Your Views on Proper Grammar?

Ah, Monsteroids hit it on the head! PURPOSEFUL misspellings are what get me especially. I can handle common acronyms, but dropping letters for the hell of it makes no sense to me. It just screams lazy to me.

If it's of any consolation, if you're lazy in other ways, I'll not talk to you too.

First, when you read, you *hear* your mind's voice

I wrote that with my butt. I am still trying to figure out which one works better. Rolls butt on keyboard tickles my buttocks, but sometimes I roll my face on it too hard and get hurt.

I'm not the best person at all when it comes to Grammar, I just do my best and make sure it can be read by others.

I just can't stand when people don't use punctuation, like periods or commas and just have run on sentences after the other.

I know you guys LOVE me talking about us all the time, but grammar really makes a difference.

Back when I didn't emphasize grammar so much, I was loathed. I grew out of it, became a (semi) more intelligent poster, and her opinion of me changed immediately.

Dakuda, that's a great find!

I try to use as proper grammar as possible as long as I don't have to think too hard to figure out which word or phrase is the most correct.

 

[Brawny]

You just used "too" and "to" properly in a sentence! You get a gold star.

It often seems as though people use this web page before they post here:

Holy cow thats fun.

A sentence from a paper my friend wrote:

In its broadest sense, science (from the Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") refers to any systematic knowledge or practice. In its more usual restricted sense, science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge based on the scientific method, as well as to the organized body of knowledge gained through such research. This paper focuses on the more restricted use of the word.

I understand that some words are hard to spell and that the backspace key is all the way over there --->. But i cannot stand someone that makes a thread asking a question that is just jiberish(<--- hard word example) If i can read the post, i'm happy. What gets me more pissed than someone using bad grammer is someone that corrects a person who used their or there or they're in the wrong context or many other similer examples. It's and internet forum, not and english paper.

Even though it's a forum, people still have to read what you write. It's easier to read if it's in proper English. And it's easier to be taken seriously if you don't write like a 6 year-old.
