Even with the basics. I'm not a grammar Nazi but come on. Everyone should know the difference between your and you're.... or their, there, and they're. The American educational system is a complete failure.

Can you guys take some pride and try not sounding like illiterate delinquents?

*rant over*

I'm in your corner on this one.

I am dyslexic. My grammar has always been skewed at times. It has gotten better actually with discussion boards such as these. I surely do not judge. Judging what substance people bring to the conservation is a lot better than how they deliver it IMO.

:suds:

Exactly. We're talking about informal writing.

I have more of an issue with people creating threads claiming they are not something, when the creation of the thread is the absolute definition of what they are clamming they are not.

I feel like those people get so excited to type "YOU LOOSE!@!!!!!" they just forget to give up that O key a second too late.

Well it's understandable that you would encounter both of those words often… Being a fan of the Lions

Graduated HS from one of the top ten in the Nation,scored in the top 5% nationwide on tests,do i misspell and screw up grammar here often? hell yes i do and i do not give a shit,it has far more to do with my lack of keyboarding skills when i typed the typewriter weighed over 30 pounds and had ink tape left over from the 50's and my typing class teacher gave me a D+ just to be nice and then i cut several tendons not once but twice in one hand so i have very little feeling in it.

Do you honestly think i am going to go back and make every minute correction so some pencil neck dweeb that most likely uses spell check and has some issue on how i type?

Not a fucking chance.

Try typing perflouroelastomer into your smart phone spell checker. It will make you feel smarter than the phone.

I agree with the OP. When poor grammar is used, it can be distracting to understanding the message. It's like a lot of background noise during a conversation.

You complain about grammar, and proceed to start with an incomplete sentence, and then go on to leave out a needed comma in the next sentence.

Thread fail.

It's not nit picking though. I don't expect people to have flawless grammar because I'm not perfect by any means... However, 1st grade grammar shouldn't be that difficult. I'm offended you'd call that nit picking lol.

Now you're using text lingo in a thread where you're bitching about grammar.

You're going straight to hell.
