"Hint: If you do not want to look mentally handicap, use the [quote ] tag. "
I think you mean "mentally handicapped", which is not a real term anyway, because handicap is always physical.
And whatever type, method or way of quoting others someone uses, has nothing to do with their mental faculties any more than your choices of what type of underpants you wear. It's just a matter of taste.
I could have quoted you like this:
> Hint: If you do not want to look mentally handicap, use the [quote ] tag.
This was the old BBS-style. Also, your tag has a mistake in it - you are not supposed to leave a space after the word "quote", otherwise it doesn't work. Yes, I know why you did it that way - if you did it properly, it would -become- a quote, and not show as a command. But why not just say "the quote-tag" instead of even using the []? I also think you are missing a hyphen before the word "tag".
In any case, if using quotation marks was good enough for Mark Twain and all those legendary authors in human history, it should definitely be good enough for humble pseudo-realtime, unofficial IMDb forum discussions.
And/or, if the old BBS-style was good enough for all those excellent people that used to have long and meaningful, even sophisticated and deep discussions in the old Bulletin Board Systems, it should dámn well be good enough for everyone, especially you people who can't seem to even grasp the basic english grammar, although english is the most easy language in the world (after telepathy, perhaps).
Grow up, and stop telling others how they should do things - no one is going to look mentally handicap [sic] just because they don't conform to YOUR quotation preferences.
If YOU do not want to look like a retarded mongoloid, perhaps you can admit I am right, hmm?
(And before anyone attacks me because of my choice of words, I have just watched "Extras" and "The Office", as well as some of Gervais's live comedy stuff, and certain things just struck me as hilarious - the word 'mongoloid' is pretty funny in itself, and since I don't mean any offense, no one should be offended)
Lastly, I hope you see the irony of using bad grammar when trying to explain to others how NOT to look like you have mental problems..
