So I read (maybe even voted?) on a @Destroyer battle last week in the LGPA and saw the Norwegian brethren @Objective absolutely tear dudes verse apart in his vote for the poor grammar and/or punctuation used in it. Obj went full on MY NEIGHBOURS A DICK SO I'M TAKING IT OUT ON THE NEAREST NCG TO HIS AGE mode on Des in his breakdown haha!

Text never been that serious to me, I've certainly no problem with others grammar or punctuation, it's just never been that important to me. Infact, in text battles for the NBL or whatever having that lack of grammar or punctuation can actually help you out conceptually and whatever IMO

I've never seen it be too huge a problem in topical battles either in fairness, but apparently in poetry it's srs business? They dedicated a whole feature to it in the LGPA mag but for the life of me I can't see how/when this matters in the slightest.

I'm dead ass serious, voting against someone because they forgot a comma or two seems harsh as fuck to me, and I certainly don't advocate it. It seems some people here disagree though?

What's the deal bruhs?
