Grammar and Spelling??

[prtee33]

I have noticed a large majority of people using the forums have extremely poor spelling and grammar. It is both hilarious and sad at how awful many of these posts are written.  I question if it is because English is not their primary language or if they are just really uneducated.  I have a greater desire to correct and point out the mistakes in their posts then to answer or respond to the topic most of the time. I don't think half the people read their posts before they hit the post button. The mistakes are so obvious I just don't get it.

People do yourself a favor and check your posts. Alot of you look really stupid! LOL.


P.S. See the modify button?? You can correct yourself after the fact. Try it.

I totally agree but just like you said, some are of a foreign place or just plain uneducated. I do however find it very important to concider someone's feelings in the matter. There is a such thing as being 'constructive' in criticism instead of 'destructive'. Being uneducated or a foreigner may not be the reason here. It could be age or a sickness. Be kind.

Did you consider that some people are using the shortened versions for texting?   Or maybe they made there point and dont feel the need to change the spelling or grammar.  Most of us here understand what they are saying and go with that.  Maybe you are having trouble understanding them.   Try to be considerate and not picky about what people write or how they write.

I find words spelled wrong when I read the newspaper and some books. Sometimes, a word is missing.

Actually you are SMART if you can read this...............you can still read bad spelling!!................contrary to the one who posted this topic!!

Poor grammar and spelling is not necessarily a sign of a lack of education or intelligence; rather, it is more likely due to laziness.  The additions of the internet and texting into nearly everyone's lives have made it all to easy to become extremely informal when communicating with the written word.  

There are some negatives to using poor grammar and spelling:  

1.  It does tend to imply a lack of interest in or respect for whatever the topic is.
2.  It can quite easily bleed into your way of speaking (like people saying "lol").

But lets not fight over it.  I also don't like to see too much of "u mean dis don mak mee luk smrt?", but I'm not going to sweat over it.  Instead, lets laugh at some funny grammar and spelling boo boos!

There's "Damn you auto correct", and "Lamebook"; both are funny sites for you to peruse prtee33.

I think it is just a sign of the times.  In the thread where we are counting to one million, most folks forget or omit the "comma" when the post a numerical entry............example such as: 2210 instead of 2,210.........but I still understand what they mean.

SAVE THE COMMA!!!!!!!

Well there is not much you can do about that. Our language is changing whether we want it to or not. The internet and cell phones are drastically changing the way we communicate. Short hand and LEET Speak are taking over. Why learn grammar and spelling when technology does it for you. I feel fairly educated myself but even I have noticed a decline in my grammar and spelling ability. Many words I used to know how to spell are gone because I rely on the computer to fix it for me. If it doesn't I fix it I find a site that will correct me or do a search and have it correct me. In this world, the grammar and spelling control freaks will suffer. Sorry =(
