What is the [funnest] class to play?

[MOZZYSTAR]

Dictionary.com is the furthest thing from the definitive source of the English language (the Oxford English Dictionary is). The key is in your[b] link: Informal English. Dictionary.com includes so many informal and colloquial language, which are not words by the authoritative sources. If you write a paper at any college or university worth their salt, and write the word funnest, it will be circled and marked, "not a word."

As for all the others who throw around "Grammar Nazi," you're just too funny. I guess it's an unrealistic expectation when browsing an English forum for posters to use actual words? This is why society is going down the toilet.

Bro, this is a forum for gaming. Not for academic papers. I don't see anywhere in the rules of this forum that says to use formal English, do you? Of course I'm going to talk/write differently here than I am going to write an article for university or business. Though, if we want to get nitpicky over grammar, here's a fun fact for you: you should never capitalise after a full colon or a semi-colon unless it's a title like Final Fantasy because it is not a period, exclamation, or question mark. The only time (outside of titles) one should capitalise is at the start of a new sentece followed by period/question mark/exclamation mark. Unfortunately, it is a very common and overlooked mistake (though, who knows? It might vary from US to CA to UK, et cetera, because they all have different grammatical rules.). Despite being a scholarly person who is well-aware of the consequences of a professor's ruthless red pen, I see you capitalised after a full colon despite it not being a title. Tsk-tsk. If you were my student, I'd circle that and give it a -5 points.

But I'm not your teacher. :| So, I'm not going to because I don't care. Like I said before: this isn't an academic forum for academic papers. The only thing that matters here is not our language but our connection to Final Fantasy XIV; it's partly why the forum isn't JUST English. So, arguments of fun vs funnest and the rules of the colon don't really belong here.

Now that we've got that out of the way, why don't you tell me or the general reader here which classes you find the most fun.

Edit: I just noticed someone literally said the same thing. Woops! Sorry! But I'm glad to see that someone was on the same train of thought (or vice versa). /Highfives DumdogsWorld
Also, thank you to the others who have been really chill. xD Did not expect that! /Highfives to the rest as well

Snip.

To respond: the individual that I was quoting gave proper noun status to Informal English. So, when I responded to him / her, I maintained that proper noun status that was established, ergo the capitalization after the colon. In addition, capitalizing and not capitalizing after a colon are both technically correct, as they are both acceptable applications of proper English. It also does not matter what the forum's content is; when I go to an English forum, I expect proper English, as do so many others. Children know that 'funnest' is not a word, so it's not an unreasonable expectation for adults to know it is not a word as well. But, if the basic execution of a language is an unreasonable ask on a forum for that language, well, I'd prefer not to think about what that says about our society.

As to the haters: if no one actually cares, why are so many of you triggered? Seems like an awful lot of you are defending poor usage of the basics of English, which is really sad.
