I was just wondering if everyone could survive a whole day on this board using good grammar and spelling.
Anyone want to try?
Some of these posts I have to read 2-10 times to try and figure out what in the world the author is trying to say.
Everyone always uses the excuse, "I type too fast and I don\'t want to correct them. I know they are wrong though."
There is a difference between stupid spelling errors and having a post that makes no sense what-so-ever.
Just read what you wrote before you hit submit!
I PROPOSE THAT 10/4 be Good Grammer Day!!!!
Obviously the non-english people are cut some slack.

Point a thread out that makes no sense..I have a nice pic for them :D

BTW Videoholic, I\'ve noticed that your spelling is often not of the highest quality. I can\'t fault your grammar, but the spelling has been noticable. I am frustrated by spelling and grammar errors everywhere in the world, but I don\'t say anything about them here because you never can tell how old the poster is.
I find it really funny that non-native english speakers like Samwise, Small Lady, Fastson, Hawke, and others can compose English text with perfect grammar, yet some of our adult educated Americans are too lazy to bother.

I would never say that I have the best grammar nor the best spelling. I\'m not complaining on the regular miss-spellings. Haven\'t you guys noticed that some posts by people are virtually un-readable?
These are the ones that annoy me. Regular ole miss-spellings I couldn\'t care less about.

You said it yerself....LazyAmericans.... Me,myself..I could care less. There is a time and a place for everything..and a net forum is not the place I care to be proper. I save my professionalism for things that deserve it:D

It\'s possible to choose whether you write in a casual or a professional style, yet both styles can be grammatically correct. There are also times when I write things that are intentionally incorrect for comedic effect. However, If everything you write is incorrect, you\'re probably not doing it intentionally. I mean "you" in general, not you specifically luckee. You haven\'t posted enough for me to remember any of your posts.
Videoholic: You DID mention spelling in your first post in this thread...

well that was me who wrote that...i meant i just heard the greatest song ever, sorry if i miss spell words, i havent got hte greatest skills on a keyboard, much better than they were when i first came here though...sometimes i dont press the keys hard enough, so it looks like i\'ve missed out words. The other reason is that i dont look at the screen when typing, so unless i sense i\'ve messed up, i dont notice.....is that ok

Can we PLEASE include posts that are a solid brick of text to this special day of correction and posting-prudence?
How many times have we seen a post that has NO punctuation, paragraphs or syntax.
Alot of posts have words thrown up there that try to put a coherent thought together, but fail miserably.
I\'m with you, Vid! No more "Jumble" posts that need the Rosetta Stone to decipher!

I just pass right by these posts. If they can\'t spend the time to hit the return button then they can like my butt.
