge your grammatical assistance and determine whether or not you will receive your "tags." Tags are what you'll use to level up in this place: On works in the Green Room: Thorough grammatical assault - Nine tags Moderate grammatical assault - Seven tags Little grammatical assault - Five tags Thorough grammatical assault - Five tags Moderate grammatical assault - Three tags Little grammatical assault - One tag YOUR NEXT RANK IS PVT. E-2 - YOU REQUIRE FIVE TAGS. List under revision: Private E-1 -> Private E-2 (5 tags) Private E-2 -> Private First Class (10 tags) Private First Class -> Specialist (20 tags) Specialist -> Corporal (25 tags) Corporal -> Sergeant (35 tags) Sergeant -> Staff Sergeant (40 tags) Staff Sergeant -> Staff Sergeant First Class (45 tags) Staff Sergeant First Class -> Master Sergeant (50 tags) Master Sergeant -> First Sergeant (55 tags) First Sergeant -> Sergeant Major (60 tags) Sergeant Major -> Command Sergeant Major (65 tags) Command Sergeant Major -> Sergeant Major of the Army (70 tags) Sergeant Major of the Army -> Second Lieutenant (85 tags) Second Lieutenant -> First Lieutenant (90 tags) First Lieutenant -> Captain (95 tags) FEEL FREE TO POST YOUR ASSAULTS AS JOURNAL ENTRIES, SOLDIER ACCOUNTS, ETC. MAKE HASTE , ADVENTURER! I REQUIRE YOUR KNOWLEDGE! The name of this particular 'E' . OFFICIAL GAAF DOCUMENTATION FORM(ASSAULTS) OF [YOUR RANK AND NAME HERE]: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BY40HSQgkuA/TfZy3fBfc9I/AAAAAAAAAgc/5aMFkoKXkN4/s1600/joker.bmp AS A SUMMARY: Post your reviews with grammatical fixes with the documentation form here! Your superiors will, then, gauge how much you helped the author with their grammar and will give you tags based on that! REMEMBER, DO NOT ONLY POST GRAMMATICAL MISTAKES. YOU WANT TO HELP THE AUTHOR, SO POST AN ACTUAL REVIEW ON TOP OF THE ASSAULT. You may post your reviews prior to joining the ranks, but you MUST limit five. -GOA Dd

Sir, I've decided to offer only one review this time, as it's a rather lengthy one. If this is unacceptable, I'll submit more.

It's fine. I'd think that it's more efficient to receive tags in bulk, but you can do it anyway you'd like!

For PFC Ulala8:

1. Thorough assault - Green Room Review - 9 tags

Total: 9 tags

Private First Class -> Specialist (11/20 tags)

Stories from the Front:

PFC Ulala, or @ulala8 has shown exceptional progress in his service and has shown great loyalty to the GAAF! He serves as an example for all other troops and has received an Honorable Mention! Overall, he has done seven reviews which has gotten him to his current position and is only nine tags away from becoming a Specialist. Also, he has helped with the revision of the ranking system and with other ideas.

Also, welcome our newest member: @ShadowVyper.

The GAAF currently has three forts: Fort Adjective in Paris, Fort Quotation in London, and Fort Comma in Washington D.C. Troops have been posted and a GAAF capital has been declared in London! We must not let Fort Quotation fall! The AGR has only two forts: Fort TXT in Munich, and Fort ABRV in Belarus. The AGR's fronts are expanding, however, the war is focused primarily in Europe (for the time being).

A major battle at Fort Quotation took place, shortly after its construction, named The Battle of Great Spelling (GAAF) or The Battle of TXT SPK (AGR). The GAAF prevailed and drove the AGR troops back to their base in Munich.

On another note, American troops have been posted in Quotation. This has sparked disputes between the British troops and American, over the spellings of certain words. The situation has been suppressed and the two groups of soldiers have been separated.
