RE: WIN 20 SBD - 2 Sentence Horrifying Blind Dates Contest # 2: Last Chance To Enter (Original Contest)

in #contest7 years ago (edited)

If you are referring to the joining of two clauses, I understand but however, this is open to interpretation in regards to this contest, and I know whose entry you're referring to, yet they were the only entrant at the time, and I realize that they tried their best to write two complete sentences, although long, and that English is not their mother language. I take all this into consideration, and I appreciate your note thank you, I already know what a run-on sentence is and I have studied English grammar extensively, being an English Major. I will pick the winner based on many factors, not only grammar. Thanks again

Sort:  

Well, I guess I could have smuggled more meaning into my entry if that were the case but you are going to choose how you want anyway. It's not really a fair game if one was to follow the rules you had prescribed to a T(as in two sentences per normal conventions) which I believe I had done. I get it that you are trying to hook them up but that sort of practice does discourage those that more precisely follow the rules to participate in the future. It is what it is.

I am fair, and this is a fair game. The entry you're speaking about is two sentences, they used commas, and there are only two Periods . .
And thank you for also following the rules just like that other entrant you seem to be worried about. I am not hooking anyone up, they followed all the rules, but I can just tell that their mother language is not English, but they still gave two lengthy sentences.

I encourage you to read my entry. It is actually funny specifically if you know what a Furry is, I digress. Still, I am disappointed that rules had turned out to be so pliable. It's like " Let me bend the rules so I can win". I don't care what the language is. That is the language of "not cool" in my book. If you were gonna let people get by outside of the parameters, you would have done well to not include the parameters . It only puts those that were diligent and exercised care in observing them at a disadvantage.

I am getting to reading your entry, and I don't know what a Furry is, but I'll research it. Like I said before, I'm not bending the rules, nor is any of the Valid Entrants above, everyone has written two sentences, no matter the length and upvoted and resteemed. Thanks

They are definitely perfect for my children, never knew about that, I had just saw them on Google for the first time about ten minutes before, thanks for the extra photo.
