Grammar!!!

[imflyn]

Is it just me that goes crazy reading posts on the internet? So many are full of incorrect grammar. Do people realize how dumb it makes them look and sound when they can't even type a proper sentence? I know it's the internet, people will abbreviate, and there'll be spelling errors here and there, but I think you know the kind of posts I'm reffering to.

There will also be run on sentences.



I agree with you though. It's annoying to have to try to decipher what people say sometimes in their posts because they're not able to think in complete thoughts and write in decent grammer.

I hate those people that can't spell "reffering" right.

I could not agree more. What scares me is that there is an entire generation of children growing up "speaking Internet".

It's only a matter of time before medical journals will have entries such as "take ur pilz 2 pheel bettur, lol! g2g."

DAMN IT! I knew there would be a mistake somewhere!

I think my5thnewusernamehere grasp the meaning of the post. I really do wonder what will happen to English language here in America?

i dont always use proper grammar on here

but i am a fuckin genius in school, so everything i say should be understandable. the people that write sentences with no punctuation between them drive me crazy.
i dont expect perfection, but as long as its understandable its cool

[Secret Formula]

I am constanly editing my posts whenever I spot a mistake I have made. One thing that drives me nuts is when people say "to" instead of "too" and other stuff like that.

[joerockhead]

I do not use proper grammer, I am aware of that.
I do not worry to much about it.

And I often have typo's, as I try to type as fast as my little brain can work.
I don't worry about it, nor do I worry about other's typos.

But I am gladd that itt really reallyt biothers uthers!!!! HAH!! BLAH!!!

Oh man, let me tell you I'm frightened about the future of our country. It's almost as if it's now fashionable to be lacking intellectually.

Several years ago I taught a class in basic computer skills while I was pursuing my MBA. Amongst other problems, I remember that my students had a difficult time understanding how to save files in various Microsoft applications. (Is it that much different saving files in Word as opposed to Excel?). Yeah, it was that bad.

I offered to teach my students (i.e. "give" them the answers to the upcoming exam) if they would meet with me during office hours. Of the 20 students in my class, only 1 took me up on the offer.

Just think that these are the kids entering the "real world". Meanwhile, the Japanese are spending their annual salaries so their children can attend supplemental educational opportunities.

I love the US, but we're doing ourselves in with our educational ignorance.

[eddierox]

I think it's a serious serious problem and I think the mods need to spend an exorbitant amount of time in doing something about it.

recently a guy posted a thread that spelled camaro, "camero"

it was in the thread title, and like 3 times in the post.

Me too, I am always editing afterward to fix my typing errors.

My thoughts exactly. The cell phone commercial that says, "Where you at", is a perfect example.

Glad to hear that other people try pay attention to the little stuff.
